The questions, compiled nationally by primary school teachers covered such general topics as geography, history, music, literature and sport.
Tralee Credit Union held their Noreen Lynch Annual Schools Quiz on Sunday in the Brandon Hotel Conference Centre, Tralee.
This year, 52 teams participated in the Quiz representing 27 primary schools throughout Tralee, Castleisland, Killorglin and surrounding areas.

Speaking to Siobhan Donnelly, Marketing & Development Executive with Tralee Credit Union said, “We were delighted with the support from all the schools who battled it out for the fun filled action packed two hours. It’s Tralee Credit Union’s 50th Anniversary so it was great to see such a large number of schools attend this year’s School Quiz. With the talent in the room it is very obvious that the future is in safe hands. Our thanks to all the schools, students and their families and of course to the Tralee Credit Union’s team for making this event one of the biggest events on the school calendar.”
