Peter Flanagan

i Sligeach?

in Sligo?

as Maryhill barracks

from Maryhill barracks

bhí sé ina TD anseo

He was a TD here

ar cuairt ag an baile thall

on a visit at the town

directives

directives

na hoifigigh, rinne siad plean amach

the officers, they made a plan.

thóg sinn na gunnaí, sin é

we took the guns, that's right

—

nuair a chuaigh sé síos an tsráid timpeall

when he went down the street around

"feicfidh mé thú anois" 'a deir sé

"I'll see you now," he says.

Oh, d'éalaigh tú as an teach?

Oh, you escaped from the house?

bhfuil fhios agat, focal nár, nár chuala mé ariamh go bhfaca mé ansin é: curaclam

You know, that's a word I never heard until I saw it there: curriculum.

rinne sinn raid eile ar mianaigh

"then according to an explained man"

ní raibh obair ar bith san áit is againne anois

there was no work in our place

seacht mbliana, seacht mbliana, nuair a bhí mé seacht mbliana

Seven years, seven years, when I was seven years.
