Turas Siar 243 - Ón gclár Ardtráthnóna le Máirtín Tom Sheáinín. Pádraic S. as an gCartúr agus Liam Mac Con Iomaire as Casla ag tráchtaireacht ar Shail Óg Rua.

Tá sé ag tarlú anuas sna blianta go fóill.

It is still happening down through the years.

'Sea, agus ní bhíodh aonduine ag rá tada fúthu an mbíodh ná ná ná éinne ag cur aon bhac orthu, an mbíodh?

Yes, and nobody used to say anything about them, did they, nor did anyone put any obstacle in their way, did they?

Bhoil, ní bhíodh, ní bhíodh, creidim go mbíodh sé suas leo féin, sin é an chaoi a mbíodh sé fágtha.

Well, there wasn't, there wasn't, I believe it used to be up to themselves, that's how it used to be left..

Nach mór an t-ionadh nach mbíodh an Eaglais féin, mar a déarfá, ag rá tada faoi.

Isn't it a great surprise that the Church itself, as you might say, used not to say anything about it..

Bhuel, is cosúil nach raibh siad ag tabhairt.

Well, it seems they were not giving...

Déanamh mórán déanamh mórán dó.

Making much, making much of him..

Agus rianta 'siad an t-eaglais a phósadh iad, mar a déarfá, agus d'fhág siad beannacht an eaglais an tsagairt.

And they went to the church to get married, as you might say, and they left with the blessing of the church and the priest.

Bhfuil a fhios agat an bealach sa seanaimsir nuair a bhíodh duine ag dul ag iarraidh bean le pósadh, tá mé ag caint anois ar an té a ghabhfadh in éindí leis an té a bhí ag dul a bheadh dhá dhul, dhá pósadh, dhá dhá bhfaigheadh sé.

Do you know the old-fashioned way when someone used to go looking for a wife to marry, I’m talking now about the person who would go along with the one who was going, who would be going, marrying, if he would get her...

An gcaithfeadh cineál stádas éigin a bheith aige sa sa bpobal nó ar ar

Would he have to have some kind of status in the community or something like that?

Ó fear a ghabhadh leis 'Sea, óh chaithfeadh

Oh man who was caught with it Yes, oh he would have to.

'Sea.

Yes..

Cathair

City.

Ó chaitheadh cineál

A kind was spent.

Meas agus ómós a bheith air

To have respect and honor for him.

gcaithfeá cineál stíl ná straidhp éigin a bheith air an bhfuil a fhios agat mar a déarfá?

You’d have to have some kind of style or some sort of stripe on it, you know, as you’d say?
