Correction regarding the Irish translation in this article

I've just signed up after years of use, to correct this but I don't really want to on my first day, so maybe someone else can help.

Ó Laigheanáin, which means "someone from Laighean" is incorrect. Ó means grandson or descendant in Irish. Laigheanáin is the genitive case of Laigheanán. So the name means "Laigheanán's grandson" or "Laigheanán's descendant."
