Turas Siar 124 - Pap le MTS: Togra Béaloideas

Beidh díolachán earraí ar a gceartú... Domhnaigh seo chugainn, agus mar a ndíoltar chuile shórt Dé Domhnaigh. Beidh an díolachán ar bun ar feadh na seachtaine níos faide anonn, nó go nglanfar na seilfeannaí ar fad, agus ar mhaithe le togra béaloidise atá ar bun ag an Eachléim a ghabhfas pé brabach a bhéas ag an díolachan. Pádhraig é fhéin atá á mhiniú--cé bhfuil tú ar maidin, a Phádhraig?

There will be a sale...this Sunday, where all sorts are sold on Sunday. The sale will be on for a week or more, or until the shelves are cleared. And it's for the sake of an Eachléim folklore project that any profit from the sale will go. Pádhraig himself is here to explain. How are you this morning, Pádhraig?

na leabhair réasúnta go leor a mháirtín

the reasonably good books, Martin.

an-mhaith anois labhair i dtosach linn faoin faoin togra béaloideasa féin céard go díreach atá ar bun agaibh

Very good, now speak first with us about the folklore project itself, what exactly are you working on.

bhuel séard atá mé ag iarraidh a dhéanamh

Well, what I am trying to do.

ag iarraidh an méid atá cruinnithe agus curtha le chéile anseo ó thús ama

trying to gather and assemble what has been collected here since the beginning of time.

agus an méid atá le theacht go fóill

and what is yet to come.

tá mé fhéin ag cruinniú go leor anois b'fhéidir le cionn scór bliain, agus tá sé faighte as chuile chearn agus chuile áit, rudaí anois a chuirfeadh iontas ar..a chuir iontas orm fhéin, go deimhin...mapaí agus pioctiúracha agus...

I myself have been gathering a lot now for maybe twenty years, and it's taken from every corner and every place, things that would inspire wonder...things that surprised even myself, to be sure...maps and pictures and...

tuamaí agus 'chuile shórt

Tombs and every sort.

agus is í an aidhm atá agaibh, go bunúsach, ná go mbeadh fáil ag daoine air go dtí an rud uilig a thabhairt le chéile

and your basic aim is that people would have access to it to bring everything together.

is í

"she is"

ó, go díreach--an rud uiliug a thabhairt

oh, exactly--the whole thing

go díreach

exactly

agus go mbeadh, go mbeadh sé éasca ag daoine

and so that it would be easy for people

go mórmhór dá mbeadh sé le fáil ag muintir Iorrais iad fhéin anseo agus i bhfad ó bhaile

especially if it were available to the people of Erris themselves here and far from home.
