A must read for anybody moving to Ireland. Style of writing is filled with unique Irish sense of humour, that might take time to get used to.

Great insight, lots of fun and a few fascinating facts (such as the 'uisce beatha' that French and Occitan words can be related to).

A dictionary you'll want to read from cover to cover, chuckling along the way!
