Cork City Council with the support of Cork Chamber, Cork Business Association, and media partner The Echo are encouraging the people of Cork to make Thursday, March 16^th, the day before our St. Patrick’s Day celebrations Lá a Gaeilge by using simple Irish phases and greetings as part of their conversations and actions on the day.

A wallet sized insert is available through Cork City's library network and will be published in The Echo today, giving simple Irish words and phrases together with Irish translation and phonetic spelling to make it easy for all citizens, regardless of whether the Irish language was part of their schooling or not, to join in the activity.
