Diane, this is Latin, not Celtic. Easy to get confused. I assume you watched Boondock Saints. Good movie, but lots of language. Any way, the motto is "Veritas - Aequitas" which would be "truth and justice." Don't go tattoo that on your back now...

justice & truth

Latin "aequitas" is justice (and I think also "equality")and "veritas" is obviously "truth", but since aequitas is not an adjective and there is no verb in your example, I am not sure of the exact translation of the two words in combination, if there is one. If there was, for example, something like "aequitas versitas est" then that would mean "justice is truth," but as is, I am not sure.
