Useful Irish expressions?

Jack_OLantern

Hey guys, I need some help with Irish, I'm pretty bad at it so I'd appreciate some assistance. I only just scraped 41% in the mocks, partly because of my god-awful Aiste.

According to my friend, who does all his subjects in Irish, examiners love Irish expressions like "Bhi an ghrian ag scoilteadh na gloch". Thats the only one I know, but if you know any others, would ya mind schtickin them in the thread along with the translation?

Thanks
