Speaking at the launch today, editor Dr Pdraig Mianin said: The New English-Irish Dictionary has brought Irish-language lexicography into the third millennium in every way.

It contains contemporary Irish and English, and covers every level of language use, from formal to informal, from polite to vulgar, and from written to spoken.

This is Foras na Gaeilges first major dictionary project. The writing of the dictionary began almost 10 years ago, in 2008. We are really proud of this work and once this dictionary is published in book form, we hope to continue with Irish-language lexicography and begin work on Irish-Irish and Irish-English dictionaries.

The number of people accessing the dictionary is increasing year-on-year. In 2016, focloir.ie reached 1.2 million unique users. 28% of those users access the dictionary from countries outside of Ireland, with 12% of them in the United States of America.
