Does this sign has fadas in the wrong place? Missing fada an 'ceathrú' with a fada on 'Rua'. Missing fada on 'Béal'.

Shíl an té a chroch seo nach bhfuil scríobh ná léamh na Gaeilge ag daoine na Gaeltacht, agus mar sin ba cuma leis faoi, seans. I ndáiríre, níl aon fhreagra eile agam. Náire!!!

Anyway, the man who wrote that on the sign cannot spell Irish, sure !

Should be "An Cheathrú Rua" and "Béal an Daingin" of course.

Tír Chonaill abú!

Ouch. I thought that sign was "photoshopped" but apparently not:

And just outside the school, too. (Great place to take classes by the way.)

Anyone know what the font/typeface on the "Acadamh" sign is? Looks pretty neat. The type looks like a roman inscription type with a celtic accent.

Is cosúil a chairde gur daoine eachtrannacha atá ag déanamh na mbotúin seo nuair atá na comharthaí á gcur le chéile.Tá an milleán orthu as an "Slad ar na bóithre" , Ar líonadh isteach an "Daonáireamh 2006" agus is dócha gurb iad atá freagrach as seo fresin.!!!!! Ha! Ha!
