Right tá sé i bhfad níos cosúil le "gan chonstaic nó gan aon bhac" a rá ná an focal "easy"!! Focal maith é!!

Look at this stained glass crosóg Bhríde we got as a wedding present I'm mad about it

A stained glass Brigid's cross on a white background

The same cross held in front of a window

You can see why it'd stick in your throat if you were from the inner city and everyone and their ma is welcomed into your back garden to enjoy a holiday, a night out, a photo op, whatever, and kept safe all the while, but none of that effort can be found for residents

I'm not in favour of more gardaí as a solution to anything HOWEVER many people in Dublin and especially in the inner city have been asking for that for a long time to no avail.

With this in mind you know I've NEVER seen as many gardaí in town as when the Americans landed for their football match.

Can you imagine!! Trying to tell someone from Árann!! The actual Aran Islands!! That they're using the word éasca wrong, my sweet divine

I do wonder how much of this thing that people talk about - the mythical elitist Irish speakers who don't give learners an inch and are always correcting them - is due to people like this for whom a little bit of knowledge of the language has them feeling they're the fucking Ombudsman for Vocabulary

Saw someone in the comments of a man on Tiktok from Áran try to "correct" his Irish, but yerman from Áran was not wrong, he is simply speaking a canúint that the commenter was not familiar with right. Very ignorant very overconfident, made himself look very silly.
Now with this in mind...

Nice to wake up to see our (mine and @selkies.bsky.social) wee zine pick up an award (bronze still counts) at the @nagbw.bsky.social last night.

Haven't done much beer writing in the past year, so nice to see some of it recognised by what was no doubt an excellent jury
