A relative has an old Irish litter bin to restore and I’m just wondering if anyone knows what the text on this plaque says?
Can’t quite make it out all the letters and despite playing around with some ideas in Google Translate, I’ve been unable to come up with a translation that makes sense!
Also, does anyone know what the pictures are or have a link to a less faded version?
There seems to be a Bible/prayer book, a cross, not sure about the other two items.

Bundoran coat of arms
> Fáilte, Sláinte, Beoite
“welcome, health, lively”

It’s probably [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Coat_of_arms_of_Bundoran,_County_Donegal.png), so it says “Fáilte, Sláinte, Beoite”.
“fáilte, sláinte” and something else
Thanks everyone! Item identified/translated.
