Story Transcript:

Ga: Bhí an lá feannóigeach, le gaoith úr ag séideadh na nduilleog buí agus rua timpeall i gcathair na Gaillimhe.
En: The day was crisp, with a fresh wind blowing the yellow and russet leaves around in the city of Gaillimh.

Ga: Bhí fhios ag Aoife go mbeadh sé deacair an teaghlach ar fad a thabhairt le chéile, ach bhí sé riachtanach.
En: Aoife knew it would be difficult to gather the whole family together, but it was necessary.

Ga: Bhí an teach tábhairne an-chaomh acu, le seanfhurniture adhmaid agus teallach a thug teas agus compord do chuairteoirí na háite.
En: They had a very cherished pub, with old wooden furniture and a fireplace that brought warmth and comfort to visitors.

Ga: Bhí Aoife suite faoin tuath aige, ag imscrúdú a dearbhán, ag glacadh anála fhad le boladh bia baile ag líonadh an tseomra.
En: Aoife was sitting in the countryside, examining her voucher, taking a breath as the scent of home-cooked food filled the room.

Ga: Briseadh Aoife as a smaointe nuair a thánán Luas Cillian isteach sa tábhairne.

En: he said, with a smile that was always testing the friendship they shared.

Ga: Bhí Cillian níos ciúine ná mar ba ghnách, a éadan ag taispeáint éiginnteacht faoin todhchaí.
En: Cillian was quieter than usual, his face showing uncertainty about the future.

Ga: Le beagán moille, chuaigh Niamh isteach, a súile lán de bheocht agus fiosracht mar is minic.
En: After a short delay, Niamh came in, her eyes full of life and curiosity as often.

Ga: Bhí sí ag iarraidh a briste i bhfirchúlra an teaghlaigh a bhí ina cúpla bliain anuas.
En: She was trying to fix the distance in the family that had grown in the past couple of years.

Ga: "Cad é an phlean, a Dheirfiúir?
En: "What's the plan, Sister?"

Ga: " d’fhiafraigh sí, a gluamacht díreach.
En: she asked, with direct movement.

Ga: Bhí Aoife ag mothú faoi bhrú go mór anois.
En: Aoife was feeling very pressured now.

Ga: Bhí sí ag iarraidh an teaghlach a choinneáil le chéile le tabhairt ar aghaidh na tábhairne.
En: She wanted to keep the family together to carry forward the pub.

Ga: "Tá an plean seo tábhachtach," ar Aoife go réidh.
En: "This plan is important," Aoife said gently.

Ga: "Teastaíonn uaim go nglacfaidh sibh leis an dúshlán.
En: "I want you to take on the challenge."

Ga: "Chroith Cillian a cheann.
En: Cillian shook his head.

Ga: "Ach cad faoi mo bhrionglóidí féin?
En: "But what about my own dreams?

Ga: Níl a fhios agam an bhfuil an baile seo domsa, Aoife.
En: I'm not sure if this town is for me, Aoife."

Ga: "D'fhreagair Niamh go tapaidh, "Níl mé ag iarraidh a bheith i mbun poppub ainneoin!
En: Niamh quickly replied, "I don't want to be stuck running a pub forever!

Ga: Tá a saol féin uaim, gan ceangail.
En: I want my own life, without ties."

En: The sorry atmosphere in the pub's hearth was full of tension.
