    Go n-éirí an bóthar leat. Go raibh an ghaoth i gcónaí ag do chúl. Go lonraí an ghrian go te ar d’aghaidh, go dtite an bháisteach go bog ar do pháirceanna, agus go mbuailimid le chéile arís, go gcoinní Dia i mbos a láimhe thú.

    The Irish blessing: May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
