Slán Abhaile
"Slán abhaile" is an Irish phrase used to bid goodbye to someone who is travelling home. A literal translation is 'Safe Home', which is used in the same way in Hiberno-English. Slán ("safe") is used in many Irish-language farewell formulas; abhaile means "homeward" (roughly pronounced 'slan awalla')
In the Republic of Ireland, "slán abhaile" often appears on town signs on roads leaving a town or village. It is on official signs encouraging drivers to drive safely from town to town.
