Bhfuil fhios agat tá sé in am cóimh rud éigin a dhéanamh anois tá sé thar am.
Do you know it's time to do something now, it's past time.
Agus bí an t-airgead atá amuigh sa mBruiséal ná thuas i mBaile Átha Cliath tá sé in am acu a chaitheamh ar ar na cables thart anseo i gceantar Iorrais.
And the money that is out in Brussels or up in Dublin, it is time for them to spend it on the cables around here in the Erris area.
Bhí an cumhacht gearrtha i Ros Dumhach aréir chomh maith.
The power was cut in Rossport last night as well.
Bhí mbeadh sé síos uilig bhoil. 'S é an rud is mó a chuirim isteach anseo ar na daoine. Bhí clár ar TG4, aréir a bhí ar leathuair i ndiaidh a naoi, cearca agus cearca agus coilea.

Agus thug siad an obair céanna do na seisear mná agus do na seisear eile le déanamh.
And they gave the same work to the six women and to the other six to do.
Agus bhí leaid áitiúil san gceantar seo abróidh mé ceantar na hEachléime ag tógáil páirt ann.
And there was a local lad in this area—I’ll say the Eachléim area—taking part in it.
Agus bíonn na daoine óga uilig cruinn lena chéile ag anc ar an gclár seo mar ní go minic a tharlaíonn sé a Sheáin go dtéann éinne sa gceantar seo t ná
And all the young people gather together at the show because it’s not often, Seán, that anyone from this area goes or anything like that.
Thaitin bhí sé uafásach mar nach raibh siad in ann a fheiceáil chuir sé isteach go mór orthu.
They liked it was terrible because they were not able to see, it really bothered them.
