Canúint, a déarfainn, sin an méid. Deirtear "dochtúir ab ea é" i nGaeilge na Mumhan, agus "dochtúir ba ea é" sa Chaighdeán, mura bhfuil dul amú orm. Is ionannn iad agus "dochtúir a bhí ann".

Anyway, as far as I know the structure "PREDICATE + ab/ba ea + SUBJECT" is only used in Munster dialect...

"ab" is used more often, as in:

Múinteoir ab ea é.
