Hi Jett! Go raibh míle maith agat! (Thanks a million!)

OK - well actually "Go raibh míle maith agat!" means "Thanks a thousand!" - but hey, what's 999,000 between friends? ;-)

Was the press release in Irish too? I found it amusing that in connection with a major Ulster Scots event during the summer everything was written in English ("now that's Irish" - as the expression goes):-)

Hi Cyberscribe,

The full press-release was available to read in both Irish and English. Let me know if you would like a copy.

With regard to Ulster Scots - I'm really not qualified to comment - but some of what I have seen described as Ulster Scots is remarkably intelligible as English. Which is not to denigrate its cultural importance but, since you raised the point, are you sure what you read was "English"?

Best Wishes,
Conn

I'll just say for the record, that even though people in Belfast speak English - I can't understand a word many of them are saying...
