Agus má tá stop maith de ghliomaigh agus má tá na gliomaigh

And if there is a good supply of lobsters and if there are lobsters.

Beagáinín beag níos mó beidh na hóstáin agus daoine mara iad agus na na bialainn beidh siad i bhfad níos sásta leo an dtuigeann tú sea bhíodh bhíodh gliomaigh an-bheag á chur ar an bhfarraige.

A little bit more, the hotels and people will be gone, and the restaurants will be much happier with them, do you understand, yes, there used to be very small lobsters being put into the sea...

Sea

Yes.

Go dtí seo.

Up to now..

An an cheist eile, a Sheáin, ar ar phléigh sibh na deacrachtaí atá ann faoi láthair maidir le tanáiste agus ceadúnaisí agus mar sin ar ar na sruthlínte agus ar an ar an mbradán?

And another question, Seán: did you discuss the current difficulties regarding tanáiste and licences and so on for the tributaries and for the salmon?

Bhuel, níor phléigh, daontaigh muid nach ndearna muid plé ar bith orthu mar tá, tá an dá cheist achrannach sin, tá siad thuas sa spéir faoi láthair agus

So we couldn't, we could be talking and up together until midnight and there would be no result from our work. We have to leave it and see.

Sea. An bhfuil sibh den tuairim go bhfuil an an scéal ina thíor thuathail faoi láthair nó

Yes. Do you think that the situation is completely chaotic at the moment or not?

Bhuel, tá sin mar atá an scéal.

Well, that's how the story is..

Ní ní ní bhraithfeadh sé orainn a bheith den tuairim sin. Tá an tuairim sin ar fud an chósta mar déarfá sea. Tá go leor iascairí beaga an dtuigeann tú a bhfuil curachaí acu agus a leithéidí.

He would not expect us to have that opinion. That opinion is all along the coast, you might say. There are many small fishermen, you understand, who have currachs and the like.

Tá go leor.

There is a lot..

a théadh amach páirtaimseartha ag fáil cúpla dosaen gliomach.

who used to go out part-time getting a couple dozen lobsters..

Agus bin é.

And that’s it..

Bain a chleacht siad i rith a saoil agus saol a sinsir chomh maith.
