Why do you want to get a tattoo?

Edit: if you must know then it is pronounced sort of like (but I'm not great at pronouncing words):

tiOK-hig awr law

The "ti" part sounds like the start of "tune" and the "OK" part sounds sort of like the ending of muck. The two should be very quickly together. The "hig" is just fig with a h instead of a f.

It is spelt "Tiocfaidh ár lá" in case you didn't know.

Btw I think the tattoo is a bad idea.

There's only so many times you can see it spray painted on a wall before it gets cheesy. Plus it is a motto of an organisation and period that we have to start leaving behind. Most importantly my girlfriend would kill me.

I seriously doubt anyone in America has even SEEN the phrase before.

I am a firm believer in Irish Nationalism and I believe in a unified Ireland. While the period may have passed, what it stood for hasnt.

Our day will come but not through their ways.

The new IRA thought themselves above the laws of the Oireachtas, I'm not sure what they stood for.

I believe in a unified Ireland by whatever the means.

I wouldn't if the tactics bring us down to the level of the black and tans.

How about Tiocfaidh ar choo choo?

It means our train will come! Popular motto of public transport users everywhere, and not nearly so divisive!



(Actually just in case - budding tatoo sporters everywhere - this is a joke!)

I would think that he wouldn't.

He didnt want to do what he did, but he did what he had to do.

And what he did worked

His tactics were completely different to those of the modern IRA. I don't think he would have supported their tactics.

Maybe, maybe not.
