Can someone please translate this:

Waterford is a city in the Republic of Ireland. It is the primary city of the South East region, and the fifth largest in the country. Founded in 914 AD, by the Vikings, it is Ireland's oldest city.

Thanks

Cathair i bPoblacht na hÉireann is ea Port Láirge
An chathair is tábhachtaí san Oirdeisceart atá inti, agus an cúigiú ceann is mó sa tír.
Bunaíodh ag Lochlannaigh i 914 A.D. í, agus mar sin sí an chathair is sine in Éirinn í.

Wait for proofreading!

Might this be a time to ask the difference between?

Bhunaigh Seán an cumann / Bunaíodh an cumann ag Seán

...or would it be like trying to describe the intricacies between:

They made it / It was made by them

-- Fáilte Roimh Cheartú --

quote:

Bhunaigh Seán an cumann / Bunaíodh an cumann ag Seán

Tá daoine ann a mhaíonn gur drochGhaeilge í an dara habairt. Mar shampla:

"An seanchas gearr,
an seanchas is fearr."

Is dócha gur fíor san.

Bheadh "Bhunaigh na Lochlannaigh i 914 í" níos fearr, ach theastaigh uaim cloí leis an leagan a bhí le n-aistriú.
