Starting at the Front

I had ‘tosaigh’ filed away in the conversational Irish part of my brain as meaning ‘start’, as in commence something.

I spotted this recently on College Road and was puzzled. Tearma.ie has now confirmed that ‘Doras Tosaigh’ is indeed ‘Front Door’ and that ‘tosaigh’ has a range of alternative uses including initial, forward and opening.

It is a bad day that I do not learn something new…..
