The Mad Hatter's Box is the original – and best! – media questionnaire, which has featured many of the leading lights in Irish society and Irish music )and a few other crazy honchos besides). This fortnight, we asked Caroline Downey, who manages Hozier, to answer the famous 31 questions! Over to you, Caroline!

If you weren’t a human being which animal would you have chosen to be? A black panther – such a beautiful creature.
If you were told that the world was ending tomorrow morning, how would you react/what would you do? Throw one hell of a party for my loved ones and friends – might as well go out with a hangover.
