An Caighdeán Oifigiúil: Chapter 5: The Verb (pp. 69-106) - IrishLanguage.ie 5.1.1 There are two conjugations of regular verbs.

We're continuing our unofficial English translation of An Caighdeán Oifigiúil (The Official Standard), as there's no official one.

We've remained close to the #Irish, resulting sometimes in clunky language. Chap 1,2,3,4 and 5 available now.

Why do people keep saying that Brexit has left us poorer by £40 billion?

It's not a one-time thing. The loss is every year.

It's like if your salary is permanently £500 lower than it otherwise would have been.

After a year you're down £500, after 2 years £1,000, etc., on where you should be.

Book review: Dafydd Elis-Thomas: Nation Builder by Aled Eirug Desmond Clifford If Plaid Cymru is in government after next year’s election, Dafydd Elis-Thomas will be among those to whom the party owes a debt of gratitude. Plaid was formed a hundred years ago…

‘Dafydd El, as he was universally known, was certainly among the major figures of modern Welsh politics, keeping the cause alive at Westminster during the bleak 1980s and bridging into devolution in the 21st century ✍️Desmond Clifford
