Turas Siar 256 - Seán Mhaidhcí Ó Gallchobhair as an gCorrán i bparóiste Acla: a chúlra, a shaol oibre, an mhúinteoireacht, polaitíocht. Faoi agallamh ag Seán (sloinne?).

Sea

Yes.

Agus táid ag ól ag an deireadh seachtaine. Is beag meas atá ag go leor acu ar obair bhaile agus tá go leor rudaí cearr thart sa sochaí thart orainn agus tá sé le feiceáil.

And they are drinking at the weekend. Many of them have little respect for homework and there are many things wrong in the society around us and it can be seen.

I mean.

I mean..

sna daltaí scoile agus an cineál meon atá acu sa lá inniu.

in the school students and the kind of attitude they have today..

An dtacófá mar sin leis leis na múinteoirí atá ag cuartú ardú pá go tríocha faoin gcéad ceathracha fán gcéad anois bhoil thacóinn céad faoin gcéad caithfidh mé a rá nach raibh mé féin ar intinn ar an intinn céanna a bhí mé ag iarraidh a bheith ag déanamh suas m'intinn ach an rud a tharla an lá cheana agus na polaiteoirí ag tabhairt ardú dhóibh féin agus mar sin de caithfidh mé a rá.

Would you then support the teachers who are seeking a pay rise of thirty percent, forty percent now? Well, I would support it one hundred percent, I have to say I wasn’t myself of the same mind, I was trying to make up my mind, but what happened the other day, with the politicians giving themselves a rise and so on, I have to say...

Bhuel, caithfidh mé a rá.

Well, I have to say..

Ní bhíonn, ní bhíonn aon achrann nuair a bhíonn siad ag tabhairt ardú dóibh féin.

There isn’t, there isn’t any trouble when they are praising themselves.

Feicim go bhfuil sé scannalach go pearsanta go bhfuil sé scannalach.

I see that it is scandalous personally that it is scandalous.

Ar ndóigh, tá lucht Ti agus Into ag cuartú níos mó ná meánmhúinteoirí faoi láthair.

Of course, the Ti and Into groups are currently looking for more than average teachers.

Gheobhaidh

Will get.

Beidh raic faoi seo sna léargais.

There will be uproar about this in the insights..

Sílim go mbeidh agus má tá má tá Cití mór iomlán amuigh ansin tá muid ag íoc cánach le fada fada an lá agus tá sé in am againn sciar dhó sin a fháil ar ais.

I think there will be and if there is, if there is a big full Kitty out there, we have been paying tax for a very, very long time and it's time for us to get a share of that back.

Is is abair cé go ndéarfadh daoine go leor abair faoi mhúinteoireacht go bhfuil nach bhfuil ann ach uaireanta beaga mar a déarfá nach bhfuil aon uaireanta fada oraibh agus nach raibh aon uaireanta fada nach bhfuil uaireanta fada agus go bhfuil saoire saoire fada ann.

It is said, although many people would say about teaching that it is only a few small hours, as you might say, that there are no long hours on you and that there were no long hours, that there are no long hours, and that there are long holidays.

Saoire: Sin an fháth go bhfuil siad ann ach caithfidh tú déantar réamhobair a dhéanamh sula théann tú isteach ag rá.

Holiday: That is the reason they exist but you have to do some preparation before you go in saying...

Caitheann tú obair obair bhaile a cheartú agus a thabhairt ar ais dó. Ní ní chríochnaíonn obair scoile nuair a fhágann tú nuair a scaras na scoile. Tá an cúram sin ort i gcónaí agus má bhreathnaíonn tú ar mhúinteoirí ag tabhairt amach an aos óg le haghaidh cluichí agus le haghaidh 'chuile shórt a dhéanamh agus rud a thaitnigh liom féin go mór bhí mé ag múineadh tíreolais agus thabharfainn agus ealaíne agus thug mé daltaí liom go Sasana don Iodáil, don Fhrainc, don Ghearmáin, do go leor tíortha san Eoraip.

You have to correct homework and give it back to him. Schoolwork doesn’t end when you leave, when you part from the school. That responsibility is always on you and if you look at teachers bringing out the young people for games and for all sorts of things, and something I really enjoyed myself—I was teaching geography and I would give (classes in) art and I brought students with me to England, to Italy, to France, to Germany, to many countries in Europe.
