Bhí sé ina dhá chuid a dtuigeann tú, an dtuigeann tú leat mé.

It was in two parts you understand, do you understand me..

Agus an raibh siad mar a chéile nó an raibh níos mó de cheann nó den cheann eile ann nó

And were they the same or was there more of one or the other or.

Ó bhí bhí taobh a bhfuil TB, bhí sé níos mó ná an ceann eile. Ní raibh ceann le haghaidh an pheitreal ach níl fhios agam b'fhéidir go rachadh dhá ghallann ann agus agus

Since there was a side where there is TB, it was bigger than the other one. There wasn’t one for the petrol but I don’t know, maybe two gallons would go in it and and.

Ní ní ghabhfadh ní ghabhfadh tada níos mó taobh amuigh dhó sin ann.

Dhá mbeifeá ag treabhadh ná déanamh tada den chineál sin leo é.

If you were ploughing, don’t do anything like that with them.

Abair leat féin bheadh sí fuaraithe de bharr na hoíche nuair a bheadh sí fágtha.

Say to yourself it would be cooled by the night when it would be left.

Amuigh, an bhfuil fhios agat?

Outside, do you know?

And there was a little cap under them then, you understand, to the side?
