59. Cé ______ ar thug tú an t-airgead?

59. Cé acu ar thug tú an t-airgead?

Hmmm! That would mean Which of them did you give the money? If the word 'to' can be implied here, it certainly can't be in Irish.

What's needed here is the equivalent of: To whom did you give the money?

59. Cé dó ar thug tú an t-airgead?

Just one mistake - mine! It should be Bhí siad... I'm blaming Word autocorrect.

You can also say Tá grá ag Peadar ar Shiobhán.
