'Sea, ach bhí sé beag go maith mar sin mar bheadh seic go hiondúil bheadh sé níos mó ná sin nach mbeadh.

Ní bhfaighfeá tarrac leidiú air.
You wouldn’t get a pull (or lift) near him.
Bhí agus níor theastaigh uathu go mbeadh mórán scéalta ag dul thart faoi ach an oiread ach go dtáinig sé níor mhaith níor mhaith dhuit a rá céard a bhí ann.
They were, and they didn’t want many stories going around about it either, but when it came, you really wouldn’t want to say what it was.
