Insíonn Muireann dúinn faoina saol scoile faoi láthair sa gcúigiú bliain i gColáiste an Eachréidh, Baile Átha an Rí: na hábhair scoile agus a cuid suimeanna acadúla: stair agus ealaíon. Tá moladh mór aici ar fhoireann na scoile. Labhaireann sí lena deartháir Brian ar a dtaithí saoil i Ros Muc, in iarthar Chondae na Gaillimhe, agus ar an aistriú aniar go dtí an Ghalltacht in oirthear an Chondae, agus cé mar d'fhoghlaim sí Béarla go sciobthaí as sin amach. D'athraigh sí a cuid Gaeilge freisin go dtuigfí níos fearr i nGaelscoil Riada í. Is i ndiaidh an aistrithe a d'fhéad sí ballet a fhoghlaim i scoil bhallet i gCathair na Gaillimhe, rud a thaitníonns go mór léi agus ba mhaith léi a chleachtadh go gairmiúil mar mhúinteoir. Insíonn sí faoina cuid taistil, go haírithe faoina cuairt ar Mheiriceá.

(Muireann tells us about her current school life in fifth year at Coláiste an Eachréidh, Athenry, Co. Galway: the school subjects and her academic interests: history and art. She has great praise for the school staff. She talks to her brother Brian about their life in Ros Muc, in the west of Co.Galway, and the move to the Galltacht (English speaking area) in the east of the county, and how she quickly learned English. She also changed her Irish so that she would be better understood in Gaelscoil Riada. It was after the move that she was able to learn ballet in a ballet school in Galway city. She really likes ballet and would like to practice professionally as a teacher. She tells about her travels, especially about her visit to the USA.)

Part of the Taisce Bheo na nGael project in which the UHI Language Sciences Institute, together with Irish partners, record the natural speech of Irish and Scottish Gaelic speakers in their own communities with user-friendly equipment and techniques.
