I've just noticed "Maoinlathas" (Maoinfhlaitheas) has been included in "focal.ie".

Perhaps my complaining e-mail written in my learner's Irish had some effect :)

Is cinnte é. Táid oscailte do mholtaí ciallmhara.

By complain, I hope you mean 'request' :)

They are extremely helpful in Focal.ie, and are very understaffed from what I have been told. I enquired about something and the reply I received from them was unbelievably more detailed than I had expected from them.

Yes, of course.
I initially imagined my e-mail would be ignored - taken as a complaint from some impertinent learner - but I received a quick and polite response from them.

Your Irish is great. No way would they ignore it, unless you'd been narky and rude.

Go raibh maith agat. Deinim mo dhícheall.

No, I tried not to come across that way anyway.
Although there is some groan-inducing stuff to be found on "focal.ie", e.g. "Téic" for "Take" in film/television.

They changed a misspelling for me too!

They probably explain this somewhere on the site, but I don't quite get what they are doing. They include translations from dictionaries/word-lists where there are clear errors. The last time I looked, they also has bonn óir awaiting approval as a translation for 'gold medal'. I wonder what's going on there? I certainly used this term 30 years ago (and possibly more!) in school.
