Anyone know the Gaelic translation for Midnight Light ?

Thanks much,

It should be:

Solas an Mheáin Oíche

There's a poem: Cúirt an Mheáin Oíche

There's a poem: Cúirt an Mheáin Oíche

and it's really naughty! It was banned in Ireland up until quite recently!

GRMA Ailill....arís

Amazing that there were enough people who could read it for it to be banned...

Juicy things like that are always read even by those who read bugger all else in the language!

Wasn't there a line about: ag cuimilt a brush. AFAIK, the Irish were quite open-minded and bawdy (as were the English) until the subconscious imperial guilt of Victorian times led to extreme prudery.

That's why people on these islands view continetal Europeans as very "natural" about sexual matters, the whole Victorian thing never happened to them.

true. it was all a total shagfest before the 19th C

Oh they were, of course. From Giraldus Cambrensis on there's a steady stream of complaints and condemnations of Irish sexual licentiousness.

But, throw in the Famine and the "Devotional Revolution," and you get Rome Rule in the bedroom.
