Slán le Máigh

/Gaeilge/ 
Ó slán is céad on taobh so uaim  Cois Maighe na gcaor na gcraobh na gcruach
 Na stát, na séad, na soar, na slua  Na ndán, na ndréacht, na dtréan gan ghruaim
 Och, ochón is breoite mise Gan chuid, gan chóir, gan chóip, gan chiste  
Gan sult, gan seoid, gan spórt, gan spionnadh  Ó seoladh mé chun uaignis


/Bearla/
A hundred farewells from this place I'm in, Beside Maigue of the berries,The branches, the stacks
 The estates, the jewels, The craftsmen, the crowds The arts, the stories, The good-humored warriors
 Oh it is ill I am  Without a share, or right  Or company, or money 
Without happiness, or jewels  Or sport, or vitality  Since I was sent into loneliness

/Niamh/
Oh is it ill I feel 
Post-recession place I'm in 
River, road, rapid growth, 
Glory to the Maigue 
Father, great-grandfather, sweetest auburn river flowing


Also included are a smattering of inputs from friends and family, local historian Kevin Cribbon on the old quay in Adare, Co.Limerick, and a list of some of the 160 post offices which closed in Ireland in 2018.
