Saoirse has explained it!

Examples:

Teilifís na Gaeilge (since Gaeilge is feminine)

Fear an Phoist (since post is masculine)

and of course it's na for all plural nouns in the genitive (assuming the article is needed at all).

so Lá na nAmadán is plural (as amadán is masculine - as there's another word for an female eejit)

Aye, the Day of The Fools

A female fool is an óinseach

You'll note that there are so many male fools that there is a whole day dedicated to them. Not enough females to warrant even a minute.....!

I just thought that was worth quoting.

And perhaps Wombat or Red would like to repeat it over about twenty threads - I hear that's your speciality.......

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.
