I need to know the english for Co na Mi as i have to write a letter and have no idea where Co na Mi is?

Co. na Mí = County Meath.

The Irish postal service excepts addresses in both English and Irish, so either of the above versions should be delivered.

Co. is basically the abbreviation for "contae" (county)

Meath as a whole is An Mhí

The U.S.P.S. should do that anois.

I wonder what would happen if you sent a letter to something like,

Séamus Ó Conchúir
23 Sráid Uí Chonnail
Inis
Co. an Chláir
Éire


Would the USPS deliver it, or would the Department of Homeland Security (Sieg Heil!) confiscate it and investigate?

I'm gonna go with answer # a do

I think it mite word, conditions:

a) they don't think it's a terroist plot written in Arabic
b) they bother themselves to look up what Éire means
c) they post it off to Ireland
d) then An Post deliver it

Wait a minute, I'm the only Ó Conchúir living in Inis!! Me thinks.

Lol - but you don't live in O'Connell Street and your name isn't seamus

Nílim cinnte faoina sheoladh, ach tá col ceathrar agam darb ainm sin in Inis. Tá sé ina mhúinteoir ag Coláiste Naomh Flannáin.
