Actually I think I was wrong; it may be An Doire Collumcille.

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.

Did you also done foundation level English?

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?

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.

um Tí Eoghan is tyrone.

"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!

I assumed Wikipedia has the correct spelling.

Right click on the link above and save to your desktop.

Open the jpg in Microsoft Paint.

Go to File - Page Setup.
Under Paper make sure size is set to A4.
Under Scaling select Fit To 1 by 1 pages.

Go to File - Print Preview.
If it looks OK then press Print.

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

Doesn't matter but we all could get a map in irish by googling 'map of ireland as gaeilge' faster than the OP could post

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:

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.

No it was the "I didnt bother my arse learning Irish. I think I'll teach geography" approach to teaching.

Bring them in this map.

http://www.lonelyplanet.com/maps/pacific/australia/map_of_australia.jpg

Make them aware that there is a distinct possibility that they may end up here when they leave school as our economy will still be screwed when they do. You could bring in a map of the U.K, Canada or the U.S. That'll work just as well.

Gently remind them that they won't need any irish and the language they are speaking now will do them fine.

Rodin · 02-02-2011 02:18AM

Will give it a go.
Easiest by province, will prob struggle with Leinster

Ulster - easy being an Ulsterman
Donegal
Cavan
Monaghan
Derry
Antrim
Down
Armagh
Fermanagh
Tyrone

Connacht
Sligo
Roscommon
Mayo
Galway
Longford

Munster
Cork
Kerry
Tipperary
Limerick
Clare
Waterford

Leinster
Leitrim
Meath
Westmeath
Wexford
Offaly
Louth
Dublin
Wicklow
Kilkenny
Waterford
Laois

Not 100% on leitrim/longford

Yeah. Here we go again.

I can safely say, without a shadow of a doubt that I will never speak that language.
