Fís, fuinneamh, spiorad, spraoi,
b'shin anam Ghearóid, laoch Loch Laoi,
is é a d'fhág lorg ar a phobal beoga -
cuimhneofar go deo ar a chroí mór cróga.

Translink will likely stick "fáilte" up alongside 10 other languages, and continue with "English-only" signage throughout all other displays. An approach that is totally at odds with the European Charter for Regional and Minority Languages, excluding Irish from majority of signs.

Rant beag | A little rant
Seo dhá scéal nuachta a chonaic mé ar maidin. Tá bialanna maithe neamhspleácha ar fud na tíre ag dúnadh. Ní bheidh fágtha ina n-áit ach slabhraí móra. Is gá don rialtas gníomhú #vat9 @RAI_ie @catherinegalway @Farrell_Mairead @SeanKyneGalway

nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how “busy you were”
- how many hours you worked

people will remember:
- Grimm's law
- the Great Vowel Shift
- monophthongization in conditioned environments
- stress on pre-tonic syllables

Is gearr an chuimhne ag an Státaire. Samhradh 1969 theith breis ⁊ 6000 duine foréigean sa tuaisceart. Níl sé greannmhar go bhfuil ar an bpobal céanna teitheadh gach Samhradh le biogóideacht, foréigean ⁊ cos ar bolg á sheachaint. Ach fad is go bhfuilimidne thíos anseo alright...
