Toy bear talks its way to victory with ‘cúpla focal’

DESPITE not understanding the “cúpla focal” spoken by the world’s first Irish-speaking teddy bear, judges still gave it the gold standard in the British Pre-school Awards.

The teddy bear, simply called BB, is the brainchild of the new children’s toy company, Bábógbaby Limited, based in Moycullen, Co Galway.

The company was established by Adrian Devane, already well known as one of Ireland’s youngest and most-promising film producers.
