    What do you think of the Irish language? lol. Ouisce is ishkah is water, and that’s probably the only word that is spelled closest to how it’s pronounced. I’m just glad the bus lane is labeled “Lana bus”. I figured that one out just before stepping off the curb.

      Hahaha, fair.

      Though, according to Statutory Instrument 113/1993, the Irish and English markings can be used on their own, or in conjunction with each other:

      The problem is that Gaeilge (Gaelic) is the national language and it would simply cost twice the amount to paint Bus Lane underneath Lána Bus and the Irish government is cheap af just like most governments. And lazy.
