Heard this expression on R na G this morning - " an bhfuil aon cur (cuir?)amach uirthi?" they were discussing poems/poetry on Blas.
Would this mean "do you know anything about her?"

I wonder was it "In bhfuil aon cur amach agat uirthi?. "Do you know anything about her/it?" I think it's originally a Munster construction.
You have to be a bit careful with this one. "Ag cur amach" can also mean "vomiting, puking". |

it can also mean "does she spend anything", according to Ó Dónaill. |
