The event, in Spillane’s Bar, begins at 8pm sharp and is in aid of Comfort for Chemo and in memory of Linda Lucey Eviston, originally from Curraglass.

Tables of 4 (€40 per table) are invited to come along and test their knowledge to help raise funds for this very worthy cause. Quizmaster on the night will be John (Twin) O’Donoghue, so a great night of fun and prizes are promised.

"The quiz is being held on the week that Linda’s husband Patrick is taking part in the Dublin City Marathon as he continues to raise money in memory of his beautiful wife Linda," one of the organisers, Rosie Healy, said.

Comfort for Chemo are currently fundraising €5 million to build and equip a state-of-the-art purpose built Chemotherapy Unit for the people of Kerry.
