    can anyone suggest a translation for 'fighting irish' into Irish?

    Tricky-ish. You can't really use a good direct translation for that: Trodaí Éireann is a possibility (lit. Irish fighters)... Here's a link to an Irish-English dictionary. Try a few different combinations or possibilities.

    Thanks for that. Had a feeling there wasn't a direct translation.

    You can always try asking in the Gaeilge forum?

    Na Trodaí Eireannach(a) would be closer as Eireann just means Ireland, not Irish
    Or Trodaí Gaelach
    Would def check in Gaeilge forum though. My spelling and grammar in Irish are rubbish

    Not to worry, had been thinking about it for best part of a day before the Gaelach part dawned on me!
