The new dictionary - produced by Fóras na Gaeilge - contains 1,800 pages, over 30,000 entries, and 1.8 million words in contemporary English and Irish.

Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Chief Editor of the new Concise English-Irish Dictionary Pádraig Ó Mianáin said: "Any dictionary really is meant to reflect life as it is when the dictionary is published. The last dictionary that came out in '59 didn't even contain the word computer. — Foras na Gaeilge October 29, 2020 Mr Ó Mianáin said it had been a challenge to try and translate all the informal common English language words as there was such a gap since the last one, "they couldn't just take the last one and add words to it".
