The Brazilians who live in Gort may not realise that the word "Brazil" is an Irish word.

In ancient Irish legend Hy-Brazil was a mysterious island beyond the western horizon.

http://www.brazilbrazil.com/braznam.html

Quote:

"According to the Irish legend, Brazil was a mystical island with fabulous cities covered in gold. A real paradise. The trouble was that it was either always covered in mist or it would only appear above the waters every seven years."

I searched for it myself self but I only discovered Iceland and America.
