Good on you Mike for this thread but would phonetic spellings accompanying the Irish be a possibility? I'm sure I can make a fair stab at pronouncing 'stampa'. Not so confident about 'dleacht'.
The "dl" is a bit of a ballix but pretty much d'locked stompa.

Watching the TG4 rugby coverage I keep hearing the same two phrases in the commentary, sometimes 50 or more times in a game. I can only render these phonetically but can anyone translate these from phonics to Irish to English.
The phrases sound like:
Coog ee moon
Coog a line
Any help appreciated.

I assume those phrases were from the match last night. Munster and Leinster is the answer.

Never thought of that.
Cuige Laighean and Cuige Mumhan. Province of each. Thanks for that.

Some students here who are taught through the medium of Irish are struggling with home schooling because their parents haven't got a word of it.

Been a while so it’s 3 words today…….. Mo Ghile Mear meaning My Galant Darling/Hero. It’s a song about Bonnie Prince Charlie and has been sung by a good few folk inc. Mary Black and James Last. My favourite is by UCD Choral Scholars. It’s a shame Trinners Choral Society haven’t done a version yet.

The chieftains version (with sting on vocals) on the the long black veil is superb

I've recently been researching my family history. One side is solid Shankhill Rd and the other is solid Albertbridge Rd. It now seems that a few generations back we had some Irish speakers and at least one link to a senior Republican family. So, your one word a week scheme looks like its going to be a big deal for me!

Well let’s go for one more word this week. The RDS is also known as The CRBAC ( pronounced Sirback) and I may be there this Saturday.
And the full spelling is Cumann Rioga Bhaile Atha Cliath ( not too sure how to pronounce it)
