Talk:Tánaiste
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Article 13 section 1 of Bunreacht na hEireann (The Constitution of Ireland) states that the President appoints the Taoiseach and subsequently, on the advice of the Taoiseach, appoints the members or Ministers of the Government. The Tánaiste is nominated by the Taoiseach as provided for under Article 28 s.6 of the Constitution. The President does not appoint the Tánaiste.
[edit] Tánaistithe: pronunciation?
A useful footnote gives the IPA pronunciation of the singular; but how is the plural, Tánaistithe, pronounced? Suggestion: add the plural form to the existing footnote. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 15:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. I know IPA, but I don't know Irish, so I can't really help with the correct IPA. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will do so, though. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 17:56, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tánaistí - updated plural
According to an anonymous editor Tánaistithe is not standard Irish. Tánaistí is standard according to Niall Ó Dónaill's dictionary (standard dictionary for today's Irish). This checks out, see Vicipéid (The Irish language Wikipedia) at http://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teimpl%C3%A9ad:T%C3%A1naist%C3%AD_na_h%C3%89ireann. They are also other references on the web to support this. I've the article to reflect this. Snappy56 18:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
