Aoife asked.Ga: D'fhéach Niamh timpeall.En: Niamh looked around.Ga: Bhí an lucht féachana bailithe cheana féin agus sracfhéachaint ionchais ina súile.En: The audience had already gathered, anticipation gleaming in their eyes.Ga: "Tá, rachaimid ar aghaidh," a dúirt sí go ciúin.En: "Yes, we'll proceed," she said quietly.Ga: "Tá gach rud in áit."En: "Everything is in place."Ga: Ar deireadh, tháinig uain Cillian.En: Finally, it was Cillian's turn.Ga: Bhí an t-amadán caillte, ach bhí Niamh cinnte go n-éireoidh leis.En: The timing was off, but Niamh was sure he would do well.Ga: Cé go raibh na scamaill anuas, tháinig léas geal gréine go tobann tríd.En: Even though the clouds were overhead, a bright beam of sunshine suddenly broke through.Ga: Nuair a chas Cillian na chéad nótaí, scatáil na scamaill agus bhí an samhradh Athair ar srathar sonas.En: When Cillian played the first notes, the clouds scattered, and Father Summer was resting on a bed of happiness.Ga: Bhí an ghrian buaileálach agus bhí ceol Cillian á phléascadh fud fad na páirce.En: The sun shone brightly, and Cillian's music echoed across the field.Ga: Bhí an slua sásta, ag bualadh bos agus ag damhsáil.En: The crowd was delighted, clapping and dancing.Ga: Bhí féasta cluas imithe trí Bheangoráin Bhuiséal go dtí a cheapach.En: A feast for the ears had spread through Beangoráin Bhuiséal to its allotment.Ga: Bhí fós meangadh gáire ar aghaidh Niamh.En: There was still a smile on Niamh's face.Ga: D'fhoghlaim sí muinín a bheith aici as a cuid bailiúchán agus go raibh a chomhairle fiúntach.En: She learned to trust her collection and that her advice was worthwhile.Ga: Bhí rudaí níos fearr ag Cillian freisin; bhraith sé ...
