anyway for accent marks and other diacritical marks in Mudcat contributions it really is best to use the longer method which you will find at this symbol chart
For fuller discussion see the 'fada' in Irish vowelsthread.

I get tired of harping on about this, but we have had some problems with letters not appearing on all screens the way the writer originally posted them. It seems the symbol chart at http://www.bbsinc.com/symbol.html offers the best way to post at Mudcat. When you type you will see & # and numbers, but they will appear as á,é, &&234, í and so on. I can get the síne fada, acute accent simply by pressing ctrl and alt along with the vowel, but after typing out the lyrics in the shorter way I replace these vowels with the ampersand numerical codes before posting. If you are working with a word processing package that has the find and replace function, this isn't too difficult. Sometimes I have to do every vowel manually and then I do makes some errors.
