keyboard locale configuration

[Piscium]

I use the Irish keyboard in Gnome, and all is well, including when I
start a terminal.

However if I press CTRL-ALT-Fn to get a console, I get the "wrong"
keys, for example, if I press '\' I get '<'. These are the contents of
my /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file:
KEYTABLE="ie"
MODEL="pc105"
LAYOUT="ie"
KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"

They seem fine to me, however it appears that those settings are not
used by the console.

Googling I found some advice on how to set file
/etc/sysconfig/console, however on my system (Fedora 13) that is
actually a directory, and is empty.

Does anybody know how to set the correct locale for the keyboard for
the console?
