It’s Béal na Blá, not Béal na mBláth

THE annual Michael Collins commemoration will come in for particular attention this year because it’s the 90th anniversary, and the Taoiseach will be the orator.

Is it too much to hope then that the media and the participants will use the correct name-form of the place where Collins met his tragic end?

The proper usage is Béal na Blá, not ‘mBláth’.
