os cionn cheithre chéad vóta ann, cheithre chéad caoga ceathair vóta, agus

Fuair mé ceithre chéad tríocha naoi acu.

I got four hundred and thirty-nine of them.

mhór an méid é sin. Bhí tú sásta go leor leis sin.

that is a lot. You were quite happy with that.

Agus cén pholaitíocht is mó anois atá ag ag muintir na háite seo?

The people of Fianna Fáil are most...

Fianna Fáil is mó thrí an obair.

Fianna Fáil is most through the work.

Ná oibrí.

Do not work..

Fear iontach a bhí ann cinnte ach

Fine Gael in the past, if it had stayed as it was, I would say that it would do much better.
