What does this Irish sentence mean?

    (Google translate has been of little help on this bit)

    "Inné atá ann go fóill" first of all. And also, "gread leat". Gread isn't in the dictionary.

    Inné atá ann go fóill = It's yesterday still / It's still yesterday.

    Gread leat = Get lost (or perhaps something else I won't type here;) )

    Thank you:)

    How about "ar seisean"? :o

    Ar seisean = He said.

    "Cá bhfuil an cat?" ar seisean = "Where's the cat?" he said

    That means he said/according to him.

    its still yesterday, does that make sense to anyone? could someone use it in a sentence.

    seems like present and past tense

    I'm not sure how you'd use it in a sentence, but that's what it means. Maybe the OP could post up more of the sentence.

    Agree with your translation.
