Some of them come in French too! I don't mind though I like pushing buttons.

I wait for other people to use the ATM, then press the As Gaeilge button.

And check their PIN.

Danbo!

"Nil aon airgead agat" isn't that hard to understand.

It's what Dev would have wanted.

Yes i noticed this the other day, made me curious to see how big a Chinese ATM machine is.

Irish has been available on ATMs for years.

mike65

Maybe in the Gaeltacht but yesterday was the first time I'd been confronted by this example of needless pandering to linguistic minorities.

Mike

Tbh there's more justification in making them Polish

We've had them in Galway for year (BOI mainly).

What bank? I work with ATMs

delta_bravo

Bank of Ireland have always had the option

How arrogant of you.

So it's ok to have it in French, German, Polish but not as Gaeilge?

It's not pandering by the way. Some of us use Gaeilge everyday. It has equality of stature in our constitution so if you don't like it, move back to where you came from.

And for you information, the speaking of Gaeilge isn't confined to areas of An Ghaeltacht.

vodkadub- The ATM in question was one of those "generic" jobbies in Centra, dunno who actualy looks after them.

Careful now.

Down with this sort of thing.

If AIB would just get rid of the daft amounts that they have on the "quick" selection screen for picking how much money you want, but then it changes it's mind and refuses to give you that amount because it's out of the required notes then things would speed up considerably.

Who's idea was it to program it with the options of €39/ €64/ €92.5/ €120.43 * etc as the quick choices but never load it with the right notes? It should be clever enough to only give you the options to pick combinations that it can provide.

*May not be the actual numbers that are shown on the ATM screen.

**** off, you don't have to use it if you don't want to, the option has been on Bank of Ireland machines all over Ireland for years.

The ones at the Bank of Ireland in Terenure in Dublin definitely had an Irish option a few years ago.

twas probably the same person that decided to rename the bus lanes "lana bus".

Kold

Those who speak Irish, do you honestly select the Irish button? If so, lol. Keep on striving.

Fratton Fred

is it true that Irish speakers are less intelligent, which is why they are given lower pass marks in tests?

biko

Maybe they should rename "An Lár" to Burgers, Chips & Shops?

That is indeed horsesh*t. Holy crap, you speak a pointless language! Here's a more prestigious course!

False.

Hmmm, you've never seen that option before on an ATM, OP? Were you also stunned when euros came out instead of punts?

mike65

I was stunned when the punt was invented! How dare you

False.

I thought you got more points if you took a leaving cert paper through Irish rather than English.

It is gas though when a new screen gets added to something you use on a regular basis. You are so used to tapping away without thinking.

kevmy

Can't get over the anti-Gaeilge on this thread.

Don't tell the lads in Teach na nGaelt they'll have ye for breakfast.

Look people Irish is one of the two official languages of this country. It says it right there in the constitution so don't be surprised if you come across it from time to time.

Now if it was solely as Gaeilge you would have a right to give out. Otherwise you're just whining

I could have sworn a user got banned from here for replying in Irish. Isn't that why there's an Irish AH?

I'm waiting for the Polish entry!. :pac:

Anyway, language options - so what - if you choose as Gaeilge or English or one of the other options.
It's only supposed to be you reading it!

Ron DMC

I love when closet Gaeilgeoirí climb out of the woodwork to "defend" their beloved tongue. Can't say I've noticed ye as regular posters in TnanG.

And honestly anyone with enough intelligence to speak two languages should be smart enough to realise that economically there is no point for most companies to offer services as Gaeilge. It's a lovely gesture but that's all it is - a gesture.

Very few people (i.e 4) actually speak Irish and don't speak English.

Now I think Irish is completely useless but if people want to have the option to have their ATM in Irish,English,Polish or whatever then they should be able to.

Now as for Dublin bus putting the destinations primarily in Irish, that is just making things confusing and needs to be changed.

One world language is the way to go though.

The ATM thing doesn't bother me particularly, it is sort of pointless. The extra points in the Leaving Cert is a load of boll*cks though.

Avril, this is a forum for english speaking, there are forums dedicated to speaking as Gaelige so use them if you insist on speaking Irish.
