Same era -- but, per my understanding, Percy was innocent of this one.

The Mountains of Mourne(2) The Irish singer / songwriter / comedian Percy French's most famous song, is probably Are Ye Right There, Michael? -- taking the mickey out of the shortcomings of the West Clare Railway. Please name another song of some note, by him.
Kilkenny?(5) Whereabouts in Ireland, are the Marble Arch Caves?
The Mountains of Mourne
Kilkenny?
Ah yes....silly me! I was thinking of the Marble City, which is the nickname for Kilkenny. The Marble Arch caves are in Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh.Afraid not -- they're quite a long way (by Irish standards) from there.

I would be happy to have a go at answering the tie-breaker question but, as I am quite busy preparing to leave for Italy in a couple of days' time, I'm very happy to let @LSWR Cavalier take the floor.'Tis nitpicking I am now -- the Caves are not actually in Enniskillen, but in a remote rural location some 8 or 9 miles south-west of that town; however, answer accepted !
So we now have two contestants each scoring two questions -- @D6130 and @LSWR Cavalier (@perryman just got in first re question 3). @D6130 and @LSWR Cavalier: would the traditional tie-breaker bit, be acceptable to you: one more question to do with Ireland, just for you two; the first of you to answer it, takes the floor?
I see Leicester has moved to Ireland. I missed that on the news !!Extra points for attribution of counties to the provinces: Ulster, Munster, Leicester and Connaught.
I have no idea so I will say 105 miles (and am probably hopelessly out!)
If thus is the thoroughfare I am thinking it is then I will try 15 mikes.
Or even 15 miles
None of these are correct. OhNoAPacer is nearest, but not enough to be awarded the point.Well I know that 8 Mile is in Detroit.
So I'll say 3 miles.
