Turas Siar 393 - Pádhraic S. Ó Murchú as an gCartúr agus Máirtín Mac Donnchadha, RnaG: an chaoi a gcuirtí airgead abhaile san am fadó.

mórmhór stáisiún na dtraenacha fadó nuair a bhíodh siad ag cur

very big was the train station long ago when they used to be running.

Wire a dh'ithe feictear dhom gur wire a thugadh siad air nuair a bhíodh siad ghabhadh siad isteach i fear amháin i stáisiún amháin.

Wire that was eaten, it seems to me that it was called wire when they used to catch it, they would bring it into one man in one station.

Traein a chuirfeadh sé ó wire go dtí stáisiún eile, feictear dhom, feictear dhom gurb in é an bunús atá leis an wire.

A train that he would send from the wire to another station, it seems to me, it seems to me that that is the basis of the wire.

Suimiúil nach bhfuil a thuigfeadh duine an wire an scéal i mbarr bata nó an scéal i mbarr seangáin nó agus ansin an an an taobh eile dhó nó an wire le

Interesting that a person would not understand the story at the top of a stick or the story at the top of an ant or and then the other side of it or the wire with.

Nuair a bhí an raidió ag duine agus gan ladhar ar bith ag dul isteach ann.

When someone had the radio and not a bit of interference going into it..

Gadhar ar bith ag dul isteach yea gan we ar bith bhoil ar ndóigh bhí bhí bhí conspóid mhór leis sin ar fad.

No dog going in yeah without any we of course there was there was there was a big controversy with all that..

nuair a nuair a théann nuair a nuair a thosaigh siad ag éisteacht freisin ach

when when it goes when when they started listening too but

Ach díreach an rud eile a Phádraic atá ag teacht ag cuimhneamh díreach ag cuimhneamh ar an bpost anois abair thagadh an wire nó an an rud a dtugaidís go hoifigiúil an an money gram sílim a thugaidís air. Bhíodh an rud ann a dtugaidís an Register Litter Litter freisin air. Tá a fhios agam gur litreacha cláraithe anois a thuganns muid go hoifigiúil i nGaeilge air ach níor airigh mise ag an seandream ariamh ach Register Litter mar a deireann siad an n-úsáidtí iad sin go minic a Phádraic nó an bhfuil aon chuimhne agat?

But just the other thing, Pádraic, that is coming to mind, just remembering the job now, say the wire would come or the thing they used to call officially the money gram, I think they called it. There used to be the thing they called the Register Letter as well. I know that now we officially call them registered letters in Irish, but I never heard the old crowd ever call it anything but Register Letter, as they say. Were those used often, Pádraic, or do you have any memory of that?

é ach ag tíocht mar a deir siad féin.

it’s just coming as they themselves say..

Abraíonn siad thart anseo go tráthúil ón Department.

They say around here in a timely manner from the Department..

Óh 'sea céard litreacha a bhainfeadh le cúrsaí talún?

Oh yes, what letters would be associated with land matters?

'Seod litreach a bhain.

This is a letter that came..

Ba in é ba mhó a bhaineann talún agus ba in é atá, sin í, sin í an fhírinne.

That is the one who owns the most land and that is who it is, that is it, that is the truth.

talún agus

land and.

Ba é an Department anseo an an ceann amháin abú a raibh ceangal ar bith acu leis.

The Department here was the only one they had any connection with.
