Talk:Seamus McMurphy

Séamus Mór Mac Mhurchaidh
This was a fascinating subject but the article left me with questions as well as wanting to know more.

First of all, and my Irish is bad, isn't Mhurchaidh either the female version or the vocative of Murphy, as if you were speaking to him? MacLysaght spells it Murchadha. (I know spellings morphed over time, as with Suemas and Séamas.)

In the quote below, if he spoke that way, was he telling people how to address him? As in, "... that's 'Mr. Mac Murphy, the handsomest man in Ireland' to you, bozo."

"Mise Seumus 'A' Mhurchaidh is deise 'bhfuil in Eirinn (Meet Seumus Mac Murphy, the handsomest man in Ireland)."

The translation didn't make sense to me. ...Was something left out? Is there a source for this quote?

I apologize if I posted this in the wrong place. I followed the links to WikiProject Ireland and they led back here (eventually). Thanks!
