Mise Éire - Adults' T-Shirt

Mise Éire (I am Ireland) is an Irish language poem written by the scholar and republican leader Patrick Pearce. Pádraig Mac Piarais, as he was known in Irish, was later executed for his role as one of the leaders of the 1916 Rising. The poem depicts Ireland as the Old Woman of Beare, proud and glorious, but in a sorry state.

Translation

I am Ireland

I am older than the Old Woman of Beare

Great my glory

I who bore Cuchulainn the valiant

Great my shame

My own children who sold their mother.

I am Ireland

I am lonelier than the Old Woman of Beare

Care

Washing

Wash inside-out to protect the printed design.
Machine wash cold (30°C maximum) with similar colours.
Use mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh stain removers.
Some garments, particularly heavyweight hoodies, may feature contrasting fabrics (for example, a darker outer fabric with a lighter hood lining). For the first 1–2 washes, it is recommended to wash separately or use a colour-catcher sheet to minimise any possible colour transfer.

Drying

Air dry where possible.
If using a tumble dryer, select a low-heat setting. High heat can damage prints and cause shrinkage.

Ironing

Do not iron directly on the printed area.
If ironing is required, turn the garment inside-out and use a low to medium heat setting.
