Story Transcript:
Ga: Bhí an samhradh caite ar Dugaí Bhaile Átha Cliath, áit a raibh spás comhoibrithe ag teacht chun beatha faoi fuinneoga móra ag ligean solas na gréine istigh.
En: The summer was spent on Dugaí Bhaile Átha Cliath (Dublin Docks), where a coworking space was coming to life under large windows letting in the sunlight.
Ga: Bhí an áit lán le díograis díograiseoirí agus daoine cruthaitheacha digiteacha.
En: The place was filled with the enthusiasm of enthusiasts and digital creatives.
Ga: Bhí radharc álainn ar fhlora Bhleá Cliath ón áit sin.
En: There was a beautiful view of flóra Bhleá Cliath (Dublin's flora) from there.
Ga: Sa lár den spás sin, bhí Siobhán agus Eoin ag comhrá.
En: In the center of that space, Siobhán and Eoin were having a conversation.
Ga: Bhí Siobhán, le gean íontach ar a cuid oibre, ag smaoineamh ar thairiscint poist thar lear.
En: Siobhán, with a great love for her work, was considering a job offer abroad.
Ga: Ach bhí imní uirthi go gcaillfeadh sí a dlúthchairdeas le daoine, go háirithe le Eoin.
En: But she was worried she would lose her close friendships, especially with Eoin.
Ga: Bhí Eoin an cairdiúil, i gcónaí in aoibh, ach bhí diagnóis faighte aige le déanaí a chuir mearbhall air.
En: Eoin was very friendly, always cheerful, but he had recently received a diagnosis that confused him.
Ga: Bhí sé le bheith faoi scian le haghaidh oibriú apaincíteas.
En: He was to undergo surgery for appendicitis.
Ga: Cé go léirigh sé crógacht agus greann, bhí eagla faoi bheith gan freagracht ag an am tábhachtach seo don fhoireann.
En: Though he showed bravery and humor, he feared being without responsibility at such a crucial time for the team.
Ga: Bhí Siobhán i gcruachas.
En: Siobhán was in a dilemma.
Ga: Fear Síle leis an gcaidreamh a choinneáil ach freisin an deis a ghlacadh.
En: She wanted to maintain her relationships but also take the opportunity.
Ga: Thug Eoin muinín di, ag iarraidh go mairfeadh a ghreann agus áit sa fhoireann fiú le linn a téarnamh.
En: Eoin gave her confidence, wishing his humor and place in the team would remain even during his recovery.
Ga: Chun gach éinne a spreagadh, shocraigh Siobhán cóisir beag Lúnasa a eagrú san oifig, le ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar an bhfómhar agus Eoin temporary a fhágáil slán sula rachaidh sé faoi scian.
En: To inspire everyone, Siobhán decided to organize a small August party in the office, to celebrate the harvest and give Eoin a temporary farewell before his surgery.
Ga: Rinneamar gáire, d’ólamar, ar lá lán gréine.
En: We laughed, we drank, on a day full of sunshine.
Ga: Eoin, cé go raibh neart oibríochtaí roimhe, d’éirigh leis a mheangadh a choinneáil.
En: Eoin, though having many operations before, managed to keep his smile.
Ga: Bhí seolta breá ag an bhfoireann faoin am seo.
En: The team sailed smoothly by this time.
Ga: Tháinig an lá mór.
En: The big day arrived.
Ga: Chuaigh Eoin faoi scian, ach d'éirigh leis.
En: Eoin underwent surgery, but he succeeded.
Ga: Níor éirigh a ghreann as a áit, agus bhí cúpla lá tar éis bualadh leis an foireann arís, dinnéaróg aeir agus beannacht ar ais.
En: His humor didn't leave, and a few days after, meeting the team again, he was greeted with cheers and warm welcome.
Ga: Bhí slán fágtha le Siobhán freisin, dóchasach gur cheart di an post nua a ghlacadh.
En: Goodbyes we
