Tá mé ag déanamh iontas ar an nath seo as Chonamara.

An 'í' ag an deireadh- an é sin roilig den réamhfhocal?

Would it be 'is mór an trua é/í go bhfuil', normally, but that in Conamara it is always just 'truaí' and you don't need then to follow up with a pronoun because of the í being there?

In other dialects would you say 'is mór an trua é go bhfuil'... or would you just not need the pronoun EVER?

(Hope that makes sense!)

It's not a pronoun, just another pronunciation.

Níl gá leis an forainm, pé scéal é.

go raibh maith agat aonghus.. so bíonn an réamhfhocal roghnach tar éis 'is mór an trua..' ach níl gá leis, ab ea?
