Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig ar mo mhuintir is ar mo cháirdibh

'Blessing of St Patricks' day to my family and friends'

Lá le Pádraig dom' mhuintir is dom' cháirdibh

'Happy St. Patrick's day to my family and friends'

If you are addressing them directly:

A mhuntir is a cháirde, Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh

A mhuintir is a cháirde, Lá 'le Pádraig daoibh (go léir)

Family is differentiated three ways in Irish:

muintir = extended family/ community of friends
teaghlach = household
clann = chilren

Which one are you looking for?

Cian

:yes: I said it as I was writing but, I forgot to put it in. Even when I was re-reading over it, I said sona in my own head;

Lá 'le Pádraig sona dom' mhuintir ...
