Linguists start compiling first ever complete dictionary of ancient Celtic More than 1,000 words used as far back as 325BC to be collected for insight into past linguistic landscape

"These disparate sources have never before been brought together in a way that offers such an insight into the nature of Celtic languages spoken in these islands at the dawn of the historical period."

'Conchúr Ó Giollagáin argues that policies promoting minority languages require a significant change of direction, with greater focus placed on consolidating linguistic strongholds, areas where speaker communities are most concentrated.'

An Caighdeán Oifigiúil: Chapter 11: Relative Clauses (pp. 203-218) - IrishLanguage.ie 11.1.1 A conjunction called the 'relative particle' (affirmative: a, ar; negative: nach, nár) to connect a main clause and a relative subordinate clause to

We are delighted to announce that all 11 chapters of An Caighdeán Oifigiúil have been translated.

We hope that it will be useful to both language learners and those who are simply interested in having a reference tool.

B'fhéidir ach ní hé sin an chiall a bhain mé as 'This is a heritage voice preserving traditional Irish pronunciation.'

I'm voting for her because she seemed supportive of the recommendations made in Beartas Úr na nGael & the Staidéar Cuimsitheach Teangeolaíoch 2007, being the only politician who raised the case of the latter multiple times in the Dáil even after the gvnmt ignored it in favour of their '20 yr plan'

We can cover the three major dialects. Though we're not as quick as other translators, as we have other roles, we create careful, thoughtful localisations:

@bitheolaidhe.bsky.social Ulster
@davissandefur.bsky.social Connacht
Seaghán Ó Modhráin ┐ Brian Walshe: Munster
Me: PM ┐ core translations

A true superteam, often when I hear of translation projects to Irish I am doubtful about the quality but not with these guys. With expertise in both the written standard and all three major dialects, for translation or consultation for your game they are worth it.

This is a very reasonable position. My issue with the proposed amendment is that it removes the UN part of the lock outright without anything replacing it and raises the number of soldiers government can send abroad without any Dáil approval, this is a direction that I am not at ease with

Yes, I would certainly like more than just Dáil approval, be that from a UN General Assembly (rather than a UN Security Council of the world's imperial powers) or a European Parliament. Perhaps approval from the President also!

I do have concerns about getting rid of it without anything else though

Mícheál Martin is right to say that as things stand at least, the triple lock works against our ability to act independently. In such a referendum I could very well vote in favour of amending it, provided it's only the UN security veto part of it that was specified

Triple lock is an issue I'm personally on the fence about, but it was always clear that she was concerned about the misuse of the veto by the US in particular and by Russia so I don't think it's fair to say outright that she supports it. She supports reform and the original purpose of the UN.

It's not hard to find Connolly on record criticising misuse of the veto & calling for a strengthening of UN structures.

You could argue that isn't likely to happen & therefore we should amend the lock, but to claim Connolly's position is that she supports the current situation is reductive.

YouTube video by VideoParliament Ireland Deputy Catherine Connolly- speech from 26 Mar 2025

She does not support that, she wants the UN to be reformed to make it more suitable for the modern world so that the triple lock would serve the purpose for which it was put in place correctly, and she feels the triple lock is an issue that would need a referendum to be changed.

Sea deirtear mar sin é :)

Of course, it must be acknowledged that O'Connell's thinking has continued to evolve since his death. In 2016, for example, he surprised many by associating himself with the 1916 rising:

'Teanga mionlaithe' is dócha, le béim a chur ar an fhíric gur deineadh 'mionlú' uirthi. Ach níl locht agam ar 'mionteanga', 'teanga neamhfhorleathan' nó 'teanga mhionlaigh' ach oiread

(Ar ndóigh is 'teanga' í pé scéal é, ach teanga atá mionlaithe leis!)
