of Irish women in South Australia in 1845 ' without bonnets and their
cloaks thrown over their heads'.

Go raibh tú daibhir i mí-áidh/May you be poor in ill-luck
Agus saibhir i mbeannachtaí/rich in blessings
Go mall ag déanamh namhaid/slow to make enemies
go luath ag déanamh carad/quick to make friends
