Aistear.ie. New, free database

A new, free, database has been added to the New Databases page and will shortly appear in the catalogue and on the main Databases page.

Aistear.ie: oiliúint san aistriúchán agus sa Ghaeilge = translator and Irish language training database. This site [edited by Dr. Antain Mac Lochlainn, Ionad na dTeangacha, Ollscoil na hÉireann, Má Nuad] is for translators, editors and anyone writing in Irish. Material on the site includes practical exercises in translation and editing, important texts on written Irish, a collection of the most common mistakes, and notes on the more difficult points of grammar and syntax.

Ainm.ie: Free database

A new, free, database has been added to the New Databases page, the catalogue and the main Databases page.

Ainm.ie makes up the third of three websites being developed by Fiontar: i) the online dictionary, focal.ie, a National Terminology Database for Irish, developed by Fiontar, DCU in collaboration with An Coiste Téarmaíochta, Foras na Gaeilge; and ii) logainm.ie, the place-names database of Ireland. All three are free databases.

The content of Ainm.ie is based on that of the nine printed volumes of Beathaisnéis by Diarmuid Breathnach and Máire Ní Mhurchú. There are short biographies of over 1,600 people whose lives were connected to the cultural life of Ireland from 1560 to the present day. The main text of the database is in Irish.
