I Googled how to use iontach in a sentence, and found the perfect example. But it does make me want to crack open my Learning Irish book and tapes again. :)
Born, like other comic book characters, out of an otherwise trivial but life-changing animal bite, the Rabid Librarian seeks out strange, useless facts, raves about real and perceived injustices, and seeks to meet her greatest challenge of all--her own life.

LISTEN: Ed Sheeran Records ‘Thinking Out Loud’ in Irish
LISTEN: Ed Sheeran Records ‘Thinking Out Loud’ in Irish
Here’s a lovely pre-Christmas treat for any fans of Ed Sheeran who speak Irish (or Gaeilge, if you’d prefer).
Ed has recorded a special Irish language version of “Thinking Out Loud” as part of a special CD that will be distributed free to Irish schoolchildren in the new year. “Ag Smaoineamh Os Ard” will be the lead single from CEOL 2016, a compilation of Irish language songs from Kodaline, The Coronas and others.
It’s all been organised by the Irish radio station RTE 2fm, and this clip from The Eoghan McDermott show explains exactly how Ed came to be involved, and the lengths he went to in order to phonetically sing the translated words, without anyone offering help or pronunciation advice (the actual singing kicks in around the four-minute mark).
