Among the activities granting a dispensation from the prohibition on eating meat this Friday during Lent, when Saint Patrick's Day falls this year, is reciting the 'Lorica of Saint Patrick', though presumably not in its original Irish.

Dia dhaoibh, daoine

How do you say "berry" in Irish? Like the delicious little fruits?

I did a bit of Irish at school, but I know very little and this has now come up!

Teanglann’s my favourite app/website for Irish.

There’s also a brilliant book by Úna-Minh Kavanagh which gathers together free resources for Irish. Sounds weird to recommend something that costs money but honestly it’s €15 I’ve never regretted as it has details on the quality/content/focus of those free resources. More info here: weareirish.ie/diygaeilge/

@alistaircoleman I keep seeing speakers here on Mastodon. Probably happened upon one in numerous years on Twitter, but here I barely go a day without seeing someone with somewhere in their bio.

Tonight's Irish phrase is a little bit of a curve ball. I'm imagining a youth hostel maybe?

An bhfuil tú go maith ag leadóige?

Are you good at tennis?

Tonight's phrase from the Irish is

Bhí sé grianmhar

meaning 'it was sunny'

Intentionally ironic because it has rained non-stop all day
