Usage notes
- When referring to a building, eaglais is usually used only of Roman Catholic churches in Ireland; Protestant churches are called teampall. But an Eaglais is ‘the Church’ as an institution regardless of denomination: the Anglican Church of Ireland is called Eaglais na hÉireann in Irish.
