How It Works
Cé go introduces a concessive clause: Cé go bhfuil sé fuar, rachaidh mé amach. The following verb follows dependent-clause rules.
Cé go introduces an acknowledged circumstance that does not prevent the main event. Its verb follows the dependent construction. Contrast an assertion with an imagined condition: Cé go bhfuil sé fuar accepts that it is cold, whereas an if clause need not assert it.
