Story Transcript:

Ga: Bhí Niamh ag saothrú a brionglóide.
En: Niamh was pursuing her dream.

Ga: Níorbh aon ghnáth-aoibh í an obair seo.
En: This was no ordinary task.

Ga: Bhí sí ag déanamh físeán bolscaireachta ar a raibh an chonspóid is mó i rith a gairme.
En: She was creating a promotional video that was the most controversial project of her career.

Ga: Bhí an oíche ag titim sna hAillte Moire.
En: Night was falling at na hAillte Moire (Cliffs of Moher).

Ga: Na haillte maorga ag titim go fíochmhar isteach sa fharraige Atlantach.
En: The majestic cliffs dropped fiercely into the Atlantic Ocean.

Ga: Tháinig Niamh chuici féin ar bharr na n-aillte.
En: Niamh came to herself at the top of the cliffs.

Ga: Bhí scáth ann, scáth láidir nach raibh ann le feiceáil díreach, ach i gcroílár a intinne.
En: There was a shadow, a strong shadow that was not visible directly, but in the core of her mind.

Ga: Tá eagla uirthi ar airde, mar sin féin, bhí mianach inti an físeán a ghabháil go foirfe.
En: She was afraid of heights; nevertheless, she was determined to capture the video perfectly.

Ga: Bhí Ciarán, an treoraí taistil spraíúil, ann mar dhea-chomhluadar.
En: Ciarán, the cheerful travel guide, was there as good company.

Ga: Bhí a chuid eirimiúlaíeachta dírithe ar áilleacht na hÉireann a thaispeáint don domhan ar fad.
En: His intent was to showcase the beauty of Éire (Ireland) to the whole world.

Ga: Thosaigh an ghaoth ag séideadh níos láidre, ag meabhrú do Niamh go raibh séasúr an fhómhair ághá.
En: The wind started blowing harder, reminding Niamh that the autumn season was advancing.

Ga: Rug sí greim níos láidre ar an gceamara mar a rinne Ciarán a iarracht í a spreagadh.
En: She gripped the camera more tightly as Ciarán made an effort to encourage her.

Ga: "Tá tú ag déanamh go hiontach, Niamh," a dúirt sé, ag cur an-céim ar a glór.
En: "You're doing great, Niamh," he said, putting emphasis on his voice.

Ga: "Tá spota eile ann le radharc iontach, níos sábháilte.
En: "There's another spot with a fantastic view, safer."

Ga: "Bhí a croí fós buailte go tapa, ach d'admhaigh sí, "Ciarán, tá eagla orm.
En: Her heart was still pounding fast, but she admitted, "Ciarán, I'm scared.

Ga: Ní féidir liom fanacht an cóngarach.
En: I can't stay this close."

Ga: " Le gáire maith, d'fhreagair Ciarán, "Maith thú as bheith macánta.
En: With a good-natured laugh, Ciarán replied, "Good for you for being honest.

Ga: Feicfimid cód a dhéanamh liom?
En: Shall we make a move with me?"

Ga: "Le chéile, aimsigh siad suíomh sábháilte le haghaidh lámhach.
En: Together, they found a safe location for shooting.

Ga: Bhí síad in ann na radharcanna a ghabháil go hálainn, gan contúirt.
En: They were able to capture the views beautifully, without danger.

Ga: Is iomaí uair a bhí Niamh ag brath ar Chiarán nuair a bhí an ghaoth ag éirí níos láidre, ach lean sí de bheith ag obair, riamh ag scaoileadh an grianghrafadóireacht a theastaigh í.
En: Many times, Niamh relied on Ciarán when the wind picked up, but she continued working, never giving up the photography she wanted.

Ga: De réir mar a shocraigh an ghrian oíche, bhí na scamaill bagrach, cosúil le scáil spiorad hOíche Shamhna, ann sa spéir.
En: As the sun settled for the evening, the clouds were threatening, like an Oíche Shamhna...
