Gaelic names please Carvairs

Guys,
I have had a request ot help someone find out what the Gaelic names were that adorned the Aer Lingus Convairs.
The aircraft in question were:
Saint Senan, Saint Jarlath and Saint Albert.
Senan becomes Seanan, Jarlath becomes Iarlaith, or so I am told.

But Albert is a mystery.  'pilot_sad'
Anybody out there got any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Liam

"Albert" translates as "Ailbhe", I think, but Aer Lingus with Convairs...........?'<img'>  Please clarify!

Shorts Finals:
Hehe, I am emabarassed to say, that should read Carvairs!!!
Yup, I am a banana. 'duh'

A decal company in England is in the process of produciing a sheet that will feature the Aer Lingus Carvairs.
Any idea if there is any photo reference to back this up re the gaelic translations??
It would be bloody awful if he went ahead and printed these only to find he was missung something or mis-spelled something.

Thanks again for the help
Liam

As most names have been used on more than one aircraft type, a bit of lateral thinking came up with this Boeing 737 shot.  The name is clearly legible.  The search engine on airliners.net can be used to look for a particular name if the same question arises for other aircraft in the fleet.
