Handbook of Irish Terms 
for the use of 
Public Bodies.

Published by order of the
Irish County Councils' General Council.

<L 3>
IN August, 1920, a Committee was appointed by the General
Council of County Councils to fix Irish terms to facilitate the
transaction of public business in Irish.  The present booklet
is the result.  The following is a list of the principal con-
tributors:-  Peadar Mac Fhionnlaoich (Cú Uladh), Risteárd
Ó Foghludha (Fiachra Éilgeach), Piaras Béaslaoi, T.D., Mícheál 
Ó Loingsigh, Liam Ó Rinn, and Pádraig Ó Domhnalláin.
It is only fair to them to say that the delay in publication
is not their fault.  Such delay was due to the fact that
those in charge of the executive side of the work were
hampered by an excess of other activities.

It is intended to revise this publicaiton from time to time
as the opportunity for improvement and extension presents
itself.  Suggestions towards this end will be welcomed and
may be forwarded to the Secretary, Cavendish House, Parnell
Square, Dublin.

Public Bodies are reminded that care should be taken in 
building up composite phrases out of the material here
given.  For example, inaccuracies such as Comhairle na 
mBocht Bhaile Átha Cliath should be avoided.  The correct 
usage is Comhairle na mBocht i mBaile Átha Cliath.  There
is only one safe course in these matters, namely, to consult
local Irish scholars.

It will be observed that blank spaces have been left for 
connotation purposes.
