I was hoping someone could help me translate the following phrase. "To the depths of hell" or something similar perhaps "To the lowest pits of hell"
Thank You |

Sorry I can't help with the exact phrase, but if being in the same vicinity would help:
"Bíodh an diabhal acu" = "to hell with them."

Just wondering, I noticed that in the dictionary, "ifreann" doesn't start with a capital letter. Since it's a proper noun (but not that proper of a place to be), I would think it would start with a capital "I."
Is it something idiomatic, and if so, does this happen with other proper places? |
