Alright thank you so much for everyones input. Ive decided to use either Ní deireadh é ach tús nua.--It isnt the end but a new beginning. or Ní deire é ach tús eile -- Which has the same meaning. Which version do you guys recommend. They are both the same length and will fit nicely on my ribs. I just want to make sure they are correct and which one makes the most sense?
Thanks

As Braoin explained above, tús eile is probably the more natural phrasing in Irish.

I haven't seen the spelling deire before, but it is in the dictionary as a variant and Scooby is a qualified teacher, so it should be okay.

Ní deire é ach tús eile "It's not an end but a new beginning" literally "another beginning".

I can only say that deire is in the dictionary, so presumably it's used somewhere! I spell it deireadh myself. Perhaps deire is appropriate to certain dialects only? I can't tell you whether tús or tosach might go better with deire or even if it makes a difference. There are many people here who know a lot more about dialects than I do.
