Hello!

I'm looking for both the standard and old spelling translations of the phrase "Nevertheless, she persisted."

If context would help, it is an excerpt from some current American politics. The full original statement was "She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted."

Thank you so much, and I'll be checking frequently in case I can answer any additional questions.

~Mischief.

One way to say it would be:
Mar sin féin, lean sí ar aghaidh

Nothing wrong with Caomhín's version, but here's another option.

In ainneoin sin, lean sí ar aghaidh
In spite of that, she went ahead/she continued onward

Both are good, but I prefer this one.

More often written Ina ainneoin sin … which I’d prefer.

Is that general, or is it a dialect thing?

It's general.

There's no difference in pronunciation (a in ina is silent before ainneoin). This causes the uncertainty.

But compare with ina dhiaidh sin (not: i ndiaidh sin)
And, of course, it's aige sin, roimhe sin, air sin, leis sin (not: roimh sin, ag sin, ar sin, le sin)
