    I’m making good progress reading “An Phluais Ama” le Clare Dagger, but there is one sentence I can’t figure out at the moment. I’m sure it has to do with idiomatic phrases, and there just isn’t enough context clues to figure it all out.

    Here’s the sentence:
    “Cén bhaint atá ag an am leis an scéal?”

    Go raibh maith agaibh!

    What has the time to do with the story?

    compare with:

    Níl aon bhaint ag X le Y = X has nothing to do with Y.
