Subject: RE: Ban Chnoic Eireann O = ?
The title means "The Fair Hills of Holy Ireland." the last word "Ó" is an old poetic form not used nowadays in everyday speehb, but still found in prayers etc.
Properly spelt:- "Óighe." For those of a linguistic bent, the form is the Genitive Singular Feminine agreeing with "Éireann."
