Dia dhaoibh!

Conas a deireann tú "Ireland has a long history of pilgrims taking the journey to Santiago de Compostella."

"Tá stair fhada de Eireann de oilithrigh ag cur an turas go dtí Santiago de Compostella."?


Tá brón orm.... I know its wrong!

Go raibh maith agaibh!!

Tá stair fhada ag Éire le hoilithrigh ag déanamh turais Santiago de Compostella

is what I'd say. Wait for confirmation/further suggestions.

I don't see anything wrong with the above, except that as far as I am aware it is
Santiago de Compostela with only one "l"
Not sure what they call it in Irish, but in English isn't this pilgrimage usually called the "Way of St. James"? I'm not good with the rules on multiple genitives so I'm not sure how that'd be

I looked up Santiago de Compostela [yes, just one "l"] on Vicipéid, to see what term it uses. The article explains that the town was called "Cathair San Séam" by the Gaels in the Middle Ages: "Ba Cathair San Séam an t-ainm a bhi ag na Gaeil ar an áit sa Mheánaois". However, it refers to the pilgrimage only by its Spanish name, Camino de Santiago, so no help there. One sees turas a lot in Ireland for local pilgrimages, so Gumbi's probably right about that, although maybe something like Slí San Séam would have been used back then.

I don't think "to have a history of" works translated directly into Irish.
What about something like:
Is le fada atá Éireannaigh ag dul ar oilithreacht chun Santiago de Compostela/Chathair San Séam.

like Murchadh said instead of saying "history",
And I think as "Camino de Santiago" is used often when speaking English why not use it in Irish as well. The meaning is understood.

Tá Éireannaigh ag déanamh an Camino de Santiago le fada an lá.

I like that! "le fada an lá"
There is also something satisfying about seeing a language other than English in an Irish sentence hahaha
