Hi Second Toughest in_the Freshers
Unfortunately I have no Irish whatsoever. That's why I'm asking for help with the gaeilge clues. I'm fine with the others.

I don't speak Irish either but google tells me that "na ceithre cuirteanna" is The Four Courts.

Na Sé Chontae - 'The Six Counties'

There seems to be different spellings of Contaethe

The one I have above is from a Sinn Fein web page

It's from the Holly Bough newspaper published each Christmas by the Cork Evening Echo. I'm afraid that you have to buy it (I don't)

It could also be Na ceithre Cuigi. The four provinces?

To give credit where it's due it was JoCav10 who suggested "The 6 Counties".

I don't speak Irish but I think that The 6 Counties is probably right as it a very commonly used phrase.

Looking at the way Diffney usually put their clues. They would probably say "t 4 P in I" as in "the 4 provinces in Ireland" rather then just "t 4 P"

#56. G on a L 1 C in 18 to 1

It was Christmas Eve, babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
"Won't see another one"
And then he sang a song
'The Rare Old Mountain Dew'
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen-to-one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So, Happy Christmas
I love you, baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

"They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you;
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me Broadway
Was waiting for me

"You were handsome!" "You were pretty
Queen of New York City"
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks, they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

"You're a bum, you're a punk"
"You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead
On a drip in that bed"
"You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy ******
Happy Christmas, your arse
I pray God it's our last"

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas day

"I could have been someone"
"Well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you"
"I kept them with me, babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you"

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas day
