"Samhlaíonn sé comhlacht a mbeadh air ionadaithe ó chomhlachtaí Tynwald (parlaimint Mhanann) chomh maith leis an Roinn Chomhshaoil, an MNH, an Chomhairle Ealaíon agus comhlachtaí stáit eile." I originally thought it meant "co-existence" until I saw it used as the name of a government department. Department of Co-existence? |

I thought Environment was = timpeallacht. Ní fheicim comhshaol sa bhfoclóir ach 'comhshaolach' = contemporary. |

Bhí a fhios agam faoi "chomhshaolach" cheana féin. Roinn Chomhshaoil = Department of Contemporarity????? B'fhéidir gur focal eile ar "environment" é sin. Imshaol = environment, chomh maith. Hmmmm, co-existence....ecology, b'fhéidir? |

I now have O'Dónaill in front of me. No word 'comhshaol' or similar to be found other than 'comhshaolach' - equally long lived; contemporary. Anybody got an explanation? |

Remember that "comhshaoil" is the genitive of "comhshaol"... |
