Default The next station is Bray Bray

The whole thing with announcing station names in Irish is a joke.

If they are going to bother with the Irish versions of place names (and why not ?) then they could at least translate the announcement also.

Imagine for a second you are up for the day from the depths of some Gaeltacht area and don't have a word of English . . . when the guy says "The next station is Bray (pause) Bre" you would be left wondering whether the place was so good the councillors passed a motion to name it twice or what it was that made yer man say the name twice.
