Ah yes, the only Irish sentence you can guarantee everyone in the country knows.

An bhfuil cead agam dul go dtí an leithreas?

I imagine the scene in a noisy Irish pub then total silence and everybody stares at you :)

I couldn't help reading your post in an Irish accent. Perfect

It's common in Ireland.

It's very common in Ireland.

That's the Irish version, as in, "Do not read me mail."

Google translate does a nice job of translating Irish. I was surprised till I realised that it is an official language of the EU.

People of Ireland here...

Can confirm.

I love that Google Translate converts this to "Do It For Ireland"

All irish slang i can think of is in there.

I'm Irish.

Some of these hit hard but I cannot possibly imagine anyone not soaked in Irish culture getting many of them.

The Irish would agree.

Ireland has English as an official language, along with Irish.
