SilversleevesX commented on the word RuNR
Pronounced "runner." A creation of my own. From the acronym RNR - "Republic that is Not a Republic"; a description used for the 26 counties of southern Ireland by Tim Pat Coogan in one of his books (I believe it was his biography of Eamon De Valera).

Irish, original (and now official) spelling of Dingle, Co. Kerry , Ireland. It also is the proper name of a town in Co. Offaly, and of another in Co. Sligo (excepting the definite article "An"). Details on the Kerry name-change can be perused here: http://www.dinglename.com/dingle.htm .

You have no definition. Modern Irish usage is "convention." Arthur Griffith's original Sinn Fein party, founded in 1904, popularised this usage of the word, though it has also been used and applied to the annual conventions of Fianna Fail, Fine Gael, and other nationalist and Republican groups. My sources include three Tim Pat Coogan books and personal researches going back to 1989.
