Daoine Óga

Feictear domsa go bhfuil a lán fadhbanna againn ar an aimsir seo

^{IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS TERRIBLE IN THIS WORLD}

Tá siad chomh sean leis na cnoic; cúrsaí sláinte agus Oideachais

^{THE PROBLEMS ARE AS OLD AS THE HILLS; HEALTH MATTERS AND EDUCATION}

Tá sé le feiceáil I ngach cuid den tír

^{IT CAN BE SEEN IN EVERY PART OF THE COUNTRY}

Bhí an taire ag rá go raibh roinnt milliún caite ag an Roinn Leanaí

^{THE MINSITER WAS SAYING THAT SEVERAL MILLION HAS BEEN SPENT BY THE DEPARTMENT FOR CHILDREN}

Ach, poll dubh é an Roinn ina bhfuil an t-airgead ag imeacht; táimid dúdhoite de

^{THE DEPARTMENT IS A BLACK HOLE IN WHICH THE MONEY IS DISSAPEARING; WE ARE SICK OF IT}

 

Leis na drugaí agus andúil, fuair daoine óga bás chuile lá

^{WITH DRUGS AND ADDICTION, YOUNG PEOPLE ARE DYING EVERY DAY}

Bíonn managairí ag díol drugaí le daoine óga

^{DEALERS ARE SELLING DRUGS TO YOUNG PEOPLE}

Fulaingíonn siad agus cuireann sé déistin orm

^{THEY ARE SUFFERING AND IT DISGUSTS ME}

Go minic tosaíonn déagóirí ag caitheamh drugaí ag a ceathair nó cúig déag

^{OFTEN TEENAGERS START USING DRUGS AT 14 OR 15}

Ach ar ndóigh, deanann hearóin damáiste níos mó ná cannabis

^{BUT OF COURSE, HEROIN DOES MORE DAMAGE THAN CANNABIS}

 

Níor choir na coirpigh seo a chaitheamh i bpríosún, i mo thuairim

^{I DON’T THINK THESE PRISONERS SHOULD BE PUT IN PRISON}

Is obair in aisce é; níl sé éifeachtach

^{IT’S WORK FOR NOTHING}

Téarmaí príosúin don mionchoireanna; tá sé ró-dian

^{PRISON TERMS FOR MINOR CRIMES; THEY’RE TOO HARSH}

Ach, níl sprid ná púca gan fios a chúise

^{BUT THERE’S NO GHOST OR GOBLIN THAT DOESN’T KNOW IT’S REASON}

Is léir go bhfuil cúiseanna leis an bhfadhb, ach conas is féidir í a reiteach?

^{IT’S CLEAR THAT THERE ARE REASONS FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT HOW CAN IT BE SOLVED?}

Tá go leor déagóirí tugtha don ólcachán

^{THERE ARE MANY TEENAGERS TAKEN TO THE DRINK}

Ag dul in olcas atá sé, i mo thuairim; táim chomh cinnte is atá cros ar asal

^{IT’S GETTING WORSE, IN MY OPINION; I’M AS SURE AS THERE IS A CROSS ON A DONKEY}

Tarlaíonn an-chuid ólacháin ag an deireadh seachtaine

^{TOO MUCH DRINKING HAPPENS ON THE WEEKEND}

Ba choir go mbeadh sé níos deacra do dhaoine óga deochanna a cheannach

^{IT’S CLEAR THAT IT NEEDS TO BE HARDER FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO BUY DRINK}

Caithfear an scéal a fheabhsú, ach is furasta fuineadh in aice na mine

^{THE SITUATION MUST BE IMPROVED, BUT IT’S EASY TO KNEAD BESIDE THE MILL}

 

Tá a lán lochtanna ann leis an córas oideachais

^{THERE ARE MANY FLAWS WITH THE EDUCATION SYSTEM}

Tá an-bhrú orainn don ardteist

^{WE ARE UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE FOR THE LEAVING CERT}

Tá an fócas ró-acadúil dar liom

^{THE FOCUS IS TOO ACADMIC, I THINK}

Ba chóir roinnt de na cursaí a dhéanamh níos nua

^{SOME OF THE COURSES NEED TO BE MADE MORE MODERN}

Is fuath liom an cúrsa matamatice ach tá sé éigeantach

^{I HATE THE MATHS COURSE BUT IT IS COMPULSORY}

 

Freisin, tá a lán fadhbanna ann leis an córas na bpointí

^{THERE ARE ALSO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE POINTS SYSTEM}

Cuireann sé an iomarca béime ar chumas acadúil

^{THERE IS TOO MUCH EMPHASIS ON ACADEMIC CAPABILITY}

Tá sé in am athbhreithniú a dhéanamh air

^{IT’S ABOUT TIME IT WAS CHANGED}

Cathain a athróidh sé?

^{WHEN WILL IT BE CHANGED?}

Ag Dia amháin atá a fhios!

^{ONLY GOD KNOWS!}
