I am looking for the Irish Language translation for "our family above all things" that I want to include in a tattoo along with the O'Loughlin Family Crest.
Thank you in advance for all you wonderful volunteers!

Hello,
What do you mean by family?
Irish has a number of words for family:
Teaghlach is used to mean the 'household'
Muintir is encompasses 'all relatives, people of a particular community/ family'.
Ár dteaghlach thar gach uile ní 'our household above all things'
Ár muintir thar gach uile ní 'our family above all things'
Síol/ Munitir/ Clann(a) Uí Lochlainn thar gach uile ní 'Progeny/ People (family)/ Progeny (Descendants) of
O'Loughlin above all things'
