seanfhocal na seachtaineproverb of the week Tús maith, leath na hoibreA good beginning is half the work Tá cluasa fada ar mhuca beaga.Children hear everything"Little pigs have long ears" Chomh cinnte is atá cluas ar do leiceann."As sure as an ear is on your cheek"

It seems like a lot of the characters in it have had one or both ears lopped off. Hence I am less impressed by this last seanfhocal as an expression of certainty than I would have been at the beginning of the year.]
