ABSTRACT

The Welsh-language press regularly takes a look over the Irish Sea at political events and developments in the Irish Republic. This short news article from Golwg deals with a political crisis in Dublin, and is a typical example of a relatively undemanding short factual report. Note the use of the ‘default’ verbnoun form of the verb mynnu ‘demand’ where no person is specified – this is best translated into English by a slight paraphrase: ‘Early election demanded in Ireland’, or ‘Demands for an early election in Ireland’.
