## Content

This is the **public split**: 200 questions per topic (1400 total). 50 per topic are held back
to keep the benchmark from being fully public. Rows are shuffled and carry no card number, so the
original answer-sheet layout can't be reconstructed.

## Fields

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| `id` | row number (1–1400) |
| `category` | topic: Spórt, Ceol, Tíreolaíocht, Éire, Scannáin, Polaitaíocht, Seanfhocail |
| `question` | the question, in Irish |
| `answer` | the short answer |

Seanfhocail questions are proverbs with a blank (`____`) to fill in.
