Does anyone here speak Irish?

[CuriousGeorge]

I was wondering if I could ask you a favor, please?

I have a simple phrase I'd like translated, but I want to make sure I have the for sure correct version.  I did the paid translation thing online (where it's only a few bucks), but my paranoid side wants to make triple sure I have the correct spelling/phrasing, etc., before I get the engraving done (this is for a birthday gift).

Not since school. I could probably tell you if it looks right but unless it's a common or easy phrase, I wouldn't be confident enough for you to get it engraved. There's a few good learning Irish forums who members often help people with translating phrases, so maybe give that a try.

Thanks!  The phrase I'm translating is:  "A drink precedes a story."  The translation I got was:  "Is túisce deoch ná scéal."

Do you by any chance have a link to the Irish forums or can point me in the right direction?  Thanks much for your help.

Actually I don't need to. That's a well known proverb and that's the correct spelling, including the fada's.

Thank you so, so much.  I know it was only a couple bucks, but I'm relieved to know it wasn't for nothing.  Thank you, Nibsey!
