Bród na nGael

My comment:

'Bród' means 'proper pride, as opposed to 'uabhar' which also means 'pride' but tending towards arrogance. When referring to 'the Irish people' we usually use the phrase 'na Gaeil'. The possessive case (genitive) of 'na Gaeil' is 'na nGael' meaning 'of the Gael'

My references:

Ó Dónaill's Irish-English dictionary. I also speak Irish (and translate). I hope I am in time to save you from tattoing a meaningless phrase on a paying customer!
