Dia daoibh an daoine, I have an Irish language question I'm hoping you can help me with (I'm from the North and only did a wee bit at school, so I'm a bit stumped)

A friend of mine has just got his Irish citizenship and I'd like to write him a wee card with a congratulations/ welcome message as gaelige - any ideas for nice things to write in there?

I'm thinking something like "welcome, Irishman", except a bit more poetic

Bunaíodh mainistir ar Sceilg Mhicíl roimh 800 AD. Fuair Naomh Suibne bás ann déanach san ochtú céad. Bhí manaigh a lonnaigh san áit ar feadh timpeall 500 bliain.
Tá coilíneacht puifíní ann agus clocháin déanta ag na manaigh.

The Irish word 'Ancaire' (anchor in English) has its origin in the Norse word 'akkeri'. There's a few of these nautical terms! ⚓️

Our beautiful Irish language is more consistent than English because it has borrowed less from other languages than English - which is like a magpie!

Irish has been influenced by other languages, including Latin, Old Norse, Norman French, and English.

The Irish word 'Bád' (boat in English) has its origin in the Norse word 'Bátr'.

Focail Gaelach as Lochlainnis ó dhúcas: bád. Is teanga álainn í an Ghaeilge ach bhí tionchair inti ó theangacha eile.

I liked this episode a lot, I thought it captured the multi-factored deterioration of the language playing out over a couple of hundred years.

While #AnGortaMór / #IrishFamine is one of the pivotal events behind the collapse of the language, it is far from the only factor

All right! It took a while but I've inserted all of the #irishlanguage subtitles manually into this with the help of friends to help verify some of the #irish - no English translation (yet) because I don't wanna.

What in the name of God is wrong with people who object to bilingual street signs?

If you don't read the #IrishLanguage, that's fine. The #EnglishLanguage sign is still there for you.

In #TheIrishTimes, Newton Emerson denounces "#Belfast’s aggressive signage policy". In reality, the only aggression is from #unionists who want the Irish language off their streets.

#EnoughAlready. Make all signs bilingual

Black and Blue

A striking blue wall on Dykegate Street caught my eye, especially in the bright sunlight that cast a stark shadow across it.

Dingle is located in the heart of the Kerry Gaeltacht, one of Ireland’s officially designated Irish-speaking regions where Irish is the community language. The bilingual street signs throughout the town reflect this status, with the Irish name “Sráid an Daighide” appearing first, followed by the English “Dykegate Street.” The tradition of painting houses in bright colours in Dingle dates back centuries and was originally practical – helping fishermen identify their homes from the sea. Today, these colourful buildings have become one of Dingle’s most distinctive features, with strict planning guidelines ensuring that the tradition continues while maintaining the town’s unique character.

Cathedral Candlelight in Cork

A beautiful brass candle stand in St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Cork. When Helios was on display in the Cathedral, I visited there with Blarney Photography Club and took the opportunity to photograph other parts of the cathedral’s artistic heritage.

The inscription above reads, “Ní mar is toil liomsa, ach mar is toil leatsa”, which roughly translates as, “Not as I will, but as you will”. A reference to the Biblical quote, “Not my will, but thy will be done”.

St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, completed in 1879, is the Church of Ireland cathedral of Cork and is renowned for its French Gothic Revival architecture and exceptional craftsmanship. The cathedral contains numerous examples of fine metalwork, woodcarving, and stained glass, much of it created by Irish artisans.

The Northern Irish band Kneecap are at the center of a controversy after video emerged of a member saying: "The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP" at a gig in November 2023. The Irish-language rap trio formed in 2017, and reached a new audience when a semi-fictionalized film starring Michael Fassbender won a British Academy of Film Award and was shortlisted for an Oscar nomination. Multiple venues have canceled Kneecap's concerts, but the band's manager says that they are victims of a smear campaign because of their outspoken support for Palestine, most recently at the Coachella festival, where they described Israel's military action in Gaza as "U.S.-funded genocide." Here's more from @BBCNews.
