Well, the context must give the meaning. Maybe it means "it must have been really far gone" in context.

I don't know the context.
But dictionaries have "to be dreadful", "to be bad news", "to be a torment", to be the limit" for "an diabhail a bheith ort", so rather something like being a devil or being possessed by the devil.

So, here maybe: "He must be totally dreadful"

Thank you both

bhí deacaireacht agam comhrá as Béarla mar ná raibh taithí ná puinn eolais agam uirthi 'it was hard for me to speak in English because I had no experience or knowledge of it', here the feminine prepositional pronoun uirthi is used as the antecedent for Béarla, which is normally a masculine noun. Maybe it is feminine in this speaker's sub-dialect? Or maybe there's another reason for it being replaced by a feminine pronoun?

Teanga is feminine, and so maybe Béarla can be referred to as í because it is a language?

Thank you. That's what I thought at first as well

The meaning here is the same as dar an bportús, etc
