so that what it says, I translated it "a little bit" differently, and I will avoid putting it here.
Thanks, you've been very helpful. |

aistriúchán éile de dhíth:
"Ná níor lig sé an bhá lena ais, gur inis Nóra Mhaitiais Labhráis do oíche amháin, i gcois íseal, gur tháinig scéala i litir chuig Joe Thuathaláin go raibh fógraithe Cáit Anna agus a fear a chur as seilbh faoi bheith ina ndrochdhíolaithe cíosa le dhó nó trí de bhlianta anuas."
thanks again

He did not let compassion near him, until Nóra Mhaitiais Labhráis told him one night discreetly that Joe Thuathaláin got news in a letter that Cáit Anna and her husband were due to be evicted for being irregular payers of rent for two or three years back. |

I tried translating this:
"...i riocht is go mba charghas leis é a dhúiseacht..."
but because there'r many meanings of each word, I failed.
So I'll be happy to get help in that.
Another thing, does this following sentence look strange to me only?
"Ní hionann tréathra do gach uile dhuine, go fiú is do chlann na haon bhronn".
Is this "is" needed because of fiú, or is it the copular "is"?
If it's a copular "is" then a defined word shouldn't be there (or an é should be inserted?!)? Or is it ok because of the "do"?

i riocht go = in the situation that
is carghas liom X = doing X is a real pain
"...i riocht is go mba charghas leis é a dhúiseacht..."
So that he really didn't want to wake him
I'm almost sure that the "is" is a contraction of "agus" |

If I wanted to say something is a pain to do I can just say ''Is carghas liom X'' for example ''Is carghas liom obair bhaile'' (Doing homework is a real pain) is this correct or would I have to put a dhéanamh in the end?

I think you would have to add "a dhéanamh". |
