Óh tharla go leor tá go leor

Since enough is enough.

Phóstaí le dream as as Sasana

Married to a group from England.

Le blianta beaga anuas anois tá thart ar déarfainn b'fhéidir leathscór thart san áit.

In recent years now there are about, I’d say, maybe half a score or so around that area...

Thug mná abhaile leo as Sasana agus atá ina gcónaí anseo.

They brought wives home with them from England and who are living here.

Tá an pobal áitiúil, mar a déarfá, faoi mar a bhíodh sé, tá sé ag briseadh síos ar an gcaoi sin, tá cinnte agus níos mó Béarla ag teacht isteach san áit seo.

The local community, as you might say, as it used to be, it is breaking down in that way, certainly, and more English is coming into this place.

Ná atá.

Don't be..

Chuidigh an an Coláiste i gColáiste Corbara déarfainn gur chuidigh sé leis an nGaeilge ach

Agus ar ndóigh an an teilí b'fhéidir an rud is measa.

And of course the television perhaps is the worst thing..

'Sé. 'Sea.

No. Yes.

Raidió na Gaeltachta go maith leis chomh maith.

He likes Raidió na Gaeltachta as well.

An chuid is mó de na daoiní anois.

Most people now..

Thart anseo bíonn siad ag éisteacht leis.

Around here they listen to him.
