Fáilte
Fáilte (Irish pronunciation: [ˈfˠaːl̠ʲtʲə]), Fàilte (Scottish Gaelic: [ˈfaːltʲə]) or Failt (Template:IPA-gv) is a Gaelic word meaning "welcome".[1][lower-alpha 1]
This word appears in the Irish phrase céad míle fáilte (a hundred thousand welcomes) as well as the similar Scottish phrase ceud mìle fàilte and the Manx keead milley failt. It also occurs in the name of Fáilte Ireland and its predecessor organization, Bord Fáilte (Board of Welcome). Fáilte Towers, an RTÉ reality programme broadcast in Ireland in 2008, also incorporates this word in its name.[2][3]
