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!
This may be of some interest Solids:

Many thanks Mervyn. I've come across Turas a few times but I didn't know about this project. I'll most certainly follow it up. :thumleft: :thumleft:
