...as an Andersontown News:

Bow Street Mall in Lisburn is refusing to hang an Irish language Christmas banner in the shopping centre – a year after telling the Andersonstown News it would.

Last December we photographed centre manager Les Hopson () with the banner proclaiming a ‘Merry Christmas’ to shoppers in seven different languages including Irish – Nollaig Shona.

The photo was taken after readers of the Andersonstown News contacted the paper to say that they had been shopping in Bow Street Mall in Lisburn and although there were banners displaying Christmas greetings in several languages, there were none in Irish.

GRMA as an scéala a Dháithí.

Is mór an náire a leithéid. B'fhiú do dhaoine a gcuid airgid a chrochadh leo go hionad éigin eile.

Cuirimís cártaí Nollag Gaeilge chun Les Hopson!:

An t-Uas. Les Hopson
Bow Street Mall, Teo.
Sráid an Bhogha
Lios na gCearrbhach, Co. Aontroma
BT28 1AW
Éire

Sin é a Dhaithí, smaoineamh maith.

Tá mo cheann á scríobh agam anois...

“Mind you, in Lisburn's Bow Street Mall you're more likely to see Norwegian in print than Irish since management reneged on a promise from last year to include Irish among the many languages on banners expressing Christmas blessings. Turns out this year, no less than 20 languages are on the banners but no room could be found for An Ghaeilge. Nice blog on that issue here in a language I don't recognise.”

"... Nice blog on that issue here in a language I don't recognise."

Esperanto, isn't it? I don't speak it but (I think) I recognize it when I see it...

Vi estas ĝusta, Abigail!

Tá ceart agat, a Abigail!
