Wording of motto?

Scrumpy Geoff

I think the final word may be chemmis

Scrumpy Geoff

I wonder if it is in Gaelic rather than Latin. Sorry I can't do any better

Scrumpy Geoff

I think the crest is that for the county of Dublin but the motto certainly is not.

Scrumpy Geoff

Image and description don't seem to match for the motto. Guess you have to go with the description and your reading of it. Really annoying this one.

Scrumpy Geoff

Dublinner? Dublinnis? I think definitely a D not an S looking at the rest of the text.

Scrumpy Geoff

Really stretching at point "At Cliath Dublin???"

I am really stuck with this one too. A sublime cat is nice, but what has it got to do with lavender! Is the word before the quote perhaps panel? Banner makes sense, but the first letter does not look like the writer's usual b.

Scrumpy Geoff

I prefer panel and I'm increasingly convinced it's more likely to be the company or location motto rather than anything to do with linen. Leaning very much towards Dublinnie or Dublinne. The D is so much like all the others. Apparently I'm threatened with divorce if I spend any more time on this... so I'll do a few more hours!

Maybe someone at TNA could look at the original image. It might be clearer.

Scrumpy Geoff

That would help. I've captured the segment and blown it up but not really very helpful. Sadly I can't paste the image here and I only have it saved locally.

Thanks to all for input. Have learned a lot; not least that Sackville Street, Dublin is now O'Connell Street, Dublin!

Scrumpy Geoff

If only we could find some solutions.
