    I don't think there's any Old Irish there, but I'd guess they might have engraved it in the traditional Celtic font.

    "I ndil chuimhne
    Seáin Ó Broin
    A fuair bás ar an 6ú lá
    d'Aibreáin
    1920
    Lucht Chumainn Sinn Féin agus
    Óglaigh na hÉireann Kilcruise
    A thóg."

    In loving memory of Seán Ó Broin, who died on the 6th of April 1920. Erected by the people of the Kilcruise branch of Sinn Féin and Óglaigh na hÉireann (Irish Volunteers/IRA)

    Thanks IO. You got the words I missed. Yes, it must be the traditional Celtic Font.
