    I posted earlier on the leaving cert forum looking for a translation, purplefistmixer gave me a translation in his/her words a "wild attempt" "A lán déanta, níos mó le dhéanamh" = a lot done more to do. (Fianna Fáil slogan)

    He/She suggested I try the Irish Board

    Id be grateful if anyone could confirm if this is correct for me please

    Thanks in advance

    Yeah purplefistmixer had it right. Only leave out the h in dhéanamh. Other than that it is spot on;

    A lán déanta, níos mó le déanamh

    Incidentally it seems that FF had that phrase translated as "Go leor déanta, go leor le déanamh" for the 2002 election campaign. Only problem with that is that "go leor" can mean both "a lot/lots" and "enough". So it's could be translated as "Enough done, enough to do".
    They got a bit of slagging in the Irish language media for that one. And rightly so. It seems they were being more honest about their programme for government in Irish than they were in English. :rolleyes:
