So you're teaching a class basic Irish and you don't know the 32 counties in that language? I done Irish at foundation level and can still tell you that.. Oh dear gaawd.

i want to hand them out a map

I wonder how teachers got by without the internet?

FreudianSlippers

... people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should...

Such a helpful lot. Poor OP.

tvnutz

The teaching forum would have been a better place to post this op!

Clearly she knows the counties in Irish but she wants to either show a map on a projector or hand out copies of a map. Kids will be able to learn better with a visual aid in front of them instead of a list of the counties in irish.

Could you name all the counties of Ireland in English without Google ?

I don't think that's what he's saying at all; a dictionary exists for that purpose, and there are several online. He obviously wants a map in Irish.

OP, that map sensibleken linked to above is quite good. On one side is a map of Ireland; on the other side is a map of the world - both in the Irish. Both are, however, physical maps. I'm still looking for a political map in Irish.

Can you?

I couldn't, but I sure as fook could pop down to the library and get a map. Before the internet. And/or peruse the magical cheat-book that the teachers possess. You know the one. The book in the locked drawer in their desk. The one book to rule them all!

Pity you didn't do English.

OP - why exactly does the map have to have the counties in irish? is it an Irish lesson (in which case fair enough) or is it geography?

ya its an irish lesson

Your English grammar and punctuation are atrocious. I would not hire you as a teacher of any language.

Anyway, to answer your question, here is a map of Ireland and Scotland in Irish and Scottish Gaelic.

"Tí Eoghan" means "Owen's House".

It is "Tír Eoghan", meaning "Owen's Land".

The location of counties is now purely a linguistic exercise...?

OP, to be fair, this is th 21st Century. No one uses maps any more, I would be more inclined to give them each a Tom Tom with Irish language directions!

When did Donegal become Dún na nGall? it was Tír Chonaill in my day!

Actually, it's not that easy to search for a suitable map.
Most of the maps found with those search terms or similar search terms are either blank or as Béarla.

This one is not suitable as it uses the old alphabet:
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KUm00NxS5XQ/TJeoMKyTz5I/AAAAAAAADs0/1j0LZMrDEbk/s1600/IrelandEireMapGaelic.gif

This one does not give the counties of Northern Ireland:
http://europa.eu/abc/maps/members/ireland_en.htm

These two are not the type of maps required:
http://www.gaelicabc.com/maps-in-irish
http://www.bartholomewmaps.com/gaelic/test_mapping_150px.asp?pid=1275&id=map&xcoord=1650&ycoord=2850&xreal=1350&yreal=3750&idx=277653#demo

This one is excellent, and I think it may have been specially made for this thread. It's exactly what is needed:
http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x480/YoureATowel/Irish.jpg

This interactive map is also very useful if you have an electronic whiteboard or a computer:
http://scoilnet.magicstudio.co.uk/interactive/view/10690?from=library&return_to=%2Frepository%2Fbrowse%3Fcopyright_holder%3DMartina%2BHearne%26page%3D3
You can click on any county to see the spelling (in both forms, e.g. "Gaillimh" and "Contae na Gaillimhe") and hear the pronunciation.

I think it was about the same time that Kingstown became Dun Laoighre.
