Turas Siar 162 - Mary John Tom Bhreatnach as Tóin na hOlltaí agus seanchas aici faoina baile dúchais. Agallamh a rinne Máirtín Mac Donnchadha.

Táthar dhá dhéanamh sa trá láthair ar iascairí na hÉireann thart leis an gcósta ach nach mbeidh an ceart agus an cóir.

Work is being done at present on Irish fishermen around the coast but it will not be right and fair.

Ná mbeidh an chéibh sin

Do not be at that quay.

Tugtha isteach an uair sin, b'fhéidir, ag ag rialtas eicínt dream eicínt agus cóir í a athchóiriú agus go mbeadh sí an-tábhachtach inniu don dream óg.

Introduced then, perhaps, by some government or other group and it should be reformed and it would be very important today for the young people.

Raibh sí chomh tábhachtach ina lá agus a bhí Céibheanna Ó Duibh abair.

She was as important in her day as Céibheanna Ó Duibh, say.

Agus níos tábhachtaí.

And more importantly..

Do na hiascairí.

For the fishermen..

Do na hiascairí bhí níos mó iascairí ag dul amach an gcéibh seo agus an an-ghalar seo ná bhí?

For the fishermen, were there more fishermen going out this pier and this great disease than there were?

Ar an bhFód Dubh ní raibh caint ar bith mórán ar an bhFód Dubh.

Le iascairí le Mams nuair a bhí orm a thógáil anuas ar na seascaidí a thosaigh siad ag dul amach.

With fishermen with Mams when I had to take down in the sixties they started going out.

Ar an bhFód Dubh nuair a tháinig na báid na báid bhfuil fhios agat níos fearr ná a bhí ag an dream óig sean báid mhóra nuair a tháinig siad sin ach seo é an áit a raibh an obair ar an taobh ó thuaidh den teach solais an Fhóid Duibh an áit a dtugann siad Gob Willie Walker air.

On the Black Sod when the boats came, the boats you know better than the young crowd did, old big boats when they came, but this is the place where the work was on the north side of the lighthouse of Black Sod, the place they call Gob Willie Walker.

Bhí ag an dream óg mhór.

The large young crowd had...

Bhí sé ina chónaí ansin.

He lived there.

Níor tugadh aon ainm riamh air ach Willie.

He was never given any name but Willie.
