    I could have looked at that for a million years and not got it :p

    I was thinking it was something like 'on any wind' ...isn't 'nos na gaoithe' something to do with wind?

    "Ar aon nos" is more like "at any rate". "Ar nos na gaoithe" is "at the rate of the wind", ie. very fast

    Ar nós na gaoithe= like the wind, in other words, really quickly.

    Rith sé ar nós na gaoithe- he ran very quickly.
