    Is anyone able to translate the following sentence from Irish to English?

    "Creideann an SDLP gur cheart dá gcuirfí an tAcht i bhfeidhm thall i Westminster sa dóigh is go mbeadh cumhachtaí ar leith a bhaineann le Westminster, faoi údarás an Achta, mar shampla cúrsaí craolcháin."

    Thanks :)

    Close, but not quite. Google Translate is still a very poor tool. It doesn't really work on full sentences or recognise words that are mis-spelt.

    Craolachán, I'm sure, is missing a letter. It means "broadcasting".

    I think that instead of the word "dá" it should be "go".
    The SDLP believes that the Act should be ...
    In fact the sentence seems incomplete in Irish.

    Agree that it should be 'go' as opposed to 'dá' - I also think the sentence is incomplete?
