IRISH Phrases 07 - Notes:
Because of the various dialects in Irish, most of my posts will be in Ulster and Connemara. Pronunciation may vary slightly depending on which dialect you are speaking. The pronunciations you see here are in the Ulster dialect.

For pronunciation, the "r" has a slight roll to it, like in spanish. You roll or thrill the "r's".
