a raibh cúpla bairille leanna duibhe ina mbóthar -- who would have a few barrels of ale in their road; i.e. they would get a few barrels of ale at the wedding and they would surely bring them back with them to the island in order to treat the others.

Leann dubh -- porter, stout. (but lionn dubh -- melancholy!!!)
Leann
- - (pale) ale is generally masculine - - firinscneach - - and one would expect bairille leanna duibh i.e. tuiseal ginideach. Here it is feminine - baininscneach.

pé rud eile a leanfadh iad - - whatever else would follow them i.e.
whatever other gifts and goodies they might bring back
with them from the mainland.
