I GCÓNAÍ AGUS GO DEO

It looks really odd with the "g" uppercase. Is that done when writing in all caps, or are eclipsing letters always lowercase?

Usually they're small caps in that case. It's certainly allowable to have them all uppercase and all the same size, but you don't see it too often.

i gcónaí agus go deo
I gCónaí Agus Go Deo
I GCÓNAÍ AGUS GO DEO

Ach tá an dúch faighte ag mo dhuine cheana féin, dé réir dealraimh.
