Do the Rte news presenters pronounce Gardaí correctly?
It's very O'ey
Cloughoge, Killeen, Siobhán, agus araile...there's loads..
Mohill
Elphin
Scramogue
Lough
Connacht
Mullinalaghta
Dún Laoghaire
Oughterard
What a pathetic transliteration though
Uachtar Árd is glorious
Galway city has a few names straight out of the Gaeilge like :
Lough Atalia/Loch an tSáile
Bohermore/Bóthar Mór
Doughiska/ Dubh Uisce
Shantalla/ Sean talamh
Liosbán
Ros cam
and many locals pronounce them as per the Gaeilge
Muid. Raćaıď. (As close to séimhiús as possible - unfortunately nothing goes on the M on my phone)

Crucksbullaghadawn is a hill not far from Manulla in Mayo. Pollatomish in Irish appears to be a rude term, doesn't it?
Pollawaddy is no different.
Moynalty in Meath. Won tidy towns a couple years ago and newcasters couldn't pernounce it properly. Y is silent. Hector on Today FM at time couldn't say it and him a Meath man. In fact he hadn't a clue where it was.
There is no part of Ireland that should be pronouncing caoimhin as cweeva. Dubs do it all the time.
Conal should never be koenal. Conan should never be koenan as koenan the barbarian

Laois. How does that look to English people, I wonder
Clontuskert outside Ballinashloe
All the locals say Cluain Tuaisceart
Skeheenarinky in Tipp
I have yet to hear a non-Irish person pronounce "Ballaghadereen" correctly.

Why not just change the name to Cluain Tuaisceart and be done with bastardised spelling?

Blacklion in Cavan comes from Bealach Laighin, the road to Leinster . It makes more sense in Irish

Definitely. An Blaic it is now. Such a bastardised version the 'official' language on signposts.

It would be even more sense if it said it was the road to Connacht!

I live quite near Blacklion. At a stage during the 90s the signposts read "Learga" (An Leargaidh) and the village was known as Largay in days gone by. I always thought it took the name Blacklion from the Black Lion Inn staging post there. God only knows what "An Blaic" is!
Bealach sounds more plausible
there is a Bealach Laighean/BlackLion in Greystones
Was Cavan always part of Ulster?

Always thought Caoimhe pronounced phonetically as Queeva to be honest. How does the rest of the country pronounce it?

Up North it's usually Kee-va
The blas is different up North
In Throne Kevin is Kyevin , Cara is Cyara
Oisín is pronounced without the fada , like Ocean in Armagh
etc etc
Pádraig also causes troubleand Donnacha. I'm thinking of skysports.

Did you ever try pronouncing Holborn in front of an English person? It is impossible

Yep, plenty of Oh Sheens round lurgan way but who am i to tell people they are pronouncing their child's name wrong :P Cant remember hearing them name much until Oisin McConville destroyed Down in 1999. He's a lot to answer for.
The Queeva pronunciation of Caoimhe always grates on me. Hate it. Sounds awful
