... Riamh nar dhruid o spairn lann.
Translation: ...who never retreated from the clash of spears.
Is that any good?

Its a real Shame no-one uses it anymore - cause as Fenian Says, it is a very nice langauge - for example if I wanted to say,
"Running Fast", the Irish Translation would be: "Ag Rith ar nos na Ghaoithe" - literally it means - running like the wind.
Once the majority of Students finish Secondary school, very few people ever speak it again. I'll soon be starting Speaking it again (after 4 - 5 years) with the new job so I look forward. Will also need to start re-l;earning french again - I love that langauge
They teach you

Falcon, i believe your name directly translated into Irish would be :FI: Seabhac (pronounced Showack)
Not a bad attempt at the 'ole irish for a man from New Orleans
Sorry, M8! Excellence has absolutely NO place in the :FI: Crew! Our priorities may be screwed up, but we have a GREAT time screwing!
