Longford's Kevin Mollaghan to feature on The Money List

Longford's Kevin Mollaghan will be in the hot seat on RTÉ's latest quiz show when he will compete on The Money List this weekend.

The primary school principal from Killoe will feature on the Baz Ashmawy fronted game show this Saturday (November 16) 8.35pm on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player.

The Money List is a quiz where two teams of strangers compete for a cash prize by completing a series of lists.

This week's champions face Sandra from Laois and Philip from Kerry for the chance to win €15,000, with the winner going on to face new challengers Jeffrey from Kildare and Kevin from Longford.

The Money List airs across the weekend, on Saturday and Sunday nights each week.

Two teams of complete strangers are challenged to fill in missing answers on a list. The more lists they complete, the more money they win. The lists can be about anything, from ‘Presidents of the USA’ to ‘Madonna Hit Singles’.

The Money List presenter Baz Ashmawy commented: “I’m so excited that The Money List is back! The fact that it’s going to be on every Saturday and Sunday night really adds to the excitement, with up to €30,000 up for grabs each night.

“Once again this season, we have an amazing selection of contestants, lucky strangers from all around the country who have a chance to win some staggering sums of cash. It’s going to be brilliant!”

The first team to win two lists gets to play for €15,000. Every correct answer on the list is a step up the money ladder to that top cash prize. As the champions progress, they can bank their money or keep going, but one wrong answer will lose them everything.

As the winning team progresses on The Money List, if they keep on winning, they can keep on earning until another team of contestants knocks them out.

Kevin is the second Longford person to take to the quiz chair as Daphne Barden, from Clondra featured in the series at the end of last month.
