    My Irish has gotten embarrassingly rusty, Just looking for a quick sanity check on

    "Nollaig Shona Duit agus Bliain Mhaith Úr ó {company name}",

    Seems right to me but it's been a long long time since i learned my cúpla focal and i don't want to embarrass myself. So can anyone spot anything wrong?

    Cheers in advance agus Nolliag shona daoibh.

    The usual phrase for Happy New Year is "athbhliain faoi mhaise duit", but the rest is fine. :)

    Cheers mate, or should i say go raibh maith agat. ;)

    I was originally going to go with "athbhliain faoi mhaise duit" but having 2 "daiobh" or "duit" in the same sentence just seemed wrong. Thanks again.

    Fáilte romhat!

    You can just put one duit/daoibh at the end instead of putting it in twice.

    Doh, that makes perfect sense.

    Cheers again, I owe you a e-Pint... soon as they become a thing :P
