Blame the English coloniser for the transliterative inaccuracies for their English version of Irish place-names. Spelling native Gaelic/Irish placenames according to how they sounded to early anglo-centric ears was never a good way to go about things. If you're going to invade a country, have the decency to learn the native language.
