In this lesson we are being very good and are back at saying prayers in Irish. Not only is this a good way to pick up on some Irish grammar points, but sometimes you may attend a church service or funeral and the prayers may be said in Irish and this can help you join in. We’ve already covered The Our Father prayer back in lesson 12. In this particular lesson we are going to learn how to say the The Hail Mary prayer.
