RÉAMHRÁ INTRODUCTION I ngasaitéar seo na hÉireann tá ainmneacha tábhachtacha geografacha faoina gcruth Gaeilge agus faoina gcruth Béarla. Tá an liosta ainmneacha in ord aibítreach de réir an leagain Ghaeilge, ach is féidir é a shortáil in ord aibítreach an leagain Bhéarla chomh maith. Ainmneacha na mórionad agus na mionionad daonra, áiteacha ina bhfuil oifig phoist oifig phoist, nó ina raibh oifig phoist uair éigin le tríocha bliain anuas a bhformhór, atá mar bhonn leis an liosta ainmneacha, mar aon le hainmneacha na bpríomhghnéithe nádúrtha agus saorga agus roinnt ainmneacha eile a bhfuil tábhacht stairiúil nó tábhacht eile ag baint leo. This gazetteer of Ireland lists important geographical names in both their Irish- language and their English-language forms. The list of names is arranged alphabetically according to Irish language form, but it may also be sorted alphabetically according to English language form. The gazetteer consists of the names of major and minor centres of population and districts, places where post offices are situated, or were situated over the past thirty years mostly, along with the names of major natural and artificial features and some other names of historical or other interest.

FOIRM GHINIDEACH AINMNEACHA GAEILGE THE GENITIVE FORM OF IRISH-LANGUAGE NAMES Seachas aicmí a agus b thíos, tugtar foirm ghinideach gach ainm faoi fhoirm an ainmnigh, nó, cuireann g. id. in iúl i ndiaidh an ainmnigh gurb ionann foirm an ghinidigh agus foirm an ainmnigh. Apart from categories a and b below, the genitive form of all names is given beneath the nominative form of the Irish name, or, g. id. is placed after the nominative to indicate that there is no difference in spelling between nominative and genitive: An Annúir (g. na hAnnúire) An Baile Beag (g. an Bhaile Bhig) An Choill Mhór (g. na Coille Móire) An Daoirín (g. id.) a. Ní thugtar ginideach ainm ina bhfuil níos mó ná focal amháin agus nach bhfuil an t-alt ag gabháil roimhe. Ní théann aon athrú foirme ar a leithéid sa tuiseal ginideach seachas séimhiú na túslitreach más consan inséimhithe é. The genitive is not given of a name consisting of more than one word and not preceded by the definite article. It forms the genitive by leniting the initial letter, if it is a lenitable consonant, and no other change is made: Béal an Átha pobal Bhéal an Átha Cloich na Coillte pobal Chloich na Coillte Tóin re Gaoith pobal Thóin re Gaoith Ó Méith pobal Ó Méith Uíbh Eoghain pobal Uíbh Eoghain b. Ní thugtar ach an chéad sampla den tuiseal ginideach i gcás ainmneacha a bhfuil an litriú céanna acu i nGaeilge agus an fhoirm ghinidigh chéanna acu. Only the first example of the genitive case is given of names which have the same spelling in Irish and the same genitive form: An Baile Beag (g. an Bhaile Bhig) An Baile Beag - 3 - Gasaitéar na hÉireann/Gazetteer of Ireland – Gaeilge – Béarla. AIBÍTRIÚ AINMNEACHA GAEILGE ALPHABETIZATION OF IRISH-LANGUAGE NAMES Ní áirítear an t-alt i dtosach ainm nuair a bhíonn aibítriú á dhéanamh agus cuirtear ar chúl an ainm é agus camóg roimhe. Ní thugtar aird ar mhionathruithe litrithe tar éis an ailt i dtosach ainm, mar atá h roimh ghuta nó tar éis consain, t roimh ghuta nó roimh s. Sna samplaí seo a leanas tá cló iodálach ar na litreacha nach bhfuil aird le tabhairt orthu. For the purpose of alphabetization the definite article at the beginning of a name is disregarded and is placed after the name, preceded by a comma. Modification of spelling following the definite article at the beginning of a name is disregarded, viz. h before a vowel or after a consonant, t before a vowel or an s. In the following examples letters to be disregarded for purposes of alphabetization are in italic type: tAbhallort, An (An tAbhallort) hAoraí, Na (Na hAoraí) Chreatalach, An (An Chreatalach) Crosa Beaga, Na (Na Crosa Beaga) tSeanchúirt, An (An tSeanchúirt) Teampall Geal, An (An Teampall Geal) Seachas na heisceachtaí a mhínítear thuas, leantar go dlúth d’ord na litreacha laistigh de gach ainm: Apart from the exceptions explained above, the order of letters throughout each name is followed strictly: Bhanna, An Bánóg Bhánóg, An Bántír Bothailios Botha an Dúin Ainm gan an t-alt roimhe liostaítear é roimh an ainm céanna agus an t-alt ag gabháil leis. Liostaítear ainmneacha ionannacha de réir ord aibítreach na gcontaetha ina bhfuil siad suite. A name not preceded by the definite article is listed before an identical name which is preceded by the article. Identical names are listed according to the alphabetical order of the counties in which they are situated.
