I've received a poster from the Dingle Peninsula that has the following two quotes .
Measaim na fuilaon da seoid is luacmaire na an oije 's an tslainte -Peig Sayers
and
Ni beid ar leiteidi ann aris -Tom OCriomtain
Would someone please translate these for me Thanks so much |

Probably written in Cló Gaelach (i.e. with a dot instead of h)
Measaim ná fuil aon dá sheoid is luachmhaire ná an t-óige 's an tsláinte.
I'm of the opinion that there are no two jewels more valuable than youth and health.
Ní bheidh ár leithéidí ann arís
There won't be anyone like us again.

I think it should be "an óige", since óige is feminine (see: Tír na hÓige).

quote:I think it should be "an óige", since óige is feminine (see: Tír na hÓige). Ó ar ndóigh, tá an ceart agat: Measaim ná fuil aon dá sheoid is luachmhaire ná an óige 's an tsláinte. Lars |

There won't be anyone like us again. This phrase has become something of a slogan or byword for the islanders since the abandonment of the Blaskets in 1953/4 |

It's usually translated into English as
"Our likes will not be seen again." |
