Story Transcript:
Ga: Bhí an t-aer te go leor, fiú in Aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath, lán le torann na dturasóirí agus fuaim na comharthaí ag fógairt eitiltí.
En: The air was quite warm, even in Aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath (Dublin Airport), full of the noise of tourists and the sound of announcements for flights.
Ga: Bhí Niamh, Eoin, agus Saoirse ina suí ag bord beag sa seomra feithimh.
En: Niamh, Eoin, and Saoirse were sitting at a small table in the waiting room.
Ga: Bhí ríomhairí glúine agus páipéir scaipthe ar an mbord, cosúil le páipéarachas ollmhór, agus iad faoi bhrú ama leis an taisteal gnó thar sáile.
En: Laptops and papers were scattered on the table, resembling a massive paperwork, and they were under time pressure with the business travel overseas.
Ga: D'ardaigh Saoirse a ceann os cionn na scáileáin agus d'fhéach sí ar Niamh.
En: Saoirse lifted her head above the screens and looked at Niamh.
Ga: “Tá rud éigin mícheart sa tuileadh seo,” a dúirt sí, a glór beagán féin-amhrasach.
En: “There’s something wrong with this data,” she said, her voice slightly doubtful.
Ga: Bhí na sonraí a chonaic sí go soiléir ar an scáileán aici.
En: The data she saw clearly on her screen.
Ga: "Níl na sonraí seo ceart," a dúirt sí le misneach nua faoina guth.
En: "These details aren’t right," she said with renewed confidence in her voice.
Ga: Bhí Eoin ag stánadh ar a phócaí ríomhphoist, i gcónaí gnóthach agus ag brionglóid ar rath.
En: Eoin was staring at his email folders, always busy and dreaming of success.
Ga: "Tá, tá, táimid réidh. Caithfimid díriú ar an gcur i láthair sin!" a dúirt sé go mórmhór.
En: "Yes, yes, we’re ready. We must focus on that presentation!" he said emphatically.
Ga: Ach bhí Niamh ina hamhras. Bhí a croí ag bualadh go gasta.
En: But Niamh had her doubts. Her heart was beating fast.
Ga: Bhí eagla uirthi roimh labhairt os comhair an chliaint mhóir sa chathair mhór.
En: She was afraid of speaking in front of the big client in the big city.
Ga: Chun an brú a mhothú ó Eoin agus réiteach do na fadhbanna a d’aimsigh Saoirse, bhí uafás uirthi faoi céard ba cheart di a dhéanamh.
En: To feel pressure from Eoin and to solve the problems that Saoirse identified, she was terrified of what she ought to do.
Ga: Lean na smaointe ina ceann go dtí gur stad sí, breac-chomhrá leictreach le Eoin.
En: The thoughts continued in her head until she stopped, an electric back-and-forth with Eoin.
Ga: "Caithfimid an fhírinne a insint," a dúirt sí go daingean.
En: "We must tell the truth," she said firmly.
Ga: Bhí sí ag obair seo le fada ró-fhada le ligean go ngabhfadh botún beag gach rud.
En: She had worked on this for too long to let one small mistake ruin everything.
Ga: “Más mian linn a bheith iontaofa, caithfimid a bheith macánta.”
En: “If we want to be trustworthy, we have to be honest.”
Ga: Bhí Eoin tostach ar feadh nóiméide, ach sa deireadh, chlaon sé a cheann.
En: Eoin was silent for a moment, but eventually, he nodded.
Ga: “Tá tú ceart,” a admhaigh sé.
En: “You’re right,” he admitted.
Ga: “Amhail is go bhfuil an fios ón Saoirse tábhachtach. Déanaimis an cur i láthair a chur in oiriúint.”
En: “It seems Saoirse's insight is important. Let’s tailor the presentation.”
Ga: Chuaigh siad i mbun oibre sa seomra aerfort, Niamh ag déanamh na hathruithe de réir mar a thug Saoirse na sonra
