Irish translation of one line on a census form 1911

Hello,

 I need help with the 1911 census return form.

The bottom line is handwritten Irish and wasn't translated for the transcription. I can't make it out myself, even though I can anticipate the answer in some cases.

Seamus, I can see you are a volunteer and assume you are connected to Mary Crowe. I can check on Ancestry if you have not already to see if there is a transcription. I need more info about the census- where was it taken, the head of family last name, or any info you think is relevant. Is there a 1901 census for this family?

Regards- Mary
