    Hi,

    My grandmother keeps saying "sin a bhfuil go léir agus go n-eirí an t-adh leat".

    I'm sure the last part means something like good luck?

    Thanks. :pac:

    Google translate* gives...
    That is all encumbrances and that the luck to you

    I suppose one English equivalent would be "may all your troubles be little ones"

    *my Irish isn't that good...

    It's probably mo léir he's saying, an expression to show regret.

    Mo léir = alas
    Léan is léir ort - that you might have sorrow and woe .... basically - bad cess to you!
