Earwig check came up with nothing except for direct quotes that were cited appropriately ([2]). What an enjoyable quote from the councillor. The quote is in the article and is cited as it should be. Great work here. Nomader (talk) 03:23, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gaeltacht[edit]

I believe this road runs entirely in the Gaeltacht and consequently all the place names are only in Irish. However, I can't find a source for this? Smirkybec (and others), I remember talking about the Gaeltacht when we were in Dublin, do you know where I might be able to find a source? Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 08:41, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
