GRMA, a Bhirn.

In case it's of interest to anyone, the author of this piece is the same gent who wrote An Ghaeilge: Podręcznik do nauki języka irlandzkiego, a very nice coursebook (in Polish) for learning Corca Dhuibhne Irish.

Shouldn't it be called ''An Ghaelainn'' instead ?

Perhaps. But it's a book for beginners -- many of whom don't learn until much later in their studies that the name of the language varies within Ireland from dialect to dialect.

Doyle occasionally uses C.O. spellings in this book, so the title may have simply been another such instance.
