An gcreideann tú gur féidir an Ghaeilge a athbheochan?

Do you believe that Irish can be revived?

Nó uimhir a haon a choinneáil sa sna Gaeltachtaí nó sa nGaeltacht ar fud na tíre mar atá sí gan bacadh léi scaipeadh amach i dtús báire go dtí na breac-Ghaeltachtaí agus ansin ar fud na tíre ar fad.

Or to keep number one in the Gaeltachts or in the Gaeltacht throughout the country as it is without interfering with it, to spread it out first to the partial-Gaeltachts and then throughout the whole country.

Ní féidir é a dhéanamh.

It can't be done.

Creidim gur féidir a dhéanamh.

I believe it can be done..

Ach creidim ag an am chéanna, de réir mar atá siad ag dul ar aghaidh faoi láthair, nach féidir é a dhéanamh ar an gcaoi a bhfuil siad ag dul chuige.

But I believe at the same time, as they are going about it at present, that it cannot be done in the way they are going about it.

Sin é sin mo bharúil.

That's it, that's my opinion.

Go fírinneach faoin scéal.

Truly about the story...

Cén chaoi a leigheasfá an scéal mar sin?

How would you fix the situation like that?

Bhuel anois

Well now.

Tá an Ghaeltacht anois dhátheangach.

The Gaeltacht is now bilingual.

Tá dhá theanga sa nGaeilge mar atá acu.

There are two languages in Irish as they have.

Go hoifigiúil, tá Béarla agus Gaeilge anseo an fad fad is atá Béarla againn anseo.

Officially, there is English and Irish here as long as we have English here.

Fad is atá Béarla mar theanga oifigiúil.

As long as English is an official language..

sa nGaeltacht.

in the Gaeltacht

Tá, tá an Ghaeilge réidh, sin é mo bharúil féin.

Yes, Irish is ready, that's my own opinion.
