Irish in London and Irish words

Flag of Eire (Ireland)

I read that one of the sponsors or oganizers of the St Patrick's Day Parade and events in Trafalgar Square had involved the London Irish Centre, so I looked them up. Their building has a rooftop chapel for hire, dancing, charity activities, comedy, and conversation classes.

On their website, their cafe, disappointingly, did not feature Irish dishes and I did not see an Irish shop. Another website mentioned an Irish shop, so I left a message on the Irish Centre's answering machine which operated in the daytime on a Tuesday, and have not yet received an answer.

However, looking at their website got me started on translating a couple of Irish words, which sent me back to Google Translate and Duolingo.

 Irish - English

 Ciorcal - circle

Comhra - conversation

  Conradh - contract

Na - The

Gaeilge - Irish

English - Irish

Circle - Ciorcal

contract - conradh

conversation - comhra

Irish - Gaeilge

the - na

Meanwhile, I have found some other websites and websites of suppliers reminding me of Irish products.

For example, Guinness, alcholic and non-alcoholic versions. Also some Guinness edible products.

 

Irish brand tea, soda bread. You might also be inspired to look in your local supermarket and to try some DIY soda bread and Irish stew. I went to my local Wetherspoons. You can see my Guinness hat and the decorations in my other posts. 

The main place of pilgrimage for lovers of Guinness is the museum in Ireland which offers a multi-level tour with a panoramic city view from the top floor.
