To look up a word, simply type the word in the search box and click to find the relevant information in English-Irish Dictionary.

Note that the Caighdeán Oifigiúil/Official Standard was not available in time to be implemented throughout the English-Irish Dictionary at the time of its publication in 1959 and, accordingly, the spelling and grammar of the Irish versions in English-Irish Dictionary are not wholly compliant with the Caighdeán Oifigiúil. Apart from that the original text of the dictionary is faithfully adhered to, other than the correction of some typographical errors. In this online version, the additions and amendments contained in the Appendix have been incorporated into the original dictionary. The English-Irish Dictionary itself was first published in 1959, and an Appendix entitled Terminological Additions and Corrections was subsequently published in 1978. This is a searchable electronic version of de Bhaldraithe’s English-Irish Dictionary.
