Tá an dá cheann ceart dar liom. Déarfainn "faolchú" áfach, agus "ar domhan".

They both look correct to me (including the definite articles).
"Tá" is used with "ar" in superlative sentences of this type:
Tá sé ar an bhfear is mó sa domhan. (He is the biggest man in the world./Is é an fear is mó sa domhan.)
Tá sé ar na fir is mó sa domhan. (He is amongst/one of the biggest men in the world.)


To go off on a tangent here for a minute - "Sí-abhabha"!!! I found to my astonishment it's in "Focal.ie".
I hope whoever came up with this ugly, clumsy-looking "translation" isn't being paid for his efforts :)

Tá mé a' déanamh go bhfuil ''sa domhan'' ceart, chuala mé in amhrán é ó chainteoir dhúchais as Tír Chonaill.

An ionann faolchú agus cú faoil?
Shíl mise gur chiallaigh "faolchú" "wolf" agus "cú faoil" "wolfhound"... bhfuil sin ceart?
