    i fixed it cos you didnt do it right.

    Final fix - Hi, I must teach a class on Monday on Irish counties but can't find a map on-line with all the counties in Irish. Does anyone know where I could find it on-line?

    :D

    Hello Con.
    May I suggest. 'The Anglicized Words of Irish Placenames" by Tom Burnell, Nonsuch publishing.
    It covers everything you need to know.
    Cheers.
