Tá

Yes.

An t-ainm céanna dáiríre.

The same name really.

Ar oileán eile ar chósta na hAlban.

On another island off the coast of Scotland.

Agus tá a fhios ag 'chuile dhuine an t-oileán sin ar a dtugtar Oileán Sky nó scíth nó pé ar bith chaoi ar mian leat é a rá.

And everyone knows that island called Sky Island or rest or whatever way you want to say it.

Sílimse mar sin gob é an t-ainm céanna atá ar an oileán seo agus atá ar an oileán atá ar chósta thiar na hAlban ar a dtugtar Sky nó nó ainm éigin cosúil le Sky nó Sky nó pé ar bith chaoi is mian leat.

I think therefore that the same name is on this island as is on the island off the west coast of Scotland called Sky or some name similar to Sky or Sky or whatever way you want.

a rá.

to say

Tá an t-oileán seo Inis Gé timpeall leath bealaigh idir Ceann Acla agus Ceann an Ar an gcoirnéal sin de Chontae Mhaigh Eo is faide siar aduaidh ar fad.

This island Inis Gé is about halfway between Achill Head and the Head at that corner of County Mayo, the furthest northwest.

Níl mórán eolais againn dháiríre faoin oileán áirithe seo mar atá faoi oileáin eile agus is lú fós atá againn faoin oileán ó tháinig na hoileánaigh isteach ar tír mór thar éis báthadh tubaisteach Inis Gé.

We don't really have much information about this particular island as we do about other islands, and we have even less about the island since the islanders came ashore after the disastrous drowning of Inis Gé.

Tá an t-oileán chúig mhíle ar fhad ón gCarraig ar an taobh ó dheas den Oileán, ó dheas ar a dtugtar an Baile Thiar agus ó thuaidh go dtí Carraig Gaoithe, 'sé sin an charraig is faide ó thuaidh ar an oileán eile, 'sé sin an t-oileán ó thuaidh nó an Baile Thoir mar a thugann siad air.

The island is five miles in length from the Rock on the south side of the Island, south to what is called the West Town and north to Wind Rock, that is the northernmost rock on the other island, that is the northern island or the East Town as they call it.

Ar ndóigh, ba cheart dom a rá libh ag an bpointe seo go bhfuil dhá oileán in Inis Gé agus gurb éard a chleach na hOileán í féin mar ainm orthu ná an Baile Thiar agus an Baile Thoir.

Of course, I should tell you at this point that there are two islands in Inis Gé and what the islanders themselves used as names for them are the West Town and the East Town.

Mar gur liom gurb í an ghaoth aniar nó an ghaoth anoir is mó a chuirfeadh isteach orthu ar an oileán.

Because I think it is the west wind or the east wind that would affect them most on the island.

Níl idir an dá oileán ach leathchéad slat.

There is only fifty yards between the two islands.

Tá cnoc timpeall trí chéad troigh ar an mBaile Thiar agus tá cineál túr ar an gcnoc sin.

There is a hill about three hundred feet around West Town and there is a kind of tower on that hill.

'Sén fáth a raibh sé sin ann le Marc.

That's why that was there with Marc.
