Bothar na dTreabh: Where is it?

bobbyss · 2014-06-02 12:26:44

Anyone know where Bothar na dTreabh is? I hear it mentioned on the radio and I look at a map and I see Bothar na Mine! Where exactly are these roads and what do both mean in the Queens' English? Thanks

Is 'it' Bothar na dTreabh or Bothar na Mine?
Any idea what they translate as?
Thank you.

Bothar na dTreabh means Tribes Road as far as I know (I'm not Irish)

Bothar na Mine goes roughly north eastwest from the arrow on the map above, up to the Tuam Rd. Ballybrit Ind Est

I thought Threadneedle Road was called Bothar na Mine? Could be wrong...

Officially it's the full length of the 4 lane road between the Headford Rd & Dublin road at Doughiska. GBFM are probably referring to approach to the N6/N17 junction.

Or as my mother calls it, the big new Dublin Road.

The road where GMIT is located is therefore referred to as the old Dublin Road.
