A related word, according to my Irish slang source (http://www.loughman.dna.ie/general/4mymofo.html) is "gobdaw", which is reportedly used to mean "a fool, or an idiot". the example they use is "That fella's a right gobdaw".
Perhaps Rubrick can verify this for us ~ and while you're at it, whence "daw"?
