In the song "Ar Éirinn Ní Neosfainn Ce Hí" what is the meaning of "léirchur"?

do léirchur i gcóir is i gcríoch.

I can't find it in any dictionary.

GRMA.

I see that line translated as "see to her welfare" on another site. If the word is broken up, it could mean "clearly put" which in conjunction with i gcóir would give you "clearly put right" which would work. It's probably poetic though and not really appropriate for daily use!

Fuair mé é seo ag dil.ie

An brí a bhainim as sin gur malairt foirm ar léiriú atá i gceist.

Ar Éirinn ní Neosfainn Cé hÍ
Aréir is mé ag téarnamh um neoin
ar an taobh thall den teora ina mbím
do thaobhnaigh an spéirbhean i m' chomhair
d'fhag taomanach breoite lag sinn.
do ghéilleas dá méin is dá cló
dá bréithre 's dá beol tana binn.
Do léimeas fá dhéin dul 'na comhair
is ar Éirinn ní neosfainn cé hí.

Dá ngéillfeadh an spéirbhean do m' ghlór
agus ráite mo bheoil a bheith fíor
go deimhin duit, go ndéanfainn do ghnó,
do léirchur i gcóir is i gcríoch.

Do léifinn go léir stair do m' stór
is bna mhéin liom í a phógadh ó m' chroí
do bhéarfainn an chraobh di gan ghó,
is ar Éirinn ní neosfainn cé hí.

Is dóigh liomsa gurbh aonad an cuid dearg
I would accomplish your business justly and clearly state it
