    Just wondering about this, and would really appreciate a definite answer!

    With 'ag glacadh páirt i gcomórtas de chuid an LCG' does the páirt here stay in nominative or does it go into genitive?

    ** I know -as a broad rule- that after a verbal noun the following noun is meant to go into the genitive but something is telling me that when that noun is qualified (páirt i gcomórtas LCG), it stays in nominative instead of genitive**

    So ag glacadh páirte i gcomórtas de chuid an LCG

    or

    ag glacadh páirt i gcomórtas de chuid an LCG

    Ag glacadh páirte i gcomórtas de chuid an LCG is what would be written according to An Caighdeán Oifigiúil but the e would slide into the i in speech.
