It's looks as if confusion has rapidly set in. The question was about a 
new dictionary site:

www.irishdictionary.org

Try asking about the meaning a couple of simple words, such as "ceacht" 
or "cinnte", and you get nothing. Pretty crappy if you ask me - you wonder 
why they bother to go online.

On the other hand, there is the wonderful:

www.irishdictionary.ie

which gives meanings and umpteen hits of your searchstring in context - 
just try the same two words, and you will see the difference.
