    Can you ever use the past participle after tar éis instead of the verbal noun?

    For example: Tá feabhas maith tar éis tagtha air.

    Or does it have to be 'tar éis a theacht'?

    For some reason I always go to say 'tagtha'.

    I would say: "Tá feabhas maith tagtha air" and "Tá feabhas maith tar éis teacht air".
