Pictured: BRAVE ROBERT EMMET - IRISH HERO

The radical democrat, member of United Irishmen, was martyred in 1803.



ROBERT EMMET: " ... Let no man write my epitaph ... When my country takes her place among the nations of the earth, then shall my character be vindicated, then may my epitaph be written."

====================================================================

*Tiocfaidh ár lá!

[Tiocfaidh ár lá is an Irish language phrase (IPA pronunciation: ), which translates as 'Our day will come'. It has become the unofficial slogan of the Irish Republican movement, especially embraced by the IRA and Sinn Féin. The phrase was first popularised by Bobby Sands.

A variant is 'Beidh ár lá linn!' which is pronounced "Bay ar law ling" and translates as 'We shall have our day'. Some consider this to be better (that is, more idiomatic) Irish than the more common version.]

*Oglaigh na hEireann [Irish for Irish Republican Army]

*Tá Gráin Agam Ar Thatcher Fós [I Still Hate Thatcher]
