Turas Siar 364 - Pádraic Ó Gionnáin as Cill Ghallagáin, beannacht Dé lena anam, ag cur síos ar bhainiseacha, ar chleamhnas, ar an ólachán srl. Máirtín Mac Donnchadha, RnaG, a thaifead.

Céard a bhí ann ní fhaca mise amach an dia grásta óltaí trí thuis ariamh ní raibh aon airgead aici le

What was it, I didn't see, oh dear God, drinkers through and through, she never had any money.

Ní raibh.

There was not...

Ach tá an t-airgead anois ann a Mháirtín, tá a fhios agat.

But the money is there now, Máirtín, you know..

Agus eh

And eh.

Sna bailte móra go mórmhór.

In the big towns especially...

Tá an t-ól dhá dhéanamh ann, tá a fhios agat, agus na daoiní atá anois ann, a Mháirtín, chaoi a bhfeicimse iad, níl aon chaint ar sábháil airgid ar chor ar bith, a Mháirtín, tá a fhios agat.

The drinking is going on there, you know, and the people who are there now, Máirtín, the way I see them, there’s no talk of saving money at all, Máirtín, you know..

Níl níl ann ach ón lá go dtí an béal.

There is nothing, nothing but from the day to the mouth..

Agus, mar a dúirt mé cheana leat, beidh tú leolaí an rud a bhí fhios againn í.

Before this.

inné agus arú inné agus amárach agus

Arú amárach, mar a déarfá.

That’s how we were brought up before and it’s changed now here, you know, and.

'Chuile shórt ag an mbanc anois.

Every sort at the bank now..

Céard é? Tá morgáistí móra agus gan pingin ar bith dhá chaitheamh, nach b'ea? Tá 'fhios agat nach b'ea? Tá siad ag rith ann rotrace anois, a Mháirtín? Déarfainn féin caithfidh air. Nuair a bhéas teach úr acu anois tá 'fhios agat caithfidh ar zero zero go charr a bheith taobh amuigh chomh maith, tá 'fhios a'd.

What is it? There are big mortgages and not a penny being spent at all, isn’t that right? You know it’s not, don’t you? They’re running a rat race there now, Máirtín. I’d say myself they have to. When they have a new house now, you know, they have to have a zero zero something car outside as well, you know yourself…

Mar

Because.
