Sir, - Is the Irish for racecourse really rβsc·rsa and for headquarters really ceannceathr·? I spotted both words on separate signs last week at the Curragh and Garda Headquarters and by any standards they are pathetic. If I was the person responsible for creating new Irish words, I'd think long and hard about tendering my resignβs·na. - Yours, etc.,
