Deireann Conradh na Gaeilge:
Ní haon maith a bheith ag caoineadh nuair a bhfuil a imíonn an tsochraid
There’s no good in keening when the funeral has moved off.

Why is there "a bhfuil a imíonn"? I don’t understand. I guess it's a typo.

It may be "...nuair a imíonn an tsochraid".

Yep. I think it's a typo too. I cut and pasted it from Conradh na Gaeilge's site.
