Turas Siar 286 - Riocard Bairéad, File.

haon agus seachtain sa líne agus hocht a chur síos faoi dhó tráth ghlac seisean cead le na daoine is níor labhair sé ag íoc níos mó.

one and a week in the line and eight put down twice when he took permission from the people and he did not speak when paying more..

Tá sé dearfa scríofa gur talamh is críoch gach beo is chomh fada is a saol seo.

It is clearly written that earth and land are the fate of every living being as long as this life lasts.

Cár mhiste dhúinn braon beag a ól?

Would we mind having a little drop to drink?

Anuraidh agus arís i mbliana thionsnaigh muintir Iorrais tionól deireadh seachtaine in Óstán Sing i nGaoth Sáile faoin dteideal Éigse Recard Bairéad.

Last year and again this year the people of Erris initiated a weekend gathering in the Sing Hotel in Gaoth Sáile under the title Éigse Recard Bairéad.

Dhá thionól gur éirigh thar barr leo deireadh seachtainí de léachtanna, turasanna stairiúla, ceol agus cleachtadh chun oidhreacht Iorrais a chomóradh.

Two gatherings that were highly successful: weekends of lectures, historical tours, music, and practice to celebrate the heritage of Erris.

Cuid ríthábhachtach den oidhreacht san, ar ndóigh, is ea na hamhráin agus na dánta a fhág Rickád, Bairéad agus filí eile iris ina ndiaidh.

An important part of that heritage, of course, is the songs and poems that Rickard, Bairéad, and other poets left behind them.

Is é Nioclás Williams léachtóir le Gaeilge i gColáiste Ollscoile Bhaile Átha Cliath údar an leabhair Riceard Bairéad Dánta.

Nioclás Williams is a lecturer in Irish at University College Dublin, author of the book Riceard Bairéad Dánta.

Leabhar a fhoilsigh an Clóchór i naoi déag seachtó hocht.

A book published by Clóchór in nineteen seventy-eight.

Agus dob é a rianaigh saol agus saothar an fhile don gcéad éigse i nGaoth Sáile i naoi déag ochtó trí.

And it was he who traced the life and work of the poet for the first poetry gathering in Gaoth Sáile in nineteen eighty-three.

Tá an chaint seo ag Nioclás Williams bunaithe aige ar a raibh le rá ag an Éigse.

This talk by Nioclás Williams is based on what was said at the Éigse.

Ábhar na cainte seo file mór Iorrais, Rocard Bairéad.

The subject of this talk is the great Erris poet, Rocard Bairéad.

Nó mar a thugtaí go hiondúil air, Dic Bréad.

Or as he was usually called, Dic Bréad..

Níl mórán ar eolas againn faoina shaol.

We do not know much about his life.

Mar is suarach na foinsí atá againn.

Because the sources we have are meagre.

Má dhéanaimid na leideanna scaipthe a láimhseáil go cúramach, áfach.

If we handle the scattered clues carefully, however...
