I gc\u00e1s na hoibre t\u00ed a bh\u00edodh \u00e1 d\u00e9anamh againn sna Col\u00e1ist\u00ed eile, geallaimse dhuit \u00e9, n\u00e1r th\u00e1inig aon athr\u00fa sna c\u00farsa\u00ed sin, agus bh\u00edothas ag brath orainne, mic l\u00e9inn, leis an \u00e1it ar fad a choinne\u00e1il glan, \u00f3 bhun go barr. Bh\u00ed foireann mh\u00f3r oll\u00fana againn sa Chol\u00e1iste sin, agus bh\u00edodh de dhualgas ar chuid againn bheith in\u00e1r ngiolla\u00ed seomra acu, le haire a thabhairt do na seomra\u00ed c\u00e9anna sin.
