    I've been informed that it means "talking", but in a rather condescending manner?

    FGB gives Bladair - to cajole (to persuade someone through flattery)
    ag bladaireacht - act of cajoling
    bladairt could be a dialectical version

    Hi hatrickpatrick

    It can be used in the following context

    Ag bladairt trína thóin = talking through his ass

    bladairt(Corkish)?

    For some reason I think I have heard this before somewhere??
