QUIZ: Can you name all 9 presidents of Ireland in 2 minutes?

No Googling now.

Conor Heneghan

Irish presidential election

How’s your knowledge of Irish history?

Considering that only nine men and women have served as president of Ireland since 1938, the names of all of them should really come easily to most Irish people.

That said, the national anthem is something we should all probably know by heart as well and yet quite a lot of us mumble through a few lines after belting out ‘Sinne Fianna Fáil’ at the start.

With that in mind, we wouldn’t be surprised if some of you can’t name all nine Irish presidents below, especially with the pressure of a ticking clock thrown into the mix.

You have two minutes to prove us wrong.

Go!
