That was good advice from Dall piobaire (Blind piper, unless his name is Dall?)
Listen to the sounds, thats important. Piping too? I am impressed...One wee thing, a Garda is an Irish Policeman, Poileasman or fear poilis (policeman)
or perhaps oifigear poilis (police officer) is Scottish - the more modern useage is Poileasman - sounds like it looks pole aish man

I really need to attach pronunciations to words more. I can speak things I can't write and write things I can't speak!
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
