I can't think what could fit into the middle gap. I am presuming it is a set phrase '___ rud é', but can't think what it is. :(

Grma! Gan an fada, ceapaim.

So now, we have:

50. Tá Síle ag dul ag múinteoireacht os rud é go bhfuil a hathair ina mhúinteoir.

yes ós [ó + is] rud é. ós has a síneadh fada here unlike os cionn/os comhair which don't have a fada usually, except that they do as variants just to keep things from getting too simple!

ag dul ag múinteoireacht .... yes this works, but it's not what I had in mind.

A nice turn of phrase is: ag dul le múinteoireacht. It's what you say when referring to the so-called caring professions (although not exclusively so) that end in ---cht. Ba mhaith liom dul le dochtúireacht / dul le sagartóireacht.

O.k. so the final version:

50. Tá Síle ag dul le múinteoireacht ós rud é go bhfuil a hathair ina mhúinteoir.

Apologies to Gumbi for ignoring the fada! :oops:

51. Smaoinigh sé ar a uncail a bhí ag cur faoi [living] san Iodáil.
52. Bhí beirt bhuachaillí agus chailíní sa seomra.

Wondering if you were looking for something other than 'beirt'....
