Nothing important. It is just the name of the town.
Congratulations on your win.
It is the English spelling that is missing and then sprayed on.
The reason is stupid bureaucracy to do with funding for Gaeltacht areas. Ballina isn't in the Gaeltacht (Irish speaking region) but Belmullet is.
Another example is An Dangean in Kerry which everyone calls Dingle...but there are no signs to Dingle...only to Dangean. So your Dangean Dingles.
Dingle is a huge tourist area......but now no **** knows how to get there because there are no signs to it.

It is alright, they can just bring it back as a new language and pretend it is the same one. It's de rigueur these days.
I think I speak for everyone when I say "Who gives a ****"
Klingon is more popular. FACT
As ever, I am happy to correct you Patrick.
He asked:
The answer was "or somthing" (sic). I elaborated on what that "somthing" (sic) was as the question posed by Trevor invited me to do.
Being the better man, I shall gratefully accept your apology.
Like I said "Is it English or something" is a simple question.
No ONE cares about your reason behind it or the fact that you have to know such boring ****e and tell us about it to come across as Irish.

Back to the youth antics.
At lunchtime we would fill brown paper bags with stuff and hit windows on the way back to school. One of the days I filled one with yogurt, cream etc and put a few small fireworks in it. Put it at someones door, chapped, set a box of matches on fire and chucked it in the bag then bolted. **** opened the door and the bag blew up. He got covered in it all, was all up his walls and in his hall
Never got busted, but shat a brick when the headteacher came in my 1st class after lunch
Another time I hit the librarians car with a snowball when he was driving. He turned round and caught us. Took our (fake) names and told us to be at the library first thing the next morning. Stupid **** who gave the fake names wrote them on a page he ripped out a jotter. His real name was on the other side of the page and he grassed the rest of us in. Nothing happened though because the school couldn't punish us, and they told him not to complain to the police because they didn't want the reputation of the school to be damaged (even more).
