Hi guys,
I am back again,
Looking to have the below translated as it's the centenary of the Easter Rising.
It relates to my great grandfather.
The below text is this;
Here is my great grandfather,
Seen here in 1915, He was another volunteer in the easter Rising for he believed the calling for Irish freedom was greater than soundbites from Redmond.
On those principles he fought and was wounded at Bolands Mills,even though he received wounds that he carried throughout his lifetime,he participated in the war of Independance and the civil war as an Irish patriot.
He refused to take a pension as he believed he did his duty as an Irishman,his conviction was that one day Ireland would stand tall and proud amongst the international community.
Cork Irish or Munster Irish if you guys can,for my shame,my knowledge sucks.
Hi
. I presume you are showing someone a picture?
Seo mo shin-s(h)eanathair, athá le feiscint anso sa mblian 1915 (said: míle naoi gcead is a cúig déag). Ba óglach é le linn Éirí Amach na Cásca toisc gur chreid sé i ngairm na saoirse thar ráiméis* Redmond.
Is dos na luachannaibh so do bhruíon sé agus do g(h)oineag é aige Bolands Mills. Cé gur fhágag goine air nár leigheas choíche, fós do ghlac sé páirt i gCogadh na Saoirse agus i gCogadh na gCarad mar thírghráthóir. Do dhiúltaigh sé an pinsean leis, óir gur chreid sé insna dualgasaibh do bhí air mar Chlainn Ghaeil. Ba mhian leis go seasfadh Éire le mórtas i measc na dtíortha eile ar ló éigin.
*ráiméis might be a tad too strong. It means 'rigmarol', 'nonsensical talk'.
Wait for some more suggestions.
Its difficult to transfer the nuances of one idiom into another.
