Tá tá tá céibh an fhodibh

Yes yes yes the quay of the bottom.

Tá an céibh le bheith déanta amach píosa fada leis an an sílim sílim gur trí chéad troigh atá sé ráite agam.

The pier is to be made out a long way, and I think I have said that it is three hundred feet.

dom anois trí chéad troigh a chur air agus deir siad gur dhá mhilliún punt atá déanta dhó.

now they have put three hundred feet on it and they say that two million pounds have been spent on it..

Ach ní bheidh an dá mhilliún in am an méid sin costas, an dtuigeann tú, a íoc.

But the two million won’t be able to pay that amount in time, you understand.

Ach tá dúil acu, tá sé thimpeall cúig bliana déag ó shin. Bhí trí mhilliún deir siad curtha isteach ann an uair sin. Bhí obair níos mó le déanamh air ceart go leor ach deir siad go bhfuil píosa eile de bhalla anois le cur air chomh maith í an dtuigeann tú.

But they are interested, it’s about fifteen years ago. They say three million was put into it at that time. There was more work to be done on it, all right, but they say there’s another piece of wall to be put on it now as well, you understand.

Agus tá dúil le Dia acu. Dúirt siad liomsa go gcaithfidh an obair tomhaisiú i mbliana anois an dtuigeann tú ach fanfaidh siad nuair a ghabhfas an mara síos agus cé chomh géar agus a theastaíonn sé, cé chomh mór agus a úsáid.

And they have a desire for God. They told me that the work must be measured this year now, do you understand, but they will wait when the tide goes down and how sharp it is needed, how much and how it is used.

á úsáid dhá dhéanamh ó tá tá

using two to make from is is.

Óh tá tá dream a dtuigeann tú le báid téann siad isteach le caoirigh agus le le ba isteach go go oileán Inis Gé.

Oh yes yes, there is a group you know, with boats they go in with sheep and with cows in to the island of Inis Gé.

Agus ansin tá go leor turasóireacht.

And then there is a lot of tourism..

Ansin

Insa tsamhradh, an bhfuil a fhios agat?

In the summer, do you know?

Agus tá soithí móra ag tíocht thart chomh maith agus go dtiocfaidh siad isteach le báid bheag ansin.

And large vessels are coming around as well and they will come in with small boats then..

Go dtí Céibh an Ád an dtuigeann tú?

To the Quay of Fortune do you understand?
