Maybe you would come in some day, with a lobster or something.

Beidh fáilte romhat ceart go leor.

You will be welcome all right.

Don't bother, you got it, because there is no, there is no notion of those funerals as much as you like..

Tá ceol agus amhráin a'd féin. Ar ndóigh bíonn tú ag casadh, ag casadh uirlisí, ag casadh céard a chas tú an bosca ceoil ab ea?

Every election I remember the first time I was sent out, I think, on the twelfth championship, of course there was Galway and Mayo and and.

Rath Cairn. Bhí siad uilig istigh in aon áit amháin agus cuireadh as an as an as an imirt mé nó as an áireamh mé ar an gcomhaireamh deiridh.

Rath Cairn. They were all inside in one place and I was put out of the game or out of the reckoning in the final count.

Agus d'éirigh go maith liom an t-am deiridh chomh maith fuair fuair mé 1,200 agus 1 chéad rogha de vótaí.

And I did well the last time as well, I got 1,200 and 1 first preference of votes.

Cúrsaí polaitíochta a fhágáil don agus b'fhéidir le cúnamh Dé go gcloisfeadh muid focal uaidh ronn an tseachtain an tseachtain seo chugainn le cúnamh Dé tá cúpla duine eile tar éis glaoch tá Pádraic Ó Murchú tá sé tar éis glaoch as Acaill tá sé ag baint an-taitneamh as.
