dear users

i ask for the assistance because i know nothing of Irish gaelic, more than that i an visually impaired and that makes the reading and writing very difficult. if some one can help with the translation all i can offer is gratitude.

sincerely yours

Just to check: Are you sure you want Irish? Not Gaelic (Scottish Gaelic)?
