Correctly spelled Óglaigh na hÉireann; literally meaning "Irish Volunteers", is the offical title of the Irish Defense Forces. The term "Óglaigh na hÉireann" has been misappropiated over the years by various terrorist groups (i.e. IRA, Real IRA), who do not recognise the legitimacy of the Irish state and consequently the Irish Defense Forces.

There is a good article on the defense forces website http://military.ie/dfhq/history/history.htm , which details the origins of the term and the defense forces themselves.

"Is Éireannach tú" means "You are Irish".

Another lame Google translation.

If you are trying to translate 'the luck of the Irish' it is 'an t-ádh dearg'.
