Some of them come in French too! I don't mind though I like pushing buttons.

Tóin go béal. :pac:

I wait for other people to use the ATM, then press the As Gaeilge button.

And check their PIN.

"Nil aon airgead agat" isn't that hard to understand.

It's what Dev would have wanted.

Yes i noticed this the other day, made me curious to see how big a Chinese ATM machine is.

burgess1 · 20-11-2008 04:27PM

Irish has been available on ATMs for years.

mike65 · 20-11-2008 04:33PM

Maybe in the Gaeltacht but yesterday was the first time I'd been confronted by this example of needless pandering to linguistic minorities.

Mike

Tbh there's more justification in making them Polish

toiletduck · 20-11-2008 04:39PM

We've had them in Galway for year (BOI mainly).

vodkadub · 20-11-2008 05:05PM

What bank? I work with ATMs

delta_bravo · 20-11-2008 05:09PM

Bank of Ireland have always had the option

How arrogant of you.

So it's ok to have it in French, German, Polish but not as Gaeilge?

It's not pandering by the way. Some of us use Gaeilge everyday. It has equality of stature in our constitution so if you don't like it, move back to where you came from.

And for you information, the speaking of Gaeilge isn't confined to areas of An Ghaeltacht.

Careful now.

Down with this sort of thing.

robinph · 20-11-2008 05:35PM

If AIB would just get rid of the daft amounts that they have on the "quick" selection screen for picking how much money you want, but then it changes it's mind and refuses to give you that amount because it's out of the required notes then things would speed up considerably.

Who's idea was it to program it with the options of €39/ €64/ €92.5/ €120.43 * etc as the quick choices but never load it with the right notes? It should be clever enough to only give you the options to pick combinations that it can provide.

*May not be the actual numbers that are shown on the ATM screen.

**** off, you don't have to use it if you don't want to, the option has been on Bank of Ireland machines all over Ireland for years.

The ones at the Bank of Ireland in Terenure in Dublin definitely had an Irish option a few years ago.

twas probably the same person that decided to rename the bus lanes "lana bus".

Kold · 20-11-2008 05:47PM

Those who speak Irish, do you honestly select the Irish button? If so, lol. Keep on striving.

Fratton Fred · 20-11-2008 05:48PM

is it true that Irish speakers are less intelligent, which is why they are given lower pass marks in tests?

biko · 20-11-2008 05:50PM

Maybe they should rename "An Lár" to Burgers, Chips & Shops?
