Proverb of the Day
Moladh na máthar cáineadh na hiníne.
The mother's praise is the damning of the daughter.
Explanation:
This has to do with matches and marriages: if the mother is praising her daughter too much, there must be something wrong with her, as her mother is trying to get rid of her. Of course, it could be said anytime someone praises her own children too much.
