'Abú' would literally mean 'For ever!' as in Ó Dónaill Abú! (O'Donnell for ever!). 'Abú' is commonly used in Ireland as a chant to show support especially in sport. For example, in Gaelic Games the supporters of Meath (a county team in Gaelic games) will hold banners and shout 'An Mhí Abú!'meaning 'to Meath the victory!' or 'up Meath!'. In the sporting context the word 'Abú' is in common use throughout Ireland and is not restricted in its use to the Irish speaking (Gaeltacht) communities.
