The Irish truly have a way with words. "Slán" is an easy word that you can add to your Irish vernacular; practice it when leaving a pub, a shop, you name it! And "Slán Abhaile" you will see on a sign every time you leave a town. It is Ireland's way of telling you to get home safely. :-).

You may come across the word “bia” on a pub window or other various places on your next trip to Ireland. It is the Irish word for food! Remember some pubs only serve drinks, so this is an important word to be aware of. If you are hungry, make sure to keep on the lookout for this word!

Pal is joining us today to help teach you a new word in Irish. "Le do thoil" is the Irish word for please. Give it a lash the next time you are in a pub ordering a pint - end your request with "let do thoil"! Sláinte!
Have you been to Ireland's oldest pub? In 2004 the Guinness Book of World Records issued a certificate to the bar that it was indeed the oldest pub in Ireland! With incredible pints, music 7 nights a week, and the best craic around, it is easy to see why people have been coming here for centuries!
Looking for a fun activity for the whole family? Maybe it is one of those rainy Galway days and you are looking for something interesting to do? Look no further than the Galway Atlantaquaria right on the famous Prom in Salthill. A great activity for visitors of all ages!
This is truly a unique and fascinating experience, and offers great insight to what the Irish went through during the Great Irish Famine. We absolutely recommend a stop in Wexford and booking this experience!
