dia daoibh c hairde. Been a while since I've been on due to work and not what. Came across this sentence while reading a review of king kong....céard is brí leis?

''Conas is féidir cosa crainn a chur fé chearc mar sin?''

Here's the article.... http://tuairisc.ie/deantar-an-kong-e-fein-a-shamhlu-go-snasta-ce-nach-gcuirtear-fe-dhraiocht-sinn/

GRMMA

Literally:
How can one put wooden legs under a hen like that?

Ach cad is brí leis ...

Dá bharr sin is uile níl aon mhínáire ar iomaire Hollywood crúba Kong a chur inár bpócaí arís. Conas is féidir cosa crainn a chur fé chearc mar sin?

I think you have to look at the whole context. A possible translation of the above would be: On top of all that, there isn't any shamelessnesss on the work of Hollywood to put the clutches of Kong in our pockets again. Then how are wooden legs put under a hen. ( How is this impossible task achieved)
There is an old "nath cainte" that says: He or she would put feet (wooden) under hens for you ( meaning that no matter what the problem or question was they had all the answers or solutions)

Tá mé i ndiaidh seo a fheiceáil i 'Cora Cainte As Tír Chonaill':

Ag cur cosa crainn faoi na cearca - Ag déanamh scéimeanna móra gan gléas ar bith lena gcur i ngníomh.

FGB: Chuirfeadh sé cosa crainn faoi na cearca - He would work wonders.
