“Anseo i Lally Tours, cuirimid seirbhsí turasóireachta ar fáil don tSlí an Atlantaigh Fhiáin. Bíonn an Ghaeilge i gcroílár chuile thart a dheanann muid ó bhunaigh chlann Lally an gnó i 1988. We are taken aback by the reach and exposure the Gradam has granted us. Ba mhaith linn buíochas mór a ghabháil leis an bhfoireann ag Gaillimh le Gaeilge agus le hurraitheoirí an Ghradaim. We are looking forward to continuing to promote an Ghaeilge i gCathair na Gaillimhe.”

“Déanaim comhghairdeas le gach duine a fuair ainmniúchán agus leis na buaiteoirí tráthnóna - is iontach an obair atá ar bun agaibh don Ghaeilge. Trí bhur ngnónna a choinneáil éagsúil, tá Gaillimh coinnithe éagsúil agaibh freisin - agus is iad na tréithe ar leith sin a choinneoidh an chathair seo ina háit den scoth ar fad le cónaí, le bheith ag staidéar nó le bheith ag obair inti nó chun cuairt a thabhairt uirthi.”

“Go raibh maith agat again as an oíche den scoth agus as an obair iontach a dhéanann sibh. It was a stunning evening and we are over the moon with the recognition.We really appreciate all your effort and work, Gaillimh is a very lucky place to have you here.”

“Táimid an-bhródúil as stádas na Gaillimhe mar chathair dhátheangach oifigiúil, agus mar theaghlach, táimid feasach ar gach rud is féidir a dhéanamh chun úsáid na Gaeilge inár ngnó a chur chun cinn. Is cuid ollmhór den obair a dhéanaimid ár stair agus ár n-oidhreacht. Dá bhrí sin, déanann sé ciall ár dteanga dhúchais a úsáid gach áit agus aon uair ar féidir linn. Is breá le muintir na háite an Ghaeilge a fheiceáil.”

“With a number of native Irish speakers on the team and a customer base that also were fluent Irish speakers we wanted to embrace our Irish language. We have experienced huge support from all the team at Gaillimh le Gaeilge. We are very proud to be part of this celebration of our Irish language and we hope to not only continue with this bilingual brand building but to hopefully encourage the business community at large to also embrace and be proud of our language. As a marketeer, you are trained to identify a tone or voice for the company you represent. So many companies spend so much time looking for that unique identifier, when the reality and solution is right under our nose. We are Irish, we have a voice and a tone and we should celebrate our own unique language.”

“We are very proud of Galway’s status as a bilingual city, and we’re dedicated to supporting the Irish language and are undertaking to bring more Irish into the day to day running of our company. We use the Irish language in signage, stationery, on our greeting cards, on our business cards and in advertising. We also provide a discount to drivers to encourage them to use ‘Tascaí’ on their decal signs. We also have developed an App to let our customers know that their driver can provide a service in Irish. We have a number of drivers who are delighted to provide a ‘Seirbhís trí Ghaeilge’ and this is evident from the moment you contact our office or sit into their cars.”
