agam faoi cheann seachtaine bheadh suim agam fáil amach ach bhí sé de nós ansin mar agus tá a fhios agam tháinig bhí dochtúir a tháinig anseo ag Caisle an Bharraigh blianta ó shin agus mé ag caint leis as Sasana mar bhí sí bhí bhí ganntanas dochtúirí agus bhí sé ag fiafraí faoi fhear as Acaill Ó Gallchóir agus go mbíodh sé ag obair leis ag cur caoi orthu ar feadh na mblianta. Ní hea théidís anonn 'chuile bhliain agus ansin bhíodh siad fostaithe ag na daoine príobháideacha seo le caoi a chur ar na garranta 'chuile bhliain agus bhí an-mheas aige ar an fhear seo.

In a week’s time I would be interested to find out, but it was the custom there then, and I know a doctor came here to Castlebar years ago and I was talking to him from England because there was a shortage of doctors and he was asking about a man from Achill, Ó Gallchóir, and that he used to work with him fixing them up over the years. No, they would go over every year and then they would be employed by these private people to fix up the gardens every year and he had great respect for this man.
