- 2009 November 1, Alex Hijmans, Favela, Cois Life, →ISBN, page 53:
- Tá céim thábhachtach ina shaol díreach curtha de aige: rinne sé an Ardteist, agus d'éirigh go maith leis. Sin rud nach féidir le mórán de mhuintir an Loteamento a rá. Ná le mórán daoine sa chathair ar fad, go deimhin.
- He has just taken an important step in his life: he did the Leaving Cert, and he did well. That's not what many Loteamento people can say. Not with many people in the whole city, in fact.
