Mo Sgéal Féin has this: Ní raibh aon fhéachaint suas an uair sin ag aoinne de mhuintir na h-Éireann ach an talamh.

I know that féachaint suas means "prospect", but I can't find it in Ó Dónall's dictionary. Can anyone tell me if this word is still used today, and if so is it in local or general usage? Thanks.

Well, I don't see how that site could help as it doesn't mention "féachaint suas" as "prospect" or anything else.

But sean I'm sure you can appreciate that sean murphy was trying to help..

here is a quote you may find helpful: (it is from the 'réamhrá' to a collection of Mairtin O Direain poems) - (( He was an Aran Islander ))

'D'fhéadfaí a rá gur bhain an Direánach leis an gcéad ghlúin ó aimsir an drochshaoil a raibh oideachas le fáil acu faoin gcóras náisiúnta agus a raibh féachaint suas i ndán dóibh in Éirinn '
