    It is accepted practise in Irish to refer to foreign saints as "San" but to refer to native ones as "Naomh".

    Bhí díospóireacht beag faoi shin sa leathanach litreacha an Irish Times (gliogáil anseo (gá do shuibscríobh)), le tagairt díreach faoi na hainmneacha stopaí an Luas.

    I ngnáthúsáid, aimsítear 'san' do naoimh eachtrachta agus 'naomh' le haghaidh na ceann Éireannach (ach, i ndáiríre, nach raibh as an Breatain Beag Naomh Pádraig?!).

    Ach bhí baint mhór aige le hÉirinn, rud nach raibh ag na naoimh eile leis an réimír 'San' rompu.

    ceist saghas as ábhar anseo. Ach an bhfuil a fhios agaibh faoin dán ag Aontaine Ó Reachtabhra?, agus sa dán déanann sé tagairt chuig Naomh éigin, ní féidir liom a ainm a chuimhneamh, Stephen b'fhéidir?? agus dúirt an Naomh seo go mbeidh na Gaeil "láidir agus bródúil" arís i 2030 nó am rud éigin mar sin, Fuair mé é spéisiúil.

    bhfuil aon eolas agaibh maidir leis seo?
