Dot over a letter (older Irish) means the letter is followed by a "h".
Similar thing to the German umlaut (double dots over a letter means followed by an "e", e.g. München = Muenchen (Munich))
What confused me was the first G did not have that mark but the second did - I've never noticed it before and the only similar mark I've seen was a fada
Well according to the new site the section on pay only has Cadets and Officers receiving Patrol Duty Allowance . Plus Naval Ratings are 2 and 3 star Privates .
Very different - when I first came across it I thought the was a browser issue. Looks good though.
As an aside whats the origin/purpose of the dot over the g on the crest oglaig (oglaigh) .... I'm sure its been there all the time but I never noticed it before?
