An in-depth discussion on the new English–Irish dictionary
A few days after President Michael D. Higgins launched Foras na Gaeilge’s new dictionary, Concise English–Irish Dictionary, Gaelchultúr’s Director of Education, Éamonn Ó Dónaill, conducted a live online interview about the project with two of the dictionary team. The video of this in-depth discussion is still available and well worth watching.
