User talk:Colmlinehan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi Colm, welcome to wikipedia. I take it from your name that you are either Irish in Ireland or of Irish descent. It is good see another Irish person around. I am sure Mav or another user will come around with the formal welcome message. (I don't have a copy to hand!). Anyway I hope you enjoy editing wiki, but be warned it can become addictive, with people turning into wikipedolics! (I'm one!). Slan. FearÉIREANN 23:45, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Hi Colm, re Taoiseach. I think the original Irish word meant chief but the modern translation is leader (a bit embarrassing in the 1930s when other words for leader were fuhrer and duce!!!) . I think chief was more directly associated with deV personally than with taoiseach but I'm not going to quibble and the edit is fine with me. Take care. FearÉIREANN 04:07, 24 Aug 2003 (UTC)
