Why 🇮🇪 is missing its military manpower targets. Conor Gallagher is writing in todays @irishtimes.com

Ní chuirfinn aon mhuinín sa chur chuige sin! Nach gceapfá gurbh é easpa cumais míleata na Graonlainne a mheall súil an Trumpaigh an chéad lá riamh, i measc rudaí eile.

Tá sé thar am go dtógfaí arm, aerfhórsa agus cabhlach a mbeadh sé de chumas acu Éire a chosaint - níor mhaith linn a bheith sáite idir Farage agus Trump/Vance/MAGA faoi cheann cúpla bliain!

Súil agam nach bhfuil i gceist acu ach sin, ach is ábhar iontais dom an tagairt sin, dá laghad sloinnte a scríobhadh i nGaeilge sna foinsí a ceadaíodh. Meas tú céard a rinne siad le malartú Kidney / Duane, Dwan etc?

Meas tú céard is ciall leis seo "To have homogeneity in family names across different data sources, we translate Irish surnames into English and consider the phonetic version of each last name"? Ní luaitear aon údar ar shloinnte na hÉireann san alt.

Enactment of the Primary Language Curriculum: a focus on Irish
