English-Irish dictionary to be completed by 2015

Cyberbullying, retweet, and cloud computing — just some of the words we can now say as Gaeilge.

It’s all thanks to the launch of www.focloir.ie — the first major English- Irish dictionary since the publication of Tomás de Bhaldraithe’s dictionary in 1959.

Published by Foras na Gaeilge, some 71 linguists and lexicographers have worked on the dictionary since 2000. It will be completed in 2015.
