In my younger years I was strongly influenced by Labour Unionists and took to signing my notes and letters by turns in either English Bread and Roses or French, Pain et des Roses. I read a lot about the struggles of the Labour Movement in Ireland, but just realized I've not come across the slogan as spoken in Irish.

Please, do me the favor of sorting out the correct translation, as it would be said in contemporary Irish.

As always you have my thanks.

Thank you.
I wish the forum had a vocoder plugin for different languages. It would be awesome to click and hear the correct pronounciation of a word, as spoken in different regions. There is an English/ Irish dictionary with a script for that I hope to experiment with when I have more time

You can put all three words in here for pronunciation:
https://www.teanglann.ie/en/fuaim/arán
https://www.teanglann.ie/en/fuaim/agus

https://www.teanglann.ie/en/fuaim/rós
The plural of rós is more often rósanna or rósannaí in GC
But rósaí isn't wrong at all.
For pronunciation just add /uhnnuh/ in Standard Irish or /uhnnee/ in GC for -anna(í) or /ee/ for -aí

I'd say "rósannaí" in GC, the plural ending -anna, afaik, only exists in Munster and Standard Irish...

Yes, that's true.
In Mayo, at least, -í is lost before adjectives: na rósannaí, but na rósanna dearga
