A student of mine was being wished luck in his Oral Irish exam. He got a text saying something like:
Go raibh rath Pheadair ar do líonta agus maidí rámha gan ascar agat.

I reckon it's something to do with St Peter being successful with fishing nets. I don't have a dictionary at present to check ascar . Has anyone heard this phrase?

Thanks.

Wingléacht give two meanings -
1 to fall, as from a horse
2 in ascar - entangled; caught

GRMA a Bhríd. Looks like a really nice phrase: May you have the success of St Peter with your fishing (nets) and may your oars never become mixed up (entangled).

Tá fáilte romhat. It is indeed a nice phrase. Don't get entangled in seaweed etc.

Though it is clearly the meaning of "entanglement" here, on land in ascar also means "to get bogged (down)" "to get stuck in a bog".

All in the line (oops) of "May you have a good haul and clear sailing."

Sounds like a really nice phrase. Text the sender of the phrase and ask him/her to join ILF!!
