Chuig Or Go?

Dabhach · 2010-02-15 19:55:31

Ok, everyday I pass the Aer Arann suite of offices in Santry and on the sign outside it says "Fáilte chuig Aer Arann". Shouldn't it be "...go Aer Arann"? If not, any tips on when to use "go" and "chuig"?

Chuig is when you're talking about a certain building or event. Chuig cóisir mar shampla.

Ok, so when Aer Arann says "Fáilte chuig Aer Arann", they're referring to the building or the company? As far as I can work it out, "chuigh" is appropriate in both cases, and indeed, in most cases, and "go" should only rarely be used, such as at an airport when you're entering a country, "Fáilte go hÉireann" or "Fáilte gu hAlba" in Scotland. Have I got that right?
