6: Ná hÚsáid an Cárta Creidmheasa gan Chead (Leaving Cert Irish): Revision Notes
6: Ná hÚsáid an Cárta Creidmheasa gan Chead
Pictiúr 1
Sa chéad phictiúr, tá Seán agus Máire ina suí os comhair an ríomhaire sa bhaile. Tá siad ag breathnú ar shuíomh gréasáin faoi cheolchoirm mhór i Staid Aviva i mBaile Átha Cliath.
In the first picture, Seán and Máire are sitting in front of the computer at home. They are looking at a website about a big concert in the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
De réir an tsuímh ghréasáin, beidh an banna ceoil is fearr leo ag seinm ansin go luath. Tá siad ar bís leis an nuacht.
According to the website, their favourite band will be playing there soon. They are excited by the news.
Ós rud é nach gcosnaíonn na ticéid ach caoga euro an ceann, socraíonn siad iad a cheannach láithreach. Chun íoc as na ticéid, beidh orthu cárta creidmheasa a úsáid.
Since the tickets only cost fifty euro each, they decide to buy them immediately. In order to pay for the tickets, they will have to use a credit card.
Cuimhníonn Seán go bhfuil cárta a n-athar ar an matal agus, ar ámharaí an tsaoil, tá an uimhir ar eolas ag Máire.
Seán remembers that their father’s card is on the mantelpiece and, luckily, Máire knows the number.

Téann siad sa seans agus ceannaíonn Seán dhá thicéad i ngan fhios dá n-athair. Tá céad euro ar an iomlán le híoc acu.
They take a chance and Seán buys two tickets without their father’s knowledge. They have one hundred euro in total to pay.
Feicimid Seán ag cur sonraí an chárta isteach sa chóras íocaíochta agus Máire ag féachaint air go neirbhíseach.
We see Seán entering the card details into the payment system and Máire watching nervously.
Déarfainn nach mbeidh a n-athair róshásta nuair a fheicfidh sé an bille!
I would say their father will not be too happy when he sees the bill!

Tá an lá mór tagtha agus tá siad i Staid Aviva. Tá siad ag baint taitnimh as an gceol agus ag canadh leis an mbanna.

Sa phictiúr seo, tá a n-athair ag iniúchadh a bhille Visa. Tugann sé céad euro sa bhreis faoi deara agus baintear geit as.
In this picture, their father is examining his Visa bill. He notices an extra one hundred euro and gets a fright.
Tá mearbhall air agus ní thuigeann sé céard a tharla.

Gan mhoill, téann sé chun an scéal a phlé lena pháistí. Tá sé ar thóir na fírinne.
Without delay, he goes to discuss the matter with his children. He is in search of the truth.
Admhaíonn Seán agus Máire gur bhain siad úsáid as an gcárta creidmheasa gan chead. Gabhann siad a leithscéal agus tá díomá an domhain ar a dtuistí.
Seán and Máire admit that they used the credit card without permission. They apologise and their parents are hugely disappointed.
Pictiúr 6
Mar chúiteamh, caithfidh Seán agus Máire dualgais tí a dhéanamh ar feadh tamaill. Tá Máire ag déanamh an fholúsghlantacháin agus tá Seán ag glanadh na bhfuinneog.
As compensation, Seán and Máire must do household chores for a while. Máire is vacuuming and Seán is cleaning the windows.
Tá a dtuistí ag coimeád súil ghéar orthu. Ní call a rá go bhfuil ceacht foghlamtha acu.
Their parents are keeping a close eye on them. It goes without saying that they have learned their lesson.
