I'm going to this event in An Rinn on Friday. If anyone else is thinking about attending, feel free to give me a PM. The same crowd will also be in the Seven Oaks Hotel in Carlow this Sunday.

Actually, it would be thuas. Thíos is "up north" in Irish, and thuas is "down south" - the opposite of English.

Traditionally in Connacht (see Learning Irish) and in the Caighdeán Oifigiúil (see FGB thuas 2.)

Thuas is gCúige Mumhan "Down south in Munster"

Really??? That seems very anusual since thíos comes from síos- thíos ansan (down there), thuas comes from suas- thuas ansan up there.

Since Munster is down- I would have said thíos i gCúige Mumhan agus thuas i gCúige Uladh

Munster is south. But Munster is only "down" in English.

If there is a physical rise or fall in local topography, thuas is "up" and thíos is "down", but as far as the compass directions are concerned, síos/thíos is traditionally used instead of ó thuaidh and suas/thíos instead of ó dheas.

The Iorras Aithneach study also has a section on it, 8.189, with the following example:

thugadar SÍOS go Dún na nGall ... "They went up to Donegal" literally "down to Donegal"

Great night, 3 languages in one place, and a great trad session in Moonies afterwards. I was surprised that I could pick up on bits and pieces of the Scots Gaelic, since this was my first time to ever be exposed to the language.

Did any of the locals sing? Ciarán Ó Gealbháin or Áine Ó Ceallaigh?
