Cumann Uaireadoirí Éireann

Strangely, the word for watch and its maker appears to be the same according to De Bhaldraithe. I've never needed the word for watch maker!

Dar leis m' fhoclóir Collins, is ea "watchmaker" (uatha) "uaireadoirí". Ceapaim ba cheart dó bheith "Cumann Uaireadoirithe Éireann".

According to my Collins dictionary, "watchmaker" (singular) is "uaireadoirí", so I think it should be "Cumann Uaireadoirithe Éireann".

An cheart agat. Ní raibh mé ag tabhairt aird. Tá droch tinneas cinn agam inniu.
Ach go bhfuil fada ann uaireadóirí
