Céard a bhí sibh a dhéanamh aimsir Nollag?
What were you doing at Christmas time?
Trosc scadáin agus mura raibh iasc glusa blasáin ag iascach.
Herring trout and if there were no tasty fish caught by fishing...
Ag breathnú siar sa stair ansin meastú an ndearna muintir Inis Gé ceart nuair a d'athraíodar isteach go tír mór sna tríochaidí?
Looking back in history then, do you think the people of Inis Gé did the right thing when they moved to the mainland in the thirties?
Oileánach eile ceapann sé go ndearna.
Another islander thinks that he did...
Is cosúil ó tharla an báthadh.
It seems since the drowning...
ar an oileán cúpla bliain roimhe sin.
on the island a couple of years before that..
gur go ndearna siad suas a n-aigne.
that they made up their minds..
Imeacht as an oileán agus a dhul amach go tír mhóir.
Leaving the island and going out to the mainland.
Bhí an smaoineamh sin ina gcroí agus ina meoin agus ina n-aigne.
That idea was in their heart and in their mind and in their thoughts.
