Thread Name: Lyr Req: Lovely Derry on the Banks of the Foyle
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lovely Derry on the Banks of the Foyle

I was told in class when I was a young lad in Dublin that the Gaelic for Derry was "Doire Colmcille" Doire=Oak., so the name was The Oak of Colmcille(St, Colmcille) I don't want to start an argument. It's just what I was taught.
