Éirí na Gealaí – that’s Irish for “The Rising of the Moon”. On the left is a crescent moon and on the right a pike, the latter instantly recognisable as the iconic weapon of the Irish rebels in the 1798 rebellion against British rule, which had many of its focal points here in Wexford. “The Rising of the Moon” is the title of a rebel song, and of a play with the same theme. Not too hard to interpret this house name.
Here’s that rebel song performed by the Dubliners https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65DclJTIjIk
