how would one render "The Flying Dutchman" as Gaeilge? An Ollanach ag Eitilt? I'm having trouble turning a verb (to fly) into an adjective like that without the 'ag' (or maybe there is no other way?) |

The term actually refers to the captain, not the ship and is most likely slang for crazy, mad, etc
So, An Ollanach ar mire, perhaps? |
