Talk:Erin go bragh

message: "Well, When I was going to school in Ireland, we were taught it as "Eireann go breá", "
Must have had a very bad teacher! Sounds like 'of Ireland nicely'!
Éirinn is now the most common form in Connacht, and can be heard from natives in Donegal too
I have a 15th century book (copy) Leabhar Fiodhnacha, and it has 'Éirinn go brách' glossed as 'Ireland until doom' —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 159.134.221.3 (talk) 22:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The last sentence in the first paragraph of the section entitled "Origin" is complete rubbish. There is, for one thing, no reference to the phrase "Erin go bragh" in the OED. Nor is there a language known as "Irelandic". The phrase quoted is in fact Icelandic and means "I can eat glass, it doesn't harm me". Curious.

replies: text: I'd love to do it, but I'd have trouble sorting out which "bagbiter" is "brách," which is "bràth," etc. That's what happens when anyone, including children and imbeciles, can edit content. If the OPs are around, they'd have the best chance of doing it. ColmCille 03:07, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  People, please use your brains and the features of wikipedia. You could have undone the whole sh*t right after it happened, but it cannot be done now. I've cleaned up using the diff feature (in the page history) to find out what there was. It was a bit of PITA, though... Torzsmokus (talk) 13:07, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

message: If the phrase isn't used in Ireland proper the article should mention this.  Thanks, Maikel (talk) 16:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure I understand the intent here. As a largely archaic phrase, it is not used in a modern context, but was used - in Ireland - by the United Irishmen as early as 1798, but (unsurprisingly really) was more prominent amongst ex-pat or dispersed Irish in more recent centuries. I'm not sure how this would be noted in the context, therefore unsure how to address based on your note. Guliolopez (talk) 18:30, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A lot of americans use this phrase casually to express some sort of allegiance to or affection for Ireland. Its on a lot of Irish American giftware etc.  But its rarely or never heard of in Ireland, and is associated more with american tourists here than as an actual thing irish people say.  It can be kind of awkward when an american visitor says 'erin go bragh' expecting a big reaction, because everyone really associates it only with american tourists.  We appreciate the sentiment, but theres a bit of a disconnect there.  I think thats what the comment was getting at.  While I assure you this perspective is hugely widespread in Ireland, I have no source that mentions it!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.141.14.30 (talk) 23:59, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Usage in Ireland?

message: Shouldn't it be "Erin go bragh" or "Erin go Bragh" rather than "Erin Go Bragh"? Maikel (talk) 16:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You're probably right. Someone probably created it under this capitalised form because the article originally focused on it's use as "banner" or "motto". Agree however that rename/move might be appropriate. Go ahead if deemed necessary. Guliolopez (talk) 18:30, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I have heard that this phrase is kind of call for United Ireland. Is that true??  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.2.138.24 (talk) 10:39, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: No. The phrase, as the article says, goes back to at least the 18th century. Ireland wasn't partitioned until 1920.  Scolaire (talk) 07:47, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

message: This recent addition might be interesting. But is it really relevant to this topic? Apart from some of the editorial flourishes ("coincidentally", "no doubt", etc), this seems like too much detail for the context. If the boat/events are notable enough, this content should in my opinion be removed to a separate article, and a "there once was a ship named Erin go bragh" summary (re)included here.
