2014 All Ireland Credit Union Schools Quiz launched
The Irish League of Credit Unions (ILCU) launched its 23rd Annual All Ireland Schools Quiz.
The Credit Union Schools Quiz has become a highly anticipated event on the school calendar, with over 25,000 school children from North & South of the border participating every year.
The annual event is run in over 300 venues in rural & urban communities across the country. The Quiz consists of two ‘knock out’ stages which culminates in a national final which will be held in the RDS in early April 2014. 100 teams will compete in the national final
Speaking at the launch of the Quiz, ILCU President Martin Sisk said: “We are absolutely thrilled to launch our 23rd Annual Credit Union Schools Quiz. For the past 22 years, the quiz has been hugely popular throughout the country and we expect this year to be no exception. We look forward to seeing our young qualifiers in the RDS next April, for what promises to be an exciting final and we wish everyone who takes part in the local and regional qualifiers the very best of luck.”
Quiz Master for the event will be RTE’s Marty Whelan, who helped launch the event at St.Brigid’s Primary School in Dublin.
