Turas Siar 438 - Stair Inis Cé

Tá an t-ainm céanna dáiríre.

It’s really the same name..

Ar oileán eile ar chósta na hAlban.

On another island off the coast of Scotland..

Agus tá a fhios ag 'chuile dhuine an t-oileán sin ar a dtugtar Oileán Sky nó scíth nó pé ar bith chaoi ar mian leat é a rá.

And everyone knows that island called the Isle of Skye or rest or whatever way you want to say it..

Sílimse mar sin gurb é an t-ainm céanna atá ar an oileán seo agus atá ar an oileán atá ar chósta thiar na hAlban ar a dtugtar Sky nó nó ainm éigin cosúil le Sky nó Sky nó pé ar bith.

I think, therefore, that this island has the same name as the island off the west coast of Scotland called Sky or some name like Sky or Sky or whatever.

chaoi is mian leat a rá

the way you want to say.

Tá an t-oileán seo Inis Gé timpeall leath bealaigh idir Ceann Acla agus Ceann an Ar an gcoirnéal sin de Chontae Mhaigh Eo is faide siar aduaidh ar fad.

This island, Inis Gé, is about halfway between Achill Head and the Head at that corner of County Mayo, the furthest northwest of all.

Níl mórán eolais againn dháiríre faoin oileán áirithe seo mar atá faoi oileáin eile agus is lú fós atá againn faoin oileán ó tháinig na hoileánaigh isteach ar tír mór thar éis báthadh tubaisteach Inis Gé.

We don’t really have much information about this particular island as we do about other islands, and we have even less about the island since the islanders came onto the mainland after the disastrous drowning of Inishkea.

Tá an t-oileán chúig mhíle ar fhad ón gCarraig ar an taobh ó dheas den Oileán, ó dheas ar a dtugtar an Baile Thiar agus ó thuaidh go dtí Carraig Gaoithe, 'sé sin an charraig is faide ó thuaidh ar an oileán eile, 'sé sin an t-oileán ó thuaidh nó an Baile Thoir mar a thugann siad air.

The island is five miles in length from the Carrick on the south side of the Island, south to what is called the West Town and north to Carraig Gaoithe, that is the rock furthest north on the other island, that is the northern island or the East Town as they call it.

Ar ndóigh, ba cheart dhom a rá libh ag an bpointe seo go bhfuil dhá oileán in Inis Gé agus gurb éard a chleacht na hOileán í féin mar ainm orthu ná an Baile Thiar agus an Baile Thoir.

Of course, I should say to you at this point that there are two islands in Inis Gé and that what the islanders themselves used as names for them were the West Town and the East Town.

Mar gur dhúradar liom gurbh í an ghaoth aniar nó an ghaoth anoir is mó a chuirfeadh isteach orthu ar an oileán.

Because they told me that it was the west wind or the east wind that would affect them most on the island.

Níl idir an dá oileán ach leathchéad slat.

There is only fifty yards between the two islands.

Tá cnoc timpeall trí chéad troigh ar an mBaile Thiar agus tá

There is a hill about three hundred feet at the West Town and there is.

Cineál túr ar an gcnoc sin bhoil 'Sén fáth a raibh sé sin ann le Marc.

A kind of tower on that hill, that's why it was there with Marc.
