Ní neart go cur le chéile means There is no strength without unity, and is said Nee nyart guh kur leh khay-leh.
Word for word
Taken literally it reads No strength till putting together. Irish often puts a sentence together differently from English, so the literal reading rarely matches the meaning.
How to say it
Say it Nee nyart guh kur leh khay-leh, written the way an English speaker would read it.
When you’d say it
The one every GAA club and community group in the country has on a wall. Cur le chéile is putting together, so strength only arrives when people do.
