The first one is right, but not the second.

Again the second is wrong, I'm afraid (although the answer to number three is correct).

All spot on, nicely done Shayne. Dublin means 'black pool' in Gaelic. The stadium in question is Croke Park. (Is that the answer you got, Daithi?).
Although the mighty mouse sort of got 2/3 correct first, I'm inclined to give the honour to Shayne for her perfect answer (I'm also a little worried that pdurrant might post another maths question).
Whichever one of you has a question ready to go, go for it.
