Seachtain na Gaeilge at Bewley's Hotels

Fully Irish, family-owned hotel group, Bewley’s Hotels, supporting Seachtain na Gaeilge

4 – 17 March 2013

 Irish, family owned hotel group Bewley’s Hotels have been announced as the official hotel partner for Seachtain na Gaeilge which takes place from 4 – 17 March.

 The group’s four Dublin hotels in Ballsbridge, Leopardstown, Newlands Cross and Dublin Airport will all be supporting Seachtain na Gaeilge by encouraging their staff to use the ‘cúpla focail’ in their daily dealings with guests. All guests arriving at the hotels will be greeted with a great big ‘Céad míle fáilte’, and staff will assist all interested guests in learning some key Irish phrases.

 The set menus and the early bird menus in the Brasserie restaurant in each hotel will be translated into Irish for the two weeks, with some helpful Irish phrases printed on them, so all guests will get a chance to try their hand at ordering ‘as Gaeilge’. The Brasserie restaurants in Bewley’s Hotels already support Irish by ordering from Irish businesses and local suppliers where possible. They are committed to providing choices for diners increasingly concerned with where their food comes from and how it impacts on the environment and their very popular 100% Fully Irish Breakfast features only 100% traceable Irish produce.

 Seachtain na Gaeilge will be running from 4 - 17 March with Irish language events taking place all around Ireland and further afield for its duration! It’s a celebration of our Irish language and culture and whether you are a fluent speaker, a first time learner, young or old, you can take part & enjoy the language! Full list of events on www.snag.ie!

 Bewley’s Hotel Group is part of Moran & Bewley’s hotel group, Ireland’s largest group of independently owned and operated hotels with properties in Dublin, London, Cork, Manchester and Leeds. Each of the hotels is conveniently located for speedy access to city centres, airports, plus major cultural and tourist attractions, which makes a Moran & Bewley’s Hotels the perfect choice for those travelling for business or pleasure.

5. Marion Dunne

 I ran up the door
I opened the stairs
I said my pyjamas
And put on my prayers
Turned out the bed
Jumped into the light
All because you kissed me goodnight

6. Mary Theresa O Sullivan

Roses may say ' I love you'
with a romantic, loving touch,
but even in their beauty
can never show how much
So please remember Valentine,
that the love I send your way,
unlike a tender rose
lasts forever and a day.
Happy Valentine's.

7. Michelle Long

If I were a key, I would lock you;
If lightning, then I would shock you;
If I were a pier I would dock you;
If I had a band I would rock you.
If I were a spoon, I would feed you;
If I were a house, I would deed you;
On Valentine’s Day, I must plead you,
Valentine, I really need you!

8. Colin Stone

You know you are my sweet
And you really deserve a treat
My darling Valentine
Say you'll always be mine
Or I wont bring you to Bewleys for someting to eat!

9. Paul Gildea

There was a young lady named Laura,
who wasn't a great explorer,
but she would come to bewleys with me
for the promise of love and free tea.

February will always be
Thye most romantic month for me
It's when I got engaged you see
Last year it was, in Sin City!

So now there's a wedding to save up for
I fear I may have become a bore
It would be great to treat my hubby-to-be!
To a romantic night thanks to all at Bewleys.
