Talk:Ag Críost an Síol

Comment on translation
Can't offer you a source, but I'd suggest a better translation would be "Christ's is the seed", rather than "To Christ the seed". The preposition ag primarily means "at" rather than "to" (it's literally "at Christ the seed"), and is the main way Irish expresses possession. --Nicknack009 (talk) 17:08, 7 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Also, "in iothlainn Dé" should be "i n-iothlainn Dé", and means "in the barn of God", not "of Christ". And "líonta Dé" should be "I líonta Dé" ("in the nets of God", not "Christ", as before). --Nicknack009 (talk) 17:15, 7 February 2015 (UTC)


 * An Caighdeán Oifigiúil has mandated "in Vxx" rather than "i n-Vxx" since 1947 (Litriú Na Gaeilge 20.III). jnestorius(talk)

Brigidín Kiersey
I have never heard that story before. It seems unlikely for it to have been written on the death of a 12-year-old girl since it talks about growing up and growing old. The original author of this article would need to say where he/she learned the story, to have any chance of verifying it. Scolaire (talk) 20:16, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Ag Criost and Siol is a poem written...as a memorial card following the death of Brigidín Kiersey, who died, aged 12 in July 1916.

my name is Senan O Kiersey. My grandfather Ciaran was Brigidins sister. She died at 12 and this poem was written for her. My Great Grandfather, Sean Kiersey (aka Sean O Ciarghusa) whose daughter was Bridgin, was also involved with the set up of Ring in County Waterford. I will see if I can get my hands on the original document...and get you a copy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.125.58.130 (talk) 15:38, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
