Online Competitions to Win

Brian O’Driscoll Irish International rugby player today launched the 19th Annual All-Ireland Schools Quiz Competition for the Irish League of Credit Unions. This enormously successful competition will be run through the winter in communities all over Ireland by volunteers from over 500 ILCU affiliated member credit unions. Over 25,000 young people took part in last year’s contest.

Commenting on the launch today Mark Bailey President of the Irish League of Credit Unions said “The credit union movement have always supported young people through our community initiatives. Our All Ireland Schools Quiz run by credit union volunteers is a good example of what we mean by community commitment. This in an important initiative for the credit union movement as it helps us to educate young people about the value of learning in an open and encouraging environment”.

The Quiz is divided into two sections: Competition A for children up to 11 years and Competition B for children between 11 and 13 years.

Speaking at the launch, Brian O’Driscoll said “The Credit Union Schools Quiz stimulates and encourages young minds to expand their general knowledge as well as teaching young people essential team-working skills”.

Local and regional rounds of the quiz will culminate in the National Final to be held in April next year, where 100 teams of 4 children each will compete for the overall sectional and national titles.
