    I need to know my address in Irish (filling in a form)

    I'm in County Cork (not the City)

    Co. Corgaigh
    or
    Co. Chorcaí

    I looked up the websites of Gaelscoileanna in the county to see which version they use it seems that Co. Chorcaí is the one, so where does the other one fit in?

    Corcaigh is the name of the count as in "I was in Cork" Bhí me i gCorcaigh
    Corcaí is the genitive of the word Corcaigh (a tribe as far as i recall) so "the county of Cork is Contae Chorcaí
