> acmhainn.ie and focal.ie cover most lexicographical problems already.

I disagree. Although it is true that focal.ie* serves us well on specialized vocabulary and terminology, there is currently no online dictionary with a good treatment of the general, non-specialized vocabulary of Irish. Eoin deserves credit for (1) recognizing that the gap exists and (2) doing something to fill it.
