Irish language signs were once a common sight on shopfronts in towns and villages across Kilkenny, but they are an increasingly rare sight, with many a reminder of a shop long since closed.

In purely literal terms, it obviously makes sense as two truisms but there is a deeper context which any aficionado will implicitly understand. It’s all well and good to shoot the lights out in the spring – in a normal year, anyway – but the summer is a different kettle of fish.
