Further generous gestures come from Dowling Butler and Co. (second place) and Arthur Cox & Co. (third place).

Limer ick Quiz The Limerick Quiz took place in J ur y 's Hotel on Thursday 5th April. There were thirty four teams repre- senting all aspects of Limerick Business Life. Whilst the Irish Permanent Building Society was the Na t i onal s pon s o rs in all locations throughout the country, local sponsorship was also exceed- ingly generous. J u r y 's donated the use of their function room free and Pat Enright, Solicitor (William A Lee & Sons) was exceptional once again as Quiz-Master. Bord Telecom and Limerick Corporation tied for

first prize and the Revenue Commissions came a close second. The Westair Helicopter Ride as the individual prize in the raffle was also won by a member of the Revenue. The prizes were pre- sented by the President of the Limerick Bar Association, Margaret O'Connell. We are very grateful to her for coming along. Margaret however appeared a bit uncomfort- able presenting prize money to the Revenue! A most enjoyable evening was had by all with special thanks to the IPBS for its sponsorship.
