Does anybody know where I can get an unabridged Irish dictionary? I just completed "Learning Irish" and am starting on the suggested reading listed in the back of the book. I've encountered several words on the first page of "An Braon Broghach" that I can't find in my small Irish dictionaries, and I don't want to have to keep coming back here for help. |

There are two dictionaries.
1. Patrick Dinneen's "Gaedhilge agus Béarla". It is printed in old Irish version which has strokes and asperations. An excellent source for old Irish. I have never seen an English/Irish version.
2. "Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla" by Ó Dónaill. Published by An Gúm. An Roinn Oideachais. A good source for modern Irish.
There is an English/Irish version also available from An Gúm
The Dept. of Education on Malborough St, Dublin may be able to help locate where you can get copies. A good book store on Nasseau St, Dublin would be more helpful.
