Gweedore (Irish: Gaoth Dobhair[1]), is an Irish-speaking district located on the Atlantic coast of County Donegal, Ireland. It's also the home of the northwest regional studios of the Irish language radio service RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta,[2] and it is officially the largest Irish-speaking parish in Ireland with a population of around 4,065.[3] Gweedore consists of villages Bunbeg, Derrybeg, Dunlewey, Crolly and Brinlack,[4] and it sits in the shade of Donegal's tallest peak Mount Errigal.
Gaoth refers to an inlet of the sea at the mouth of the Crolly River, (pronounced as Gwee-Door) known as An Ghaoth. It is the boundary between Gweedore to the north and the Rosses to the south. Dobhar is an old Irish word for water. Gaoth Dobhair translates as the aqueous estuary. Source: Wikipedia
