 until half past two. And you may have noticed some of the signage on businesses in there to Kenny has gone bilingual. And one of them being the quiet moment because they also have up and to Bommacher Cure. And we're going to find out a little bit more about that translation in just a second because Bommacher I think is is unique to Donegal, but I'll find out in just a second. But there's lots of businesses using the Koopla Focal and the likes of the quiet moment are encouraging others to follow suit. And Barby Cahill from Linear Liter Canon is with me now. And Barbara, you know, tasked with spreading the word about embracing the language and about using the Koopla Focal in businesses in particular. But because I suppose they show us they give us an example and you look up and you see a sign in Irish you're thinking, you know, you're feeling a wee bit guilty that you don't maybe know a bit more. Well, yeah, I mean, and it's not about making people feel guilty, but it's about that nice buzz that people feel when they see signage up in Irish. Because the research would suggest that people, even if they don't have a lot of Irish themselves, are very positively disposed towards Irish and they like seeing it up. And I mean, we put whenever Brendan and Sharon put up the signage and Bometcha Cuen, I took a photograph, I put it up on social media on our social media and it went wild. And people were so positive because people were delighted to see it. They were delighted to see it in the Irish. The signage is really good. It's really clear. But as well, as you said, it's that word Bometcha up here, we talk about Bometcha. We don't use the word nomad. I wouldn't have great Irish, but I recognize that word. I'm familiar with that word. Yes. Yeah. And it really matters to people that it is local. And so lots of people commented about that. So it's a Donegal thing. And I mean, there was one person who was saying that he was always getting slagged for this idea of Bometcha when he was down the country. And he was saying to his pals, right, well, come up here now. It's up on the signage. So people are delighted. And even it's that lift for a business of people saying, well, do you know the next time I'm in town, I'll drop in there. And it's because it makes people feel good. And that's what I would be saying. I mean, I'm the Irish language officer for the town. And I can honestly say to the businesses, if you take this on, you will get that feel good buzz from people because they love seeing it. And I would look at other businesses around the town like Sanjay and Bliss has got lovely new bags. And it's, you know, Irish on the bags, it says be be be glastic a snasta. So dress well, be glastic a snasta. And that's gorgeous. So those you're going to see those bags out and about around the town. And then Claire and Claire clothing, again, she has signage up in Irish. And it's and steal agate and sale agate. So it's like get the style and the life follows that idea of, you know, we're creating who we are with what we were. And it's lovely. And even the Himalayan cafe, like there's three people in there, who are fluent Irish speakers. And they, they wear the two girls who are waitresses will wear the badge that says, you know, Lord Gaeligliom. So loads of people now are going in there specifically because they know that they can speak Irish in there, they can converse in Irish. Yes. And here, who owns the business himself and Judith his wife are in the process of printing out their menus in Irish. So in, in many instances, the case where people have a real graph for Irish and have a good grasp of it, or maybe a graded Irish, and they'll have an affinity to a business that's making an effort. And in other cases, then there'll be, you know, people with just a couple of focal, and they'll be looking at these catchphrases trying to work out what they are. Yes. And again, it's another way of engaging with people. And even if people don't have a lot of Irish, they still like to see it. And it does give them that we nudge to say, you know, I could do something about this, I could learn a wee bit more, I could, you know, try to revive what I've got. Loads of people come into us and say, I have no Irish. I did it for years, but I've no Irish. They do have Irish. They don't have the confidence to use it. And even recognizing words around them helps them to realize they've got more than they thought. Yeah, but like me with Bummacher. Yeah, exactly. And it's so important. And there's, there's actually a bit of help as well. And if you do decide to embrace this and put it up on a sign or do something in your business. Yes, there is a scheme called the Schemt-Hacke-Arch to grow or the business support scheme from First Nigelga. And that will provide up to 50% funding. Now, it's up to a certain limit for for your signage. It's up to 1500 euro. You can do an awful lot. You know, if you're spending 3000 euro on signage and you can get half of that covered, you can do an awful lot. Again, round about the same for your packaging and branding up to 1000 euros help to do a website to make your website bilingual. But even things like if, you know, maybe there's a bar or a cafe or a business that wants to do their staff T shirts in Irish. Again, you could get 50% funding for that. So there are loads of opportunities. And it's not an arduous process. We can help out with that. But it's very straightforward. I've filled in a lot of First Nigelga forms that are an awful lot more complicated than this one. This one is easy. And they're very good. They're very efficient. The turnaround is very quick. And it's a nice thing to do because it's not like your your show. In fact, in some of these businesses, I would imagine that, you know, the owners might not speak Irish, might not be fluent in Irish, but it's not like you're shoving Irish down somebody's throat. It's just maybe introducing people to Irish or show or showing customers that you care. That's it. That's it. And I mean, if you look at the Himalayan cafe, you know, neither here who's from India or Judith, who I think is Spanish, neither of them speak Irish now Judith is planning to go to classes. But it's not that they speak Irish. It's just that they're open to that idea of what culture, how culture can enrich a business. The reality also is that letter Kenny has been recognized as a geltacht service town, which really is just saying, we have people coming in here from the geltacht. And it's lovely if people come in, and they see the places around them, where there is Irish, their signage up, you know, we do a thing where every month we recognize and bring the mesa. And we would have that in the letter Kenny live, you know, somebody who is, you know, a person working in a local shop who will speak Irish. And it's really important if you walk into somewhere, that if you want to be able to do your business in Irish, that you can actually realize, well, who are the people who speak Irish. So that's something that we're developing at the moment as well. And it is just that feel good factor. There's a lovely buzz about it. And also, I suppose, if you're, you know, coming to the county to go to a geltacht, maybe learn a bit of Irish, or you're you've left a geltacht, and you're, you're heading back home, and you come to letter Kenny, at least, you know that you've not left it behind you. Oh, well, that's that now. You know, and you come to letter Kenny around the main street and you see a sign in Irish or you walk in and somebody greets you in Irish. So it's not like, Oh, well, that was it. And I've left it all behind me. You know that it's all around us. That's it. And that Irish is not just confined to the geltacht. And it's not just confined to the classroom, even for kids here who were at school, for them to see Irish and to hear Irish outside of the classroom is so important. And every day on the streets of letter Kenny, you will hear people speak in Irish. And I would notice far more people now, because I'm inclined to throw in a bit of Irish anyway, how many people will respond? And it might just be with or am I a good or slang that or whatever, but they'll put in something. So there's far more Irish around us than maybe somebody would think. The other thing is tourists who come here from all over the world, love, love that, you know, that sense that the Irish language is alive and that it's something that they can connect with. You know, and actually during the months of August, from one to two in our office up at seven Castle Street, we're going to be having a trad music session every Friday. And it's just a chance for people to call in, listen to a bit of music, have a cup of tea, and maybe speak a bit of Irish or pick up a bit of Irish. Hand it for tourists as well. Absolutely. Where do they go for listening to music, especially during the day? Yeah. All right, then Barbara, if there's a business owner listening in now and wants to find out more, is there a website or somewhere in social media they can go? Well, they can contact us. So our office, yeah, Lienra, L C, punk, I E or dot, sorry, dot I E is our website, but 0860751663 is my number or all this E O L A S at Lienra, L C, punk, I E L I O N R A L C dot I E.
