Turas Siar 286 - Riocard Bairéad, File.

Tá macallaí den eachtra sin ag maireachtáil i mbéaloideas an cheantair.

Echoes of that event live on in the folklore of the area.

Agus san amhrán a chum mBroc agat féin Pól Armas.

And in the song that Broc composed for you himself, Pól Armas...

Cén fáth nár thaitin Rocard le gaolta Neansaí?

Why did Neansaí's relatives not like Rocard?

Ar an gcéad dul síos, ba Chaitliceach Rocard agus Protastúnach Neansaí.

First of all, Rocard was a Catholic and Neansaí was a Protestant.

Feirmeoir láidir a bhí i Jack Tollet, athair Neansaí.

Jack Tollet, Neansaí's father, was a strong farmer.

Ach tionónta réasúnta bocht, is dóigh, a bhí i Rocard.

But Rocard was, I suppose, a reasonably poor tenant.

Ach ba chúis ba láidre ná sin ag muintir Talait in éadan Recaird.

But the people of Talait had a stronger reason than that against Ricard.

Sular phós Rocard agus Neansaí.

Before Rocard and Nancy married...

Bhí leanbh soirí i gCrocard.

There was a sick child in Crocard.

Cailín a bhí sa bpáiste mídhlisteanach agus is dócha gur mórán nó ní mhóráin sloinne a máthar.

The child was an illegitimate girl and it is likely that she had either many or very few of her mother's surnames.

Ní tógtha ar ghaolta Neansaí é mura raibh siad róshásta le Rocard Bairéad MacLiabháin.

He is not related to Neansaí unless they were very happy with Rocard Bairéad MacLiabháin.

Mar is dócha go raibh cáil réic air.

Because he probably had a ready reputation.

Cé go raibh Rocard agus Neansaí pósta ar feadh i bhfad ní raibh clann ar bith orthu.

Although Rocard and Neansaí were married for a long time, they had no children.

Is i Maigh Raithin i dtuaisceart Leithinis an Mhuirthead a bhí tuillte ag Jack Tollet.

It was in Magheratin in the north of the Mullet Peninsula that Jack Tollet had earned.

Am éigin timpeall seacht gcéad déag agus ochtó.

Sometime around seventeen eighty.
