Turas Siar 161 - Mary John Tom Bhreatnach, Glais, ag cur síos ar Dhubhoileán a bhí á dhíol ag an am. Parlaimint Mhaigh Eo le Máirtín Mac Donnchadha.

An raibh tú féin istigh aon uair air, a Mháire?

Were you ever inside it yourself, Máire?

Ní raibh Mháirtín, nach aisteach an rud é.

Mháirtín wasn't, isn't it a strange thing..

Ní ní ní

No no no.

Na blianta siar ní raibh duine ar bith ag dul.

The years back there was nobody going...

Dul i dtír mórán ansin ach bhíodh na hiascairí ag dul anonn bhíodh siad ag iascaireacht ansin bhfuil fhios agat thart ar na hoileáin anonn ansin.

Landing a lot there but the fishermen used to go over they used to fish there you know around the islands over there.

Agus bhíodh siad ag fanacht as na na seantithe. Bhí tithe acu.

And they used to be waiting from the old houses. They had houses.

Ó bhí muintir an Aird Mhóir ag stór i mbunús i gcónaí agus tá cuimhne liom iad ag teacht anall as do mhilleán agus na corraí a iasc leo.

Since the people of Aird Mhóir were always in abundance and I remember them coming over from your blame and the fish they caught with them.

Agus mo mhuintir féin agus

And my own people and.

Cuid is mó thart sa gceantar seo síos tóin na hUltaigh.

Most of it around this area down the bottom of Ulster.

Agus em

And em.

breá an oileán í amach ann. Tá sí chomh glas inniu, a stór, de bharr an t-uisce a rinne sé go luath sa mbliain agus

It's a fine island out there. She is so green today, my dear, because of the water it made early in the year and.

'S é an cheist is mó a chuir daoine nuair a chuir, nuair a dairigh siad an nuacht inniu ar Nuacht an Iarthair.

The biggest question people asked when they asked, when they heard the news today on Nuacht an Iarthair...

Céard a bheadh siad ag dul a dhéanamh leis an oileán?

What would they be going to do with the island?

Ó, ceist mhór a bheadh ansin, ar ndóigh.

Oh, that would be a big question, of course.

Ceist mhór a bheith ansin go mór mhór bhfuil fhios agat san áit a bhfuil sí.

A big question to be there especially if you know where she is.
