Maith

Good.

Muise bhíodh.

Well, indeed there used to be...

Ó bhí.

Since...

Chaithfeadh neart.

It would take strength..

Ag iarraidh í a chos a fháil istigh, an bhfuil a fhios?

Trying to get her foot in the door, you know?

Neart maoin a bheith agat ab ea?

Is it to have plenty of wealth?

B'fhéidir go mbeadh mbeadh siad ag iarraidh b'fhéidir

Maybe they might want to, maybe.

Leathchos a fháil taobh istigh den cheantar go raibh leo.

To get a foothold within the area they wanted.

Fhios agat.

You know..

Sea

Yes.

mbeadh tuilleadh ag tíocht ina dhiaidh sin, an bhfuil a fhios agat?

if there would be more coming after that, do you know?

In the year we are in, in the year two thousand, when you look back properly on yourself and look at life, there’s a chance that it wasn’t cattle and sheep and livestock of that kind that were bringing people to the Béal an Mhuirid fair or maybe many other nights at the time, but a sad story...

gCrua 'sea 'sea 'sin é an ciopaí, ní raibh ansin ach cineál sampla, an bhfuil a fhios agat?

Hard yes yes that's the trick, that was only a kind of example, do you know?
