Fair play to ye, promoting the language. Just being bit picky, but...Is there a gaeltacht where maith is pronounced "mot?" You'd never hear that final "t" here in Connemara, but I know there are regional variances. You also seem to have some misplaced seimhus up there, I think. Maybe a more intelligent Irish speaker can back me up or correct me?

from the time I was small, good morning has always been:
Dia dhuit ar maidin
Is that because my Gran was of the North counties?
maidin mhaith seems much simpler to remember

Yes, some unorthodox pronunciations here to be sure.
