Na Mir.

The Pieces.

Snáthaid seo bhíodh ag teacht na scoile agus chaithfeá a dhul ag an dochtúir.

This needle used to come to the school and you would have to go to the doctor.

'Sén chéad rud a dhéanfadh sé.

The first thing he would do..

Chimeodh sé an tide ar do ar do chois ná ar do láimh bhí a fhios agat ansin.

It would ring the tide on your foot or on your hand, you knew then..

Sin go duine.

That's it, person..

Ach chuirfí ar 'chuile dhearbhadh é gearradh foscailte mé ag gortú a chuirfí.

But it would be put on every proof, an open cut would be inflicted on me, a hurt that would be inflicted...

'Sea.

Yes..

agus

and.

An boladh a bhí uaidh, an rud is mó a bhfuil cuimhne agam air.

The smell from him, that is the thing I remember most..

An boladh a bhí uaidh.

The smell that came from him..

Ní dhéanfá dearmad air.

You wouldn't forget it..

Bheadh a fhios agat a ghabhfá isteach i dteach thar theach ar bith eile go raibh tú istigh i dteach an dochtúir nuair a gheofá boladh anide.

You would know, if you went into any house over another, that you were in the doctor's house when you got the smell of aniseed.

Ba é an chéad mholadh a thiocfadh ort.

The first suggestion that would come to you...

Ach nach iontach an chaoi a bhfuil sé imithe as an saol mar, mar adeir mé, níor chuala mé aon chaint ar Idine, déarfainn, le dhá scór bliain.

But isn't it remarkable the way it has disappeared from life because, as I say, I haven't heard any talk of Idine, I'd say, for forty years.

Níl

No.
