Public asked to suggest 'motto for Ireland'

Irish people are being asked to think up an unofficial motto for Ireland.

The idea is being launched by the Better Together campaign, which aims to build support for charities, community groups, clubs and associations across the country.

Ivan Cooper, Director of Advocacy with The Wheel, says other countries have well-known mottos.

"The French have 'Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité', and the Greeks is a bold battle cry apparently, 'Freedom or Death', and the South Africans have their motto - 'Unity and Diversity'," he said.

"So we just think a national motto could be a powerful way for Irish people to think about what we stand for as a nation, what we'd like to stand for as a nation, and what we'd like our society to be like in the years ahead."
