Hi just a quick query, my wife got the new Littlewoods Ireland catalog and in the Terms and Conditions which I was looking through I saw the following "All communications will be in the english language", I don't speak a lot of Irish but I resent an English company coming over here and banning it, What is the legal position if anyone decided to write to them in Irish.
P.S. I didn't like their 34.5% APR

A company is not required to carry out business in Irish any more than it's required to carry out business in english.

They probably won't ignore you just because it's in Irish, they will ignore you because they can't understand it.

You don't have to buy from them, find an Irish company and support it.
