Breandán and Ferdia are meeting for the first time in over twenty years.
| Breandán: | Cé mhéad bliain atá tú pósta anois? How many years are you married now? |
| Ferdia: | Le beagnach cúig bliana déag. For nearly fifteen years. |
| Breandán: | Sin tamall maith. An bhfuil clann agat? That’s a long time. Do you have children? |
| Ferdia: | Tá, mac amháin agus beirt iníonacha. An bhfuil clann agat féin? Yes, one son and two daughters. Do you have children yourself? |
| Breandán: | Tá cailín amháin agam, sin an méid. Tá sí dhá bhliain déag. Cén aois atá do pháistí féin? I have one girl, that’s all. She’s twelve years old. What age are your own children? |
| Ferdia: | Tá Stephen deich mbliana agus tá Julie dhá bhliain déag. Is í Eibhlín an duine is sine – tá sise sé bliana déag. Stephen is ten years old and Julie is twelve years old. Eibhlín is the eldest – she’s sixteen years old. |
| Breandán: | Tá sí fós sa mheánscoil, mar sin. She’s still in secondary school, then. |
| Ferdia: | Tá. Tá an bheirt eile fós sa bhunscoil. Yes. The other two are still in primary school. |
| Breandán: | Tá m’iníon féin ag dul chun na meánscoile i mbliana. My own daughter is going to secondary school this year. |
| Ferdia: | Ní bhíonn na blianta i bhfad ag imeacht! The years pass quickly! |
