He explained that he was gay and full of music and that he had been married to his wife for a year.
Mhínigh sé go raibh sé aerach agus lán de cheol agus go raibh a bhean curtha aige le bliain.
Máire did not tell Pádraig that she was carrying his child but she took the lonely road of the single mother on her shoulders

He tortured poor Mary when he called her a prostitute
Chéasaigh sé Máire bhocht nuair a ghlaoigh sé striapach uirthi
He offered her romance and hope but he seduced her and in the end destroyed her and their daughter’s life
Thairg sé rómansaíocht agus dóchas di ach mheall sé í agus ag an deireadh scrios sé a saol agus saol a n-iníne
He told her about matters of the heart(love affairs) in Pádraig’s life and said that the young Mistress was very popular/taken (in great pursuit) with him.
D’inis sé di faoi chúrsaí croí i saol Phádraig agus duirt sé go raibh an-tóir ag an Máistreás óg air.
