Story Transcript:
Ga: Lá gléineach é in Earrach i mBaile Átha Cliath.
En: It's a bright day in spring in Baile Átha Cliath.
Ga: Bhí Eoin, Saoirse, agus Cara ag siúl trí na hallaí cloiche i bPríosún Chill Mhaighneann.
En: Eoin, Saoirse, and Cara were walking through the stone halls of Príosún Chill Mhaighneann.
Ga: Bhí an áit lán le scáthanna an ama atá thart.
En: The place was full of shadows of the past.
Ga: Bhí an aer trom le scéalta an am atá caite.
En: The air was heavy with stories of yesteryear.
Ga: Bhí Saoirse mar threoraí, a dúirt na scéalta cosúil le sean-aoi.
En: Saoirse was the guide, telling stories like an old guest.
Ga: Bhí Cara mar thaiscéalaí bréan leis na finscéalta atá cloiste cheana féin aici.
En: Cara was an explorer weary of the legends she had already heard.
Ga: Bhí Eoin, ámh, lán de dhóchas.
En: Eoin, however, was full of hope.
Ga: Shíl sé b’fhéidir go mbeadh nasc aige le rud éigin níos doimhne anseo.
En: He thought that maybe he would have a connection with something deeper here.
Ga: Le linn na cuairte, stopadar ag ceall dorcha.
En: During the visit, they stopped at a dark cell.
Ga: Bhí an ceallachaach clic tír na cloiche pistaigh.
En: The cell's walls were slick with the moisture of the stone.
Ga: I gceann an chúinne, bhí rud beag ag soilsiú faoina shúile.
En: In one corner, something was shining under his eyes.
Ga: D'aimsigh sé é.
En: He found it.
Ga: Ba é sin cruth ciotach miotalach, cosúil le rud ó réabhlóid stairiúil.
En: It was an odd metallic shape, like something from a historical revolution.
Ga: Rinne sé croithidín leis an excitement, ag smaoineamh ar an stair a d'fhéadfadh a bheith rannpháirteach anseo.
En: He shivered with excitement, thinking of the history that might be involved here.
Ga: Bhí Saoirse suimiúil faoi.
En: Saoirse was intrigued by it.
Ga: Bhí aisling aici leabhar a scríobh faoi, agus ba iontach an seans seo é alt a thosú leis.
En: She had dreams of writing a book about it, and this was a great chance to start a chapter.
Ga: Ach rinne sé aineolas ar an dualgas a bhí uirthi rud ar bith ann a thuairisciú do na húdaráis.
En: But she was ignorant of the duty she had to report anything there to the authorities.
Ga: “Ní féidir linn iniúchadh a dhéanamh ar seo anois,” a mhínigh sí, géar.
En: “We can’t explore this now,” she explained sharply.
Ga: “Tá an rian ag deireadh an lae.
En: “The tour is at the end of the day.
Ga: Is féidir le rud ar bith a dhéanamh ach an aithne ar an áit seo a mhilleadh.”
En: Anything we do could only ruin the integrity of this place.”
Ga: Ach ansin, mhaigh Eoin seansmall.
En: But then Eoin hesitantly argued.
Ga: “Is fiú é a thriail, Saoirse.
En: “It’s worth trying, Saoirse.
Ga: B’fhéidir go bhfuil nasc ag an miotal seo le mo theaghlach.
En: Maybe this metal has a connection to my family.
Ga: Ba mhaith liom foghlaim níos mó.”
En: I want to learn more.”
Ga: Bhí amhras ar Cara.
En: Cara was doubtful.
Ga: Bhí sí de shíor cynikúil.
En: She was always cynical.
Ga: “Ní rud ar bith atá ann ach seanstáirsheans.
En: “It’s nothing but an old relic.
Ga: Déanamach an rian a leanúint gan cur isteach.”
En: Let’s just follow the tour without interruption.”
Ga: Ach chomhcheangail
