Síos le dípháistí bhíodh muid amuigh ag dul ag obair.
As children we used to be out going to work..
Nuair a tháinig an sagart bhí an sagart ina aghaidh.
When the priest came, the priest was against him.
Bhí an tEaspag ina aghaidh.
The Bishop was against him.
'Chuile cheann acu, ar chaoi ar bith, nuair a cailleadh é, ní ligfeadh an sagart a chur sa teampall sa Teampall Caitliceach.
Each one of them, anyway, when he died, the priest would not allow him to be buried in the Catholic Church.
Agus siad isteach ina ghort féin.
And they into his own field.
Bhí sceitheach ann.
There was a hawthorn bush there.
Agus d'iontaigh siad isteach ansin agus chuir siad faoi Mhóin na Sceithí é.
And they turned in there and put him under Móin na Sceithí.
Agus faoi bhun an chnoic.
And at the foot of the hill...
Go maith agus ní raibh go holc.
Good, and it wasn't bad.
Ní raibh aon ghléas leis na na sagairt óg a iompar an uair sin.
There was no means to transport the young priests at that time.
