An ice cream store in Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre is offering a discount to encourage customers to speak Irish.
Conor Sweeney, the owner of Leamhain, said that the idea initially came from Baile Átha Cliath le Gaeilge, a government-run agency that helps to promote the use of Irish in small businesses in Dublin.
Speaking on Newstalk Breakfast this morning, Sweeney said that his grandmother was an Irish teacher her whole life and wanted to promote the language more as an “ode” to her.
