Alternative phrase for condolences

TheUnderfaker

Learning Irish here and I was wondering is there an alternative, non-religious version of "Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam"?

I'm certain I saw someone post a condolence as Gaeilge somewhere that referred to the heroes/warriors that I thought was a great phrase, can't for the life of me find anything like it now though!

There's a fairly common one with religious connotations that could be changed to suit.

"Codladh sámh i measc na naomh is na n-aingeal" or "I measc na n-aingeal is na naomh go raibh ______". (May you rest among the saints and the angels)

"I measc Laochra Calma na n-Gael go raibh a anam dílis" has been used upon the deaths of republicans in particular. (May his soul be among the brave warriors/heroes of Ireland).

Go raibh míle maith agat!

"I measc Laochra Calma na n-Gael go raibh a anam dílis" is what I had read and translated before.

I didn't realize it was linked to Republicanism. I assumed when I read it that it came from Irish mythology or something.

Sláinte!
