againn eh

"againn eh"

B'fhéidir don don don don dul siar sa stair gur gur ón clann céanna a dtáinig siad, níl fhios agam.

Maybe for the backtracking in history that they came from the same family, I don't know.

Cuid againn.

Some of us..

Níl a fhios agam.

I don't know.

Sea

Yes. If you are finding the dialect difficult to understand (North Connacht Irish), there is sometimes a standard Irish version available here also:.

Níl fhios agam déarfainn gur Ultaí na na daoine McNeil a bhí anseo.

I don't know, I would say that the McNeil people who were here are Ulster people.

Sea agus sin Mac Conghaile seachas Ó Conghaile mar a bhíonns acu acu i gConamara ach inis dhúinn ar chuma ar bith cérbh í Bríd Ó Conghaile.

Yes, and that's Mac Conghaile instead of Ó Conghaile as they have in Connemara, but tell us anyway who Bríd Ó Conghaile was.

Mar a bhíonns.

As it is..

acu i gConamara.

"they have in Connemara."

Bhuel, bhí Bríd Bríd Uí Conghaile, Bridget Bridget Sheáin, máistir, an ainm coitianta a bhí uirthi.

Well, Bríd Bríd Uí Conghaile, Bridget Bridget Sheáin, master, was the common name she had.

Agus bhí sí pósta le fear.

And she was married to a man.

Antaine Mac Conghaile, Tony Johnny Mhurty an t-ainm a bhí air.

Antaine Mac Conghaile, Tony Johnny Mhurty was his name.

Is bhí cónaí orthu ag an chrosbhóthar ansin i mbréan ár scoil.

And they lived at the crossroads there near our school.

Anois bhí aithne agamsa ar Bhríd nuair a bhí mé óg.

Now I knew Bríd when I was young.

Eh bhí a bhí a bhí a mac Lorcán

Eh there was there was there was a son of Lorcán.
