Help with Gaelic sentence needed

Hi,

I am making a birthday card/voucher for my friend who likes travelling to Ireland. I wanted to include the sentence “Have fun in Ireland!” in Gaelic.

I tried online dictionaries and I got “Spraoi a dhéanamh in Éirinn!”. I’d appreciate if someone could confirm that it is somewhere near the sentence I had in mind.

Thanks!

spraoi a dhéanamh = Have fun
in Éirinn = in Ireland

spraoi a dhéanamh in Éirinn = Have fun in Ireland (I assume).

Edit: This looks the same as what you have, so I guess it is ok.
No real Irish people here?

I only translate Old Irish, sorry.

Go mbainfidh tu ana-shult as an dturas in Eirinn.

this is an official translation, done by an Irish guest who’s at my place now. 100% correct!

...and he just told me that you should call it Irish, only Americans call it ”Gaelic”.
