Éire go brách Tiocfaidh ár lá And with the older spelling there would be 'seimhiú' dots over the letters before the "H's" - and the letter 'H' wouldn't be there. |

Eddie a chara, I'm advising you to use 'Éirinn', the dative/locative which has always represented itself well in so many utterances such as the one you gave in your initial post. |

Many thanks for your swift response,I will use "Eirinn go brach agus Tiocfaidh ar la" I will put fadas as you have shown but is it correct to have a capital T after the agus? Sorry to be a pain in the ass but I beter get it right or there will be hell to pay. Just to explain I am from Scotland but me da was an official and there was a bit of a republican send off for him,so it's only right it is marked for eternity. |

... after the agus? A small 't' is correct Eddie. Ádh mór. |

I myself would suggest separating the two phrases. Perhaps: Éirinn go brách. Tiocfaidh ár lá. Or maybe even personalise it a bit: (if your father's name was Seán): Tiocfaidh lá Sheáin |
