Erin go bragh

These soldiers, known as Los San Patricios or Saint Patrick's Battalion, flew as their standard a green flag with a harp and the motto Erin Go Bragh.

[8] In 1862, when a large number of families on the estate of Lord Digby, near Tullamore, County Offaly, were given notice to quit, a local priest, Father Paddy Dunne, arranged passage for 400 people to Australia.

[9] The voyage of the Erin-go-Bragh, a "crazy, leaky tub", took 196 days, the longest recorded passage to Australia.

Founded in 1875 by Edinburgh Irishmen and the local Catholic Church, St Patrick's, the club's shirts included a gold harp set on a green background.

In 1887, a gaelic games club was set up in Clonsilla, Dublin under the name Erin go Bragh GAA.

One night in Auld Reekie as I walked down the street A saucy big polis I chanced for to meet He glowered in my face and he gi'ed me some jaw Sayin' "When cam' ye over, bold Erin-go-bragh?"
