Gaelic is a funny language, the consonants and vowels don't do the same things you'd expect them to do in English. Seamus is definately "shay-mus." Of course, Siobhan is "Chevon." Who else would guess that Ceilidh could come out "Kaylee." Heck, you'd almost think that Slainte sounded like "Slawn-cha." Oh wait, it does.
But what an incredible coincidence to announce the dog has an Irish name while he's padding about in Northern Ireland with his hand out for money for his library. Why do I expect the dog will be Louis when he's in Paris, Gunter when he's in Berlin. Ivan when he's in Moscow, and so on and so on.
Anyway, slainte mhath.
