There are some nice ones in the Sinn Féin shop (as Gaeilge freisin!). But I'm looking for a wider variety: specifically the ones that show the map of Palestine, including all occupied territories. Example: https://www.shirts4truth.com/product/free-palestine-tshirt/

I need it quick, which is why I need to buy from within Ireland.

(For anyone interested, this is the Sinn Féin shop https://sinnfeinbookshop.com/ )

Since the site linked in this post may be closing down (see a previous post about that), I thought I’d link to a useful thread there that I refer to often.

For anyone looking for ways to sign off an email in Irish, there are some good suggestions there (although my own level isn’t good enough to speak for all of them).

A group of up to 18 women in Co Wicklow, aged 65 to 90, spent four years knitting this.

The women met every Wednesday at Carnew Community Care centre where they came up with ideas of landmarks and historical sites across the island of Ireland that they could sew and knit together.

While 18 people started off the project, three of the women died over the years, and two others went into nursing homes.

"We covered the whole of Ireland in green squares, all different shades of green, before we started doing any of the knitting.

"Then we started with Leinster, and somebody said, 'I'll do Mount Leinster', and someone else started on Hook Head [Lighthouse], and different people did different parts. We worked together on everything.

He's been silent for a year after saying he was going to post his system. He believes the Caighdeán Oifigiúil is partitionist; it excludes Ulster, and is proposing an alternative Caighdeán.
