Possibly:

Níor glanadh an teach an seachtain seo caite
Note that I am only a learner of Irish. Wait for confirmations!

Oops (about an tseachtain)... but you don't lenite the past passive after 'níor' as far as I know...

I suspect these are for homework. Forum rules are that students are required to attempt the translation first and then post it here before they receive any help from us (and even then, it's just HELP...we don't do the translation for them).

I suggest we stop answering these until emf clarifies what they are for.
