Iosrael tarraingte siar ó bhóthar a scoilt Gaza ina dhá chuid. The Israeli army has withdrawn its soldiers from a road that was cutting the Gaza Strip in two, a Hamas official says. Tá a gcuid saighdiúirí tarraingthe siar ag arm Iosrael ó bhealach a bhí ag gearradh stráice Gaza ina dhá chuid, a deir oifigeach de chuid Hamas. According to a senior Hamas spokesman, the Israeli army was to have withdrawn from the Netzarim area according to the terms of the agreement reached on January 19. De réir urlabhraí sinsearach Hamas, bhí arm Iosrael le bheith imithe as ceantar Netzarim de réir dhálaí an chomhaontaithe a rinneadh ar an 19 Eanáir. A spokesman for the Hamas-led interior ministry said that “Israeli forces have dismantled their military bases and completely withdrawn all their soldiers from the Netzarim Corridor on the Salaheddin road, allowing vehicles to travel unhindered in both directions.” Dúirt urlabhraí ón roinn gnóthaí baile atá faoi cheannas Hamas go bhfuil “Tá a gcuid bunáiteanna míleata bainte as a chéile ag fórsaí Iosrael agus a gcuid saighdiúirí uilig tarraingthe siar go hiomlán ó Chonair Netzarim ar bhóthar Salaheddin, rud a fhágann go bhfuil ar chumas feithiclí taisteal gan bhac sa dá threo.” All access points between the north and south of the strip are in the Netzarim area. Is i gceantar Netzarim atá na pointí rochtana go léir idir tuaisceart agus deisceart an stráice. A journalist from the AFP (Agence France Presse) news agency in the Netzarim area reported that there were no Israeli soldiers in the area this morning. Thuairiscigh iriseoir ón áisíneachta nuachta AFP (Agence France Presse) atá i gceantar Netzarim, nach raibh saighdiúirí ar bith de chuid Iosrael sa cheantar ar maidin. Journalists saw cars, buses, trucks and donkey carts traveling along the Salaheddin road across the Netzarim Corridor where the Israeli army previously had a checkpoint. Chonaic iriseoirí carranna, busanna, trucail agus carranna asail ag taisteal bhóthar Salaheddin trasna Chonair Netzarim áit a mbíodh seicphointe ag arm Iosrael go dtí seo. An Israeli security official, who did not wish to be named, said they were “preparing to implement the ceasefire arrangement in accordance with the guidelines of the political leadership.” Dúirt oifigeach slándála de chuid Iosrael, nár mhian leis go n-ainmeofaí é, go raibh siad “ag réiteach chun an socrú sosa cogaidh a chur i bhfeidhm de réir threoirlínte na ceannasaíochta polaitiúla.”

Taraifí gearrtha ag Meiriceá ar an tSín agus a mhalairt go cruinn. China has slapped tariffs on US goods in retaliation after US President Donald Trump imposed an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods. Tá taraifí gearrtha ag an tSín ar earraí ó na Stáit Aontaithe mar bhuille ar an mbuille tar éis d’Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe Donald Trump taraifí breise de 10 faoin gcéad a ghearradh ar earraí ón tSín. Donald Trump claims the tariffs are a punishment for the illegal drugs he says are being brought into the United States from China, particularly fentanyl. Maíonn Donald Trump gur pionós atá sna taraifí as na drugaí mídhleathacha a deir sé a thugtar isteach sna Stáit Aontaithe ón tSín, go háirithe feantainil. The measure was not received with goodwill and as soon as the Americans implemented the tariffs at midnight last night, the Chinese announced that they would impose a 15% duty on coal and liquefied natural gas from the United States and a 10% duty on crude oil, farm equipment and some vehicles from that country. Ní i bpáirt mhaitheasa a glacadh leis an mbeart agus a thúisce a chuir na Meiriceánaigh na taraifí i bhfeidhm ag an meán oíche aréir, d’fhógair na Sínigh go ngearrfaidís féin dleacht de 15 faoin gcéad ar ghual agus ar ghás nádúrtha leachtaithe ó na Stáit Aontaithe agus dleacht de 10 faoin gcéad ar amhola, ar threalamh feirme agus ar roinnt feithiclí ón tír sin. Those Chinese tariffs will come into effect next Monday. Tiocfaidh feidhm le taraifí sin na Síneach Dé Luain seo chugainn. In addition to the tariffs, the Chinese government announced that it was to launch an official investigation into the alleged online monopoly of Google, which is owned by the American company Alphabet. Chomh maith leis na taraifí, d’fhógair Rialtas na Síne go raibh siad le fiosrúchán oifigiúil a bhunú faoin monaplacht ar líne a deirtear atá ag Google, ar leis an gcomhlacht Meiriceánach Alphabet é. It was also announced that restrictions were to be placed on the future export of certain minerals from China, such as tungsten, tellurium, molybdenum, bismuth and indium. Fógraíodh freisin go rabhthas le srianta a chur le mianraí áirithe a easpórtáil ón tSín feasta, mar atá, tungstan, teallúiriam, molaibdéineam, biosmat agus indiam. These minerals are rare but are being exploited to develop clean energy. Tá na mianraí sin tearc ach táthar taobh leo chun fuinneamh glan a fhorbairt. Yesterday, Donald Trump announced that the 25% tariffs he was to impose on Mexico and Canada from today had been postponed for another month. Inné, d’fhógair Donald Trump go raibh na taraifí de 25 faoin gcéad a bhí le gearradh aige ó inniu ar Mheicsiceo agus ar Cheanada, go raibh siad curtha ar athló aige go ceann míosa. It was reported that he and the leaders of those two other countries reached an agreement on issues related to the borders between them. Tuairiscíodh gur tháinig sé féin agus ceannairí an dá thír eile sin ar chomhaontú faoi cheisteanna a bhaineann leis na teorainneacha eatarthu. It is reported today that Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are to speak later this week. Tuairisicítear inniu go bhfuil Donald Trump agus Uachtaran na Síne Xi Jinping le labhairt le chéile níos deireanaí an tseachtain seo.

The Electricity Supply Board says that only up to 45,000 customers are now left to be reconnected to its network following storm Éowyn. Deir Bord Soláthar an leictreachais nach bhfuil fágtha anois le ceangal ar ais ar a ghréasán i ndiaidh na stoirme Éowyn ach suas le 45,000 custaiméar. He indicated that electrical power has now been restored to up to 723,000 households, farms and businesses. Thug sé le fios go bhfuil an chumhacht aibhléise curtha ina ceart in athuair do suas 723,000 anois idir theaghlaigh,fheirmeacha agus ghnólachtaí. He also says he is doing his best to restore power to the remaining areas that have now been without electricity for over a week. Deir sé freisin go bhfuil sé ar a dhícheall ag iarraidh an chuid eile atá fágtha anois gan leictreachas le breis is seachtain a chur ina gceart. ‘Engineers from Britain and other European Union countries are supporting the effort,’ he says. ‘Tá innealtóirí on Bhreatain agus tíortha eile ón Aontas Eorpach ag tacú leis an iarracht’ a deir sé. It is reported that up to 3,000 customers in Northern Ireland are still without electricity since the storm hit the island a week ago last Friday. Tuairiscítear go bhfuil suas le 3,000 custaiméar i dTuaisceart Éireann d’uireasa na cumhachta aibhléise go fóill ó thug an stoirm ropadh faoin oileán seachtain ó Dé hAoine seo caite.

Around 108,000 homes are still without electricity, almost a week after Storm Éowyn, a powerful windstorm that caused devastation in many places, especially in the west and northwest, blew through. Áirítear thart ar 108,000 áitreabh a bheith gan cumhacht leictreach i gcónaí, beagnach seachtain ó shéid Stoirm Éowyn, ollanfa gaoithe a rinne scrios in áiteanna go leor, go háirithe san iarthar agus san iarthuaisceart. A total of 768,000 properties were left without power immediately after the storm last Friday morning but it is now restored to 80% of them, says the Electricity Supply Board. 768,000 áitreabh san iomlán a bhí fágtha gan chumhacht díreach i ndiaidh na stoirme ar maidin Dé hAoine seo caite ach tá sé ar ais anois ag 80 faoin gcéad díobh, a deir Bord Soáthair an Leictreachais. Insurance companies have announced that they have made additional staff available to take telephone calls from affected people and process their claims for compensation live. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag comhlachtaí árachais go bhfuil foireann bhreise curtha ar fáil acu le glacadh le glaonna teileafóin ó dhaoine atá thíos leis agus lena n-éilimh ar chúiteamh a phróiseáil go beo. Storms are covered by insurance according to normal practice, and there is no need for concern from that perspective, said a spokesperson for the insurance companies. Tá stoirmeacha faoi chumhdach árachais de réir gnáthnóis agus cleachtaidh, agus ní call ar bith le himní ón taobh sin de, a dúirt urlabhraí na gcomhlachtaí árachais. The spokesperson also said that alternative accommodation can be provided for people whose homes were severely damaged by the storm. Dúirt an t-urlabhraí freisin gur féidir malairt lóistín a chur ar fáil do dhaoine a ndearna an stoirm damáiste mór dá dtithe. The Gardaí have warned the public about unscrupulous people who could prey on them in times of need, particularly people posing as tradesmen. Tá fainic curtha ag na Gardaí ar an bpobal faoi dhaoine gan scrupall a d’fhéadfadh i dtír orthu in am an ghátair, go háirithe daoine a ligeann orthu féin gur ceardaithe iad. People whose homes are in dire need of repair are advised not to let strangers rush them into the business or give them money in advance. Daoine a bhfuil bail de dhíth go dóite ar a dtithe, comhairlítear dóibh gan ligean do strainséirí iad a dheifriú chuig an ngnó ná airgead a thabhairt dóibh roimh ré.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/24cstbau Contact: [email protected] A public inquiry has been launched into the Omagh bombing. Tús curtha le fiosrúchán poiblí faoi bhuamáil na hÓmaí. A public inquiry into the murder of 29 people, including a woman who was expecting twins, in the Omagh bombing in Co. Tyrone in 1998 began this morning. Cuireadh tús ar maidin inniu le fiosrúchán poiblí faoi dhúnmharú 29 duine, bean a bhí ag súil le cúpla ina measc, i mbuamáil na hÓmaí i gCo Thír Eoghain i 1998. 29 people were killed and 220 others injured when a car bomb left by the Real IRA exploded in the centre of Omagh on the evening of Saturday 15 August 1998. Maraíodh an 29 agus gortaíodh 220 duine eile nuair a phléasc buama i ngluaisteán a bhí fághta ag an bhFíor-IRA i lár na hÓmaí tráthnóna Dé Sathairn an 15 Lúnasa 1998. The public inquiry was established to determine whether there was an opportunity to prevent the massacre in advance. Bunaíodh an fiosrúchán poiblí lena fháil amach an raibh deis ann roimh ré an sléacht a chosc. In 2021, a judge at the High Court in Belfast said that it was highly likely that the security services could have prevented the bombing if they had acted properly in advance. In 2021, dúirt breitheamh san Ardchúirt i mBéal Feirste gur róchosúil go bhféadfadh na seirbhísí slándála an bhuamáil a chosc dá ngníomhóidís mar ba cheart roimh ré. Judge Mark Horner said the security services had important information about the activities of the Real IRA on both sides of the border before the attack. Dúirt an Breitheamh Mark Horner go raibh eolas tábhachtach ag na seirbhísí slándála faoi ghníomhaíochtaí an Fhíor-IRA ar dhá thaobh na teorann roimh an ionsaí. It is known that police intelligence in the North received a telephone call eleven days before the massacre from an unknown person claiming that there would be a bombing attack in Omagh on August 15th. Tá a fhios go bhfuair lucht faisnéise na bpóilíní sa Tuaisceart glao teileafóin aon lá dhéag roimh an sléacht ó dhuine anaithnid a mhaígh go mbeadh ionsaí buamála san Ómaigh ar an 15 Lúnasa. That person did not provide any information about when or where exactly the attack would occur. Níor thug an duine sin aon eolas faoi cén t-am ná cén áit go baileach a dtarlódh an t-ionsaí. However, intelligence sources did not forward any information to the local police in Omagh. Níor chuir lucht faisnéise aon eolas ar aghaidh chuig na póilíní áitiúla san Ómaigh, áfach. The public inquiry is taking place at the Sruthla Arts Centre in Omagh and is chaired by former senior civil servant Andrew Turnbull. Is in Ionad Ealaíon na Sruthla san Ómaigh atá an fiosrúchán poiblí ar siúl agus is é an t-iar- státseirbhíseach sinsearach Andrew Turnbull an cathaoirleach. To begin with, the relatives of the deceased are giving a personal account, one by one, of the lives of each of the 29. Mar thús, tá cuntas pearsanta á thabhairt ó inniu ag gaolta na marbh, ina nduine agus ina nduine, ar shaol gach duine den 29. They are also giving an account of how the killing affected them. Tá cuntas á thabhairt acu freisin ar an gcaoi a ndeachaigh an marú i gcion orthu. That part of the investigation is expected to last two weeks. Ceaptar go mairfidh an chuid sin den fhiosrúchán coicís. The people who were injured in the bombing will later give an account of what happened to them that day and since. Na daoine a gortaíodh sa bhuamáil, tabharfaidh siadsan cuntas ina dhiaidh sin ar ar bhain dóibh féin an lá úd agus ó shin. Emergency workers who went to the scene of the horror will later tell their own story again. Oibrithe éigeandála a chuaigh chuig láthair an uafáis, inseoidh siad a scéal féin ina dhiaidh sin arís. All statements are being livestreamed online. Tá na ráitis ar fad á mbeoshruthú ar líne. It is currently estimated that evidence will not be presented to the inquiry until early summer. Meastar faoi láthair nach gcuirfear fianaise os comhair an fhiosrúcháin go dtí tús an tsamhraidh. The bomb was made in the Republic and the Irish Government has promised to cooperate with the Omagh inquiry. Is sa Phoblacht a rinneadh an buama agus tá sé geallta ag Rialtas na hÉireann comhoibriú leis an bhfiosrúchán san Ómaigh. The Government has been criticised by various groups, however, for not establishing a public inquiry in this State. Tá an Rialtas cáinte ag grúpaí éagsúla, áfach, as gan fiosrúchán poiblí a bhunú sa Stát seo.

Around 180,000 properties in the State are still without electrical power following Storm Éowyn which caused extensive damage across the country last Friday. Tá thart ar 180,000 áitreabh sa Stát fós gan cumhacht leictreach i ndiaidh Stoirm Éowyn a rinne díobháil mhór ar fud na tíre Dé hAoine seo caite. Cavan, Monaghan, Westmeath, Longford, Roscommon, Clare, Galway, Silesia and Donegal are the areas that continue to suffer the most, according to the Electricity Supply Board. An Cabhán, Muineachán, an Iarmhí, an Longfort, Ros Comáin, an Clár, Gaillimh, Silgeach agus Dún na nGall, sin iad na ceantair is mó atá thíos leis i gcónaí, dar le Bord Soláthair an Leictreachais. The company estimates that power will be restored in many of these areas by next Friday, but they say that other areas will remain without it for some time to come. Measann an comhlacht go mbeidh an chumacht ar ais i gcuid mhór de na háiteanna sin faoin Aoine seo chugainn ach deir siad go mbeidh áiteanna eile fágtha dá huireasa go ceann tamaill eile. It is estimated that 65,000 homes in the North are still without electrical power. Meastar go bhfuil 65,000 áitreabh sa Tuaisceart fós gan cumhacht leictreach. The fact that the Electricity Supply Board has asked electricity companies abroad to come to their aid is a testament to the great work that still needs to be done. Léiriú ann féin ar an obair mhór atá le déanamh fós is ea gur iarr Bord Soláthair an Leictreachais ar chomhlachtaí leictreachais thar lear teacht i gcabhair orthu. Teams from Austria and Finland have arrived in Ireland today to assist technicians in restoring power. Tá meithleacha ón Ostair agus ón bhFionlainn tagtha go hÉirinn inniu le cuidiú le teicneoirí abhus an chumhacht a thabhairt ar ais. More teams will be arriving from France and the Netherlands in the next few days. Beidh tuilleadh meithleacha ag teacht ón bhFrainc agus ón Ísiltír as seo go ceann cúpla lá. In addition to electrical power, approximately 74,000 households are still without water supply. Chomh maith le cumhacht leictreach, tá thart ar 74,000 áitreabh gan soláthar uisce i gcónaí. To make matters worse, Irish Water says that another 70,000 properties could soon lose their water supply. Mar bharr ar an donas, deir Uisce Éireann go m’fhéidir go gcaillfeadh 70,000 áitreabh eile fós a soláthar uisce siúd go gairid. These are homes, the company says, that receive water from reservoirs that are gradually drying up because they have not had electrical power since last Friday. Áitribh iad sin, a deir an comhlacht, a fhaigheann uisce ó thaiscumair atá ag dísciú de réir a chéile mar nach bhfuil cumhacht leictreach acu ón Aoine seo caite. The Government has established emergency hubs in sixteen counties across the State to provide relief to people whose needs are not being met following the storm. Tá moil éigeandála bunaithe ag an Rialtas i sé chontae dhéag ar fud an Stáit le fóirithint a chur ar fáil do dhaoine nach bhfuil riar a riachtanais acu tar éis na stoirme. Hot meals, broadband services and laundry facilities are being provided in the various centres. Leithéidí béilí te, seirbhísí leathanbhanda agus áiseanna níocháin atá á gcur ar fáil sna hionaid éagsúla. Cavan, Monaghan, Westmeath, Meath, Longford, Leitrim, Roscommon, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Sligo, Donegal, Laois, Offaly, Wicklow and Wexford are the counties in which the emergency hubs are based. An Cabhán, Muineachán, an Iarmhí, an Mhí, an Longfort, Liatroim, Ros Comáin, Corcaigh, Luimneach, Gaillimh, Sligeach, Dún na nGall, Laois, Uíbh Fhailí, Cill Mhantáin agus Loch Garman, sin iad na contaetha a bhfuil na moil éigeandála bunaithe iontu. The chairman of the National Emergency Coordination Group has announced that there will be a review of how State services responded to Storm Éowyn. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag cathaoirleach an Ghrúpa Comhordaithe Éigeandála Náisiúnta go ndéanfar athbhreithniú ar an gcaoi a ndeachaigh seirbhísí an Stáit i ngleic le Stoirm Éowyn. Keith Leonard said that the emergency infrastructure available during the storm, including power generators, would be looked at. Dúirt Keith Leonard go mbreathnófaí ar an mbonneagar éigeandála a bhí ar fáil le linn na stoirme, gineadóirí cumhachta san áireamh. Opposition politicians are calling on Taoiseach Micheál Martin to reconvene Dáil Éireann to discuss the crisis.

In addition, there will be no service to or from Galway, Westport and Belfast stations until tomorrow. Ina theannta sin ní bheidh aon seirbhís isteach ná amach as stáisiúin na Gaillimhe,Chathair na Mart agus Bhéal Feirste go dtí amárach.

The film Kneecap has received six nominations for the annual BAFTAs (British Academy of Film and Television Film Awards). Tá sé ainmniuchán faighte ag an scannán Kneecap do ghradaim bhliantúla na BAFTAs (British Academy of Film and Television Film Awards).

Scéal an ghrúpa rapcheoil as Béal Feirste Kneecap atá sa scannán arbh é an Sasanach Rich Peppiatt a scríobh agus a stiúraigh. Fine Point Films from Belfast and Wildcard Distribution from Dublin were among the production companies involved in the film. Fine Point Films as Béal Feirste agus Wildcard Distribution as Baile Átha Cliath, bhí siad i measc na gcomhlachtaí léiriúcháin a bhí bainteach leis an scannán. The film was funded by the British Film Institute, Vision Northern Ireland, the Irish Language Broadcasting Fund, Vision Ireland, the Media Commission and TG4. Institiúid Scannán na Breataine, Fís Thuaisceart Éireann, an Ciste Craoltóireachta Gaeilge, Fís Éireann, Coimisiún na Meán agus TG4, is iad a mhaoinigh an scannán. The proposal attracted controversy, however, and various groups in the North and Britain expressed their dissatisfaction that public money had been spent on it. Tharraing an togra conspóid, áfach, agus thug grúpaí éagsúla sa Tuaisceart agus sa Bhreatain le fios go raibh siad míshásta gur caitheadh airgead poiblí air. Much of the group’s lyrics and artistic expression are based on provocative IRA propaganda. Tá cuid mhór de liricí agus de léiriú ealaíonta an ghrúpa bunaithe ar bholscaireacht ghríosaitheach an IRA.

Westmeath. Iolar Mara lámhachta, maraithe i gCo na hIarmhí. The National Parks and Wildlife Service has confirmed that a White-tailed Eagle, a rare bird of prey, was recently shot and killed in County Westmeath. Tá sé dearbhaithe ag an tSeirbhís Páirceanna Náisiúnta agus Fiadhúlra gur lámhachadh agus gur maraíodh Iolar Mara, éan creiche neamhchoitianta, i gCo na hIarmhí le gairid. It was a female White-tailed Eagle and was about two years old. Iolar Mara baineann a bhí inti agus bhí sí thart ar dhá bhliain d’aois. She was released near the Shannon Estuary in 2022 as part of the White-tailed Eagle Reintroduction Project. Scaoileadh saor í in aice le hInbhear na Sionainne in 2022 mar chuid de Thionscadal Athbhunaithe an Iolair Mhara. Information from the satellite tag fitted to her indicates that she died sometime on December 6th between Ballinafeide and Portnashangan on the east side of Lough Uail in Westmeath. Léiríonn faisnéis ón gclib satailíte a bhí feistithe uirthi gur bhásaigh sí uair éigin ar an 6 Nollaig idir Baile na Feide agus Port na Seangán ar an taobh thoir de Loch Uail san Iarmhí. The information also indicates that the White-tailed Eagle was in that area for a few weeks before it was killed. Léiríonn an fhaisnéis freisin go raibh an tIolar Mara sa cheantar sin ar feadh cúpla seachtain sular maraíodh í. In 2023, she was in North Kerry, Donegal, north Antrim, Fermanagh, Cavan and elsewhere. In 2023, bhí sí i gCiarraí Thuaidh, i nDún na nGall, i dtuaisceart Aontroma, i bhFear Manach, sa Chabhán agus in áiteanna nach iad. The White-tailed Eagle Haliaeetus albicilla is a protected bird and anyone who kills it can be prosecuted.

The 33-year-old nun from the Brandywell area of Derry had done pastoral work, hospital chaplaincy and missionary work in Spain, the United States and Ecuador. Bhí obair thréadach, séiplíneacht ospidéil agus obair mhisinéireachta déanta sa Spáinn, sna Stáit Aontaithe agus in Eacuadór ag an bhean rialta 33 bliain d’aois as ceantar an Brandywell i nDoire. Around 100 of the Sister’s relatives and friends are in Madrid today for the ceremony in the Cathedral of Alcalá de Henares at 5.30 a.m. Spanish time. This beatification ceremony is the first step in the process for the young woman to be canonized. Tá thart ar 100 de ghaolta agus chairde na Siúrach i Madrid inniu don searmanas in Ardeaglais Alcalá de Henares ar a a 5.30 am na Spáinne Is é an searmanas beannaitheachta seo an chéad chéim sa phróiseas le go ndéanfaí naomhú ar an bhean óg. The ceremony will be shown at the Brunswick Moviebowl cinema in Derry city this evening – all seats have been sold and it is expected that the additional 170 tickets that were made available will be sold. Beidh an searmanas le feiceáil i bpictiúrlann an Brunswick Moviebowl i gcathair Dhoire tráthnóna – tá na suíocháin uilig díolta agus meastar go ndíolfar an 170 ticéad breise eile a cuireadh ar fáil. Sister Crockett was originally an actress and television presenter before joining the Servant Sisters of Mother Teresa in Spain in 2001. Aisteoir agus láithreoir teilifíse a bhí sa tSiúir Crockett ar tús sula ndeachaidh sí le Siúracha Searbhónta Bhaile na Máthar sa Spáinn i 2001. She had been a nun since the previous year. Bhí sí ina bean rialta ón bhliain roimhe sin. There is usually a 5-year wait after a person’s death before the process of sainthood can begin. De ghnáth bíonn fanacht 5 bliana ann i ndiaidh bhás duine sular féidir an próiseas naomhaithe a thosú. The application for canonization is the first step in the process; the title of Servant of God is conferred afterwards. Sé an tiarratas ar chanónú an chéad chéim den phróiseas; bronntar an teideal Searbhónta Dé ina dhiaidh sin. A formal report is submitted to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints and if the application is successful, the person is declared ‘venerable’ or ‘venerable.’ The candidate is granted beatification in the third stage and the process is concluded with ‘canonization.’ Cuirtear tuairisc fhoirmeálta faoi bhráid na Cuallachta Naomhaithe agus má éiríonn leis an iarratas, fógraítear go bhfuil an té sin ‘cásach’ nó ‘urramach.’ Bronntar beannaitheacht ar an iarrthóir sa tríú céim agus cuirtear críoch ar an phróiseas le ‘naomhainmniú.’

Deichniúr ar a laghad maraithe i California. At least ten people are now reported to have been killed by the wildfires that are spreading wildly in the state of California on the west coast of the United States. Tuairiscítear deichniúr ar a laghad a bheith maraithe anois ag na tinte foraoise atá ag scaipeadh as éadan i stát California ar chósta thiar na Stát Aontaithe. It is assumed that this figure will gradually increase. Glactar leis go méadóidh an figiúir sin de réir a chéile. The city of Los Angeles is severely affected by the fires, which worsened overnight due to the strengthening of the winds. Tá cathair Los Angeles go mór faoi léigear ag na tinte a chuaigh in olcas i gcaitheamh na hoíche de bharr neartú na gaoithe. It is said that there are two different fires there that pose a great danger. Deirtear go bhfuil dhá thine éagsúla ansin a bhfuil contúirt an-mhór ag baint leo. Fire services are saying the weather is not helping them at the moment. Tá seirbhísí dóiteáin ag rá nach aon chúnamh dóibh an aimsir faoi láthair. Up to 10,000 homes and other buildings are estimated to have been completely destroyed. Áirítear suas le 10,000 teach cónaithe agus foirgnimh eile a bheith scriosta go hiomlán. Authorities in the city have ordered up to 180,000 people to abandon their homes. Tá ordú tugtha ag údaráis sa chathair do suas le 180,000 duine a dtithe cónaithe a thréigean. Another big problem now is said to be poaching and a curfew is in place to try to combat it. Fadhb mhór eile ansin anois a deirtear is ea an chreachadóireacht agus tá cuirfiú i bhfeidhm féachaint le dul i ngleic leis.

Na mílte gan uisce, gan aibhléis de bharr an tseaca mhóir. Thousands of people are without electrical power and water supply in various parts of the country due to the severe frost. Tá na mílte daoine gan cumhacht leictreach agus soláthar uisce in áiteanna éagsúla sa tír mar gheall ar an sioc mór. The Electricity Supply Board says that around 40,000 customers are currently without electricity and the company estimates that some of those people will not have power restored for the next few days. Deir Bord Soláthair an Leictreachais gur thart ar 40,000 custaiméir atá gan leictreachas faoi láthair agus measann an comhlacht nach mbeidh an chumhacht ar ais ag roinnt de na daoine sin go ceann cúpla lá eile. Irish Water says around 40,000 customers are without water supply but the company is hopeful that it will be restored to most of them by lunchtime. Deir Uisce Éireann go bhfuil thart ar 40,000 custaiméir gan soláthar uisce ach tá an comhlacht dóchasach go mbeidh sé ar ais ag an gcuid is mó acu faoi am lóin. However, water levels in some reservoirs are currently low, which is causing difficulties for technicians trying to restore supply, Irish Water says. Tá leibhéal an uisce i roinnt taiscumar íseal i láthair na huaire, áfach, agus tá sin ag cothú deacrachtaí do na teicneoirí atá ag féachaint leis an soláthar a thabhairt ar ais, a deir Uisce Éireann. Education Minister Norma Foley says most schools in the country are open but some are closed for safety reasons. Deir an tAire Oideachais Norma Foley go bhfuil an chuid is mó de scoileanna na tíre oscailte ach go bhfuil roinnt acu dúnta ar chúinsí sábháilteachta. Areas in the south of the country are most affected, such as Kerry, Cork, Limerick, Tipperary, Waterford, Carlow and Kilkenny. Áiteanna i ndeisceart na tíre is mó atá thíos leis, mar atá, Ciarraí, Corcaigh, Luimneach, Tiobraid Árann, Port Láirge, Ceatharlach agus Cill Chainnigh. In addition to the frost, snow and sleet are affecting people and various services. Chomh maith leis an sioc, tá sneachta agus flichsneachta ag dul i gcion ar dhaoine agus ar sheirbhísí éagsúla. The Health Service Executive says that a number of outpatient appointments have been postponed in Limerick, Ennis and Nenagh due to icy roads in those areas. Deir Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte go bhfuil roinnt coinní othar seachtrach curtha ar athlá i Luimneach, in Inis agus san Aonach de bharr na bóithre sna háiteanna sin a bheith faoi reothalach. Rain, snow, hail and sleet are again promised today and meteorologists say temperatures could drop as low as five degrees below freezing. Tá báisteach, sneachta, clocha sneachta agus flichshneachta geallta arís inniu agus deir na meitéareolaithe go bhféadfadh an teocht titim chomh híseal le cúig chéim faoi bhun an reophointe. Met Éireann has extended the yellow weather warning they had issued by twelve hours. Tá síneadh dhá uair an chloig déag curtha ag Met Éireann leis an bhfógra buí aimsire a bhí eisithe acu.

An rialtas mí-shásta faoi chostas an Jeanie Johnston. RTÉ News and Current Affairs The Government was advised at the beginning of this century that the boat The Jeanie Johnston should be scrapped and no further funding should be provided to the project. Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ Comhairlíodh don Rialtas ag tús an chéid seo gur cheart fáil réidh leis an bhád An Jeanie Johnston agus gan a thuilleadh maoiniú a dhéanamh ar an tionscnamh. The intention was to build a replica of the famine-era boat and sail it to America and Canada. Bhí sé i gceist macasamhail den bhád ó aimsir an ghorta a thógáil agus seoladh go Meiriceá agus Ceanada inti. The boat would give the people of those countries an insight into their connection to Ireland and the underworld. Thabharfadh an bád léargas do phobal na dtíortha sin ar an cheangal a bhí acu le hÉirinn agus leis an drochshaol. The project also had an all-Ireland dimension and it was envisaged that young people from Unionist and Nationalist backgrounds would have the opportunity to train on it when the boat was being built. Bhí toise uile Éireann ag baint leis an togra fosta agus samhlaíodh go bhfaigheadh daoine óga ó chúlra Aontachtach agus Náisiúnach deis traenála uirthi nuair a bheadh an bád á thógáil. But by the beginning of 2002 the project was facing major difficulties. Ach fá thús na bliana 2002 bhí deacrachtaí móra ag an tionscnamh. The underlying company was insolvent and there were cases pending in the High Court against it. Bhí an comhlacht a bhí ina bhun dócmhainneach agus bhí cásanna ar siúl san Ard-Chúirt ina éadan. There were concerns that the company would have to shut down and dispose of the vessel. Bhíothas buartha go mbeadh ar an chomhlacht dúnadh síos agus go mbeadh orthu fáil réidh leis an árthach. The Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources, Frank Fahey, established a focus group to investigate the matter and their conclusions can be read in an Aide Memoire prepared by the Minister for a Government meeting on the subject. Bhunaigh Aire na Mara agus Acmhainní Nádúrtha, Frank Fahey, grúpa fócais chun an scéal a fhiosrú agus tá a gcuid conclúidí siúd le léamh in Aide Memoire a d’ullmhaigh an tAire do chruinniú Rialtais ar an ábhar. That document is now available in the National Archives as a result of the rule that forces the State to release documents relating to Anglo-Irish relations after twenty years. Tá an cháipéis sin ar fáil anois sa Chartlann Náisiúnta mar thoradh na rialach a chuireann iachall ar an Stát cáipéisí a bhaineann leis an chaidreamh Angla- Éireannach a scaoileadh tar éis fiche bliain. The Minister said in the Aide Memoire that the initiative had problems from the beginning. Dúirt an tAire san Aide Memoire go raibh fadhbanna ag an tionscnamh ón tús. The company that was contracted failed to meet their deadlines and the budget that was set for them. Theip ar an chomhlacht a bhí plé leis cloí lena gcuid spriocamanna agus leis an bhuiséad a bhí leagtha amach dóibh. The estimated cost had increased significantly from €3.8m to €14.4m – an increase of 377%. Bhí an costas measta ardaithe go mór ó €3.8m go €14.4m – ardú ionann is 377 faoin gcéad . The boat was supposed to sail to America in 2001 but it wasn’t finished on time. Bhí an bád in ainm a bheith ag seoladh go Meiriceá i 2001 ach ní raibh sí críochnaithe in am. The focus group set up by the Minister did not put a dent in it in the report they gave him. Níor chuir an grúpa fócais a bhunaigh an tAire fiacal ann sa tuairisc a thug siad dó. They said the initiative had shortcomings from the beginning. Dúirt siad go raibh easnaimh sa tionscnamh ón tús. They outlined three options for Minister Fahey: 1. Not to provide any additional funding for the project and to sell the boat to clear their debts. Leag siad amach trí rogha don Aire Fahey: 1.Gan aon mhaoiniú breise a thabhairt don tionscnamh agus go ndíolfaí an bád lena gcuid fiacha a ghlanadh. 2. 2. €0.63m in funding was provided for the boat so that it could sail to America. Maoiniú €0.63m a chuir ar fáil don bhád le go mbeadh sí ábalta seoladh go Meiriceá. After that, it should be left or sold elsewhere. Ba cheart ina dhiaidh sin í a fhágáil nó a dhíol thall. 3. 3. Take the boat into state ownership and use it as a training boat. An bád a chur faoi sheilbh an stáit agus í a úsáid mar bhád traenála. But the conclusion to be drawn from the focus group’s advice was that they could not envisage any long-term use for the boat “which will not involve the State in ongoing subvention to the project and financial risk.” Ach b’é an tátal a bhí le baint ó chomhairle an ghrúpa fócais ná nach bhféadfaidís aon úsáid fhadtréimhseach a shamhlú don bhád “which will not involve the S

Eolas nua faoi thaisí WB Yeats ar fáil i gcáipéisí an Stáit. RTÉ News and Current Affairs The Department of Foreign Affairs decided to suppress information given to them in the late seventies about the remains of the poet WB Yeats. Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ Chinn an Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha eolas a tugadh dóibh ag deireadh na seachtóidí faoi thaisí an fhile W B Yeats a chur faoi chois. In fact, the Department thought that a member of the famous Gluckstein family in London was blackmailing the State when he claimed to have evidence that the bones were not WB’s. Go deimhin, shíl an Roinn go raibh ball de theaghlach cáiliúil Gluckstein i Londain ag déanamh dúmhál ar an Stát nuair a mhaígh sé go raibh fianaise aige nárbh iad cnámha W.B. Yeats was buried in Sligo. Yeats a bhí curtha i Sligeach. It emerged 10 years ago in French State documents that the remains buried in the cemetery in Drumcliabh in Sligo are unlikely to be those of WB Yeats. Tháinig sé chun solais 10 mbliana ó shin i gcáipéisí Stáit de chuid na Fraince nach dócha gur taisí W B Yeats atá curtha sa reilig i nDroim Chliabh i Sligeach. The poet died in Roquebrune, France, in 1939 and was buried in a pauper’s grave. Cailleadh an file i Roquebrune na Fraince sa bhliain 1939 agus cuireadh é in uaigh bhochtáin. A grand ceremony was held in Ireland in 1948 when a naval ship brought his remains back to his homeland. Reáchtáladh searmanas mór in Éirinn in 1948 nuair a thug long cabhlaigh a chuid taisí ar ais go dtí a thír dhúchais. He was buried in Drumcliabh in County Sligo with great pomp and ceremony. Cuireadh é i nDroim Chliabh i gContae Shligigh le mustar is mórdháil. But Yeats’ remains were so mixed with many others in the morgue that there was no way to distinguish them from other people buried there. Ach b’amhlaidh go raibh taisí Yeats measctha le go leor eile sa mharbhlann agus nach raibh aon dóigh go bhféadfaí idirdhealú a dhéanamh idir iad agus daoine eile a bhí curtha ann. The pauper’s grave had a five-year lease and was exhumed in 1946 and the poet’s bones were interred with those of many others. Bhí léas cúig bliana ar uaigh an bhochtáin agus dí-adhlacadh é i 1946 agus cuireadh cnámha an fhile isteach le cnámha go leor daoine eile. Therefore, it is unlikely that the collection of bones sent back to Ireland belonged to Yeats at all. Mar sin, ní dócha gur le Yeats an cnuasach cnámha a seoladh ar ais go hÉirinn in aon chor. A Department of Foreign Affairs file now available in the National Archives due to the 30 Year Rule, provides fresh insight into the controversy. Tugann comhad de chuid na Roinne Gnóthaí Eachtracha atá ar fáil anois sa Chartlann Náisiúnta de bharr na Rialach 30 Bliain, léargas úr ar an chonspóid. On June 29, 1978, the Irish Ambassador to Britain submitted a confidential report to the Department on the matter. An 29 Meitheamh, 1978 chuir Ambasadóir na hÉireann chun na Breataine tuairisc rúnda faoi bhráid na Roinne faoin scéal. A member of the Gluckstein family contacted Ambassador Paul Keating with updated information about the situation. Chuaigh ball de theaghlach Gluckstein i dteagmháil leis an ambasadóir Paul Keating le heolas úr faoin scéal. Aunt R. was Bhí aintín R. J. J. Gluckstein (Ms Gluck) was very close to Edith Heald, a close friend of Yeats. Gluckstein (Ms Gluck) an-mhór le Edith Heald, dlúthchara de chuid Yeats. Heald had documents in his possession relating to Yeats’ burial and these were left in Ms Gluck’s will. Bhí doiciméid i seilbh Heald a bhain le hadhlacadh Yeats agus fágadh iad sin le huacht ag Ms Gluck. Gluckstein handed copies of these letters to the Ambassador. Thug Gluckstein cóipeanna de na litreacha seo ar lámh don Ambasadóir. They indicated that it would be impossible to find Yeats’s bones in the morgue and confirmed that the bones brought back to Ireland by naval ship for the state funeral in 1948 were not those of the poet. Tugadh le fios iontu go mbeadh sé dodhéanta cnámha Yeats a aimsiú sa mharbhlann agus deimhníodh nárbh iad cnámha an fhile a thug an long cabhlaigh ar ais go hÉirinn don tsochraid stáit i 1948. The Ambassador said that Gluckstein wanted to avoid a scandal. Dúirt an tAmbasadóir go raibh Gluckstein ag iarraidh scannal a sheachaint. He suggested, however, that the story be kept under wraps: “There is obviously the making of a scandal here but one which is not really very damaging in any real sense to anybody except the immediate members of the Yeats family.” Mhol sé, áfach, go gcuirfí an scéal faoi cheilt: “There is obviously the making of a scandal here but one which is not really very damaging in any real sense to anybody except the immediate members of the Yeats family.

Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has confirmed that eight sick children have arrived in Ireland from Gaza for treatment in hospitals in this country. Tá sé dearbhaithe ag an Aire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly go bhfuil ochtar páistí tinne tagtha go hÉirinn as Gaza le cóir leighis a chur orthu in ospidéil sa tír seo. Ireland is one of ten countries that has accepted a request from the World Health Organization to come to the aid of children from Gaza suffering from cancer, blood disorders or other serious illnesses. Tá Éire ar cheann de dheich dtír a ghlac le hiarratas ón Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Sláinte teacht i gcabhair ar leanaí as Gaza a bhfuil ailse, aicíd fola nó galar tromchúiseach eile orthu. Around 30 sick children are due to arrive in Ireland from Gaza in the next few months and the first eight were welcomed as they disembarked from a Slovak Government plane at Dublin Airport last night. Tá thart ar 30 leanbh tinn le teacht go Éirinn as Gaza as seo go ceann roinnt míonna agus cuireadh fáilte roimh an gcéad ochtar nuair a tháinig siad amach as eitleán de chuid Rialtas na Slóvaice ag Aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath aréir. The children were accompanied by caregivers and siblings, and they will live with health workers who have volunteered to provide them with accommodation. In éineacht leis na páistí tháinig cúramóirí agus deartháireacha agus deirfiúracha dóibh, agus cónóidh siadsan le hoibrithe sláinte a dheonaigh lóistín a chur ar fáil dóibh. In light of its implications, the plan has been in preparation for some time by various Government Departments and the Health Service Executive in collaboration with medical professionals and the Irish Red Cross. I bhfianaise a aimpléisí atá sé, tá an plean á réiteach le tamall ag Ranna Rialtais éagsúla agus Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte i gcomhar le lucht leighis agus Cros Dhearg na hÉireann. It is understood that a medical team from Ireland went to Gaza to assess sick children and to obtain further information about their needs from their families or other caregivers. Tuigtear go ndeachaigh foireann leighis as Éirinn go Gaza le measúnú a dhéanamh ar leanaí tinne agus le tuilleadh eolais a fháil faoina gcuid riachtanas óna muintreacha nó ó dhaoine eile a thugann aire dóibh. However, children with orthopedic needs are not currently being considered due to lack of resources.

Bord na Móna cáinte faoi shliseanna adhmaid a iompórtáil le dó. By Tomás Ó Mainnín Bord na Móna has been strongly criticised by the Treasury for importing wood chips from South America to burn as a power generation material. Le Tomás Ó Mainnín Tá Bord na Móna cáinte go láidir ag an Taisce faoi shliseanna adhmaid a iompórtail ó Mheiriceá Theas le dó mar ábhar ginte cumhachta. The wood chips were recently transported from Brazil to Foynes Port in Co. Limerick on a large cargo ship, a journey of 7,500 kilometres. Tugadh na sliseanna adhmaid ón mBrasaíl go Calafort Fhainge i gCo Luimnigh ar long mhór lastais le déanaí, sin turas 7,500 ciliméadar. The ship, the Dynagreen, has the capacity to transport 40,000 tonnes of wood chips. Tá sé d’acmhainn ag an long, an Dynagreen, 40,000 tonna de shliseanna adhmaid a iompar. RTÉ News understands that the wood chips are to be taken to the Bord na Móna power generation plant in Edenderry in Co. Offaly. Tuigtear do Nuacht RTÉ go bhfuil na sliseanna adhmaid le tabhairt go dtí ionad ginte cumhachta Bhord na Móna in Éadan Doire i gCo Uíbh Fhailí. Bord na Móna says they source most of the biomass they burn from sources in this country. Deir Bord na Móna go bhfaigheann siad an chuid is mó den ábhar bithmhaise a dhónn siad ó fhoinsí sa tír seo. They also say they have no choice but to source some of the material from international sources and that they do so in partnership with a non-profit organization that supports land management in the countries in question. Deir siad leis nach bhfuil aon rogha acu ach cuid den ábhar a fháil ó fhoinsí idirnáisiúnta agus go ndéanann siad é sin i gcomhpháirtíocht le heagraíocht neamhbhrabúis a thacaíonn le bainistíocht talún sna tíortha atá i gceist. According to Bord na Móna, this non-profit organization also inspects on their behalf the places where the trees grow. Dar le Bord na Móna go ndéanann an eagraíocht neamhbhrabúis úd iniúchadh ar a son chomh maith ar na háiteanna ina bhfásann na crainn. On the contrary, however, the Treasury says that this country is pretending to reduce carbon emissions when wood is being imported from South America and burned to generate energy. Os a choinne sin, áfach, deir an Taisce gur ag cur i gcéill atá an tír seo maidir le hastaíochtaí carbóin a laghdú nuair atá adhmad á iompórtáil ó Mheiriceá Theas agus á dhó chun fuinneamh a ghiniúint. An Taisce is calling on Bord na Móna to cease this practice and focus in future on generating energy from renewable sources. Tá an Taisce ag achainí ar Bhord na Móna éirí as an gcleachtas sin agus díriú feasta ar fhuinneamh a ghiniúint ó fhoinsí in-athnuaite. RTÉ News asked Bord na Móna how many tonnes of wood chips they have imported to date and whether they plan to bring more into the country.

Bean a gabhadh maidir le dúnmharú Kyran Durnin scaoilte saor. A woman in her twenties who was arrested by the Gardai yesterday in relation to the murder of Kyran Durnin, the young boy who has been missing in Co Louth for two and a half years, has been released without charge. Scaoilte saor gan aon chúis curtha ina leith tá bean sna fichidí a ghabh na Gardaí inné maidir le dúnmharú Kyran Durnin, an buachaill óg atá ar iarraidh i gCo Lú le dhá bhliain go leith. Kyran was six years old when he was last seen in May 2022. Bhí Kyran sé bliana d’aois nuair a chonacthas go deireanach é i mí na Bealtaine 2022. However, it was not until August of this year that he was reported missing to the Gardaí. Ní go dtí mí Lúnasa na bliana seo, áfach, a cuireadh in iúl do na Gardaí go raibh sé ar iarraidh. The woman who was being questioned by the Gardaí, she was abroad for a while but she was arrested in Ireland yesterday. An bhean a bhí á ceisitú ag na Gardaí, bhí sí thar lear ar feadh tamaill ach is in Éirnn a gabhadh í inné. It is understood gardaí have previously spoken to the woman as part of their murder investigation. Tuigtear gur labhair na Gardaí leis an mbean roimhe seo mar chuid dá bhfiosrúchán dúnmharaithe. On August 30 this year, Gardaí were informed that Kyran Durnin had last been seen in Drogheda two days earlier. Ar an 30 Lúnasa i mbliana, cuireadh in iúl do na Gardaí go bhfacthas Kyran Durnin go deireanach i nDroichead Átha dhá lá roimhe sin. After they immediately started searching for him, they found no sign or description of him. Tar éis go ndeachaigh siad i mbun a chuardaigh láithreach, tásc ná tuairisc ní bhfuair siad air. On October 16, the Gardaí publicly announced that they believed the boy had actually been last seen two years ago and said they believed he had been murdered. Ar an 16 Deireadh Fómhair, d’fhógair na Gardaí go poilbí go raibh siad den bharúil gur dhá bhliain ó shin a chonacthas an buachaill go deireanach i ndáiríre agus dúirt gur chreid siad gurbh amhlaidh a dúnmharaíodh é. The Child and Family Agency, Tusla, has been involved in the matter since it emerged that they had contact with Kyran Durnin and his family in the past. Bainteach leis an scéal tá an Ghníomhaireacht um Leanaí agus an Teaghlach, Tusla, ó tháinig sé chun solais go raibh teagmháil acu le Kyran Durnin agus lena theaghlach san am a caitheadh. Tusla also confirmed that they informed the Gardai in early August that they were very concerned about the boy. Dhearbhaigh Tusla freisin gur chuir siad in iúl do na Gardaí i dtús Lúnasa go raibh imní mhór orthu faoin mbuachaill. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ

Bean gafa lena ceistiú maidir le dúnmharú Kyran Durnin. A woman has been arrested for questioning in relation to the murder of Kyran Durnin, the 8-year-old boy who went missing. Tá bean gafa lena ceisitú maidir le dúnmharú Kyran Durnin, an buachaill 8 mbliana d’aois a chuaig ar iarraidh. The boy was reported missing in August this year, but gardaí believe he may have been killed two years ago. Tuairiscíodh an buachaill bheith ar iarraidh mí Lúnasa i mbliana, ach creideann Gardaí gur féidir gur maraíodh dhá bhliain ó sin é. He was last seen alive in May 2022 when he was 6 years old and a pupil at a local primary school in Dundalk. Bealtaine 2022 an uair dheireanach a chonacthas beo é nuair a bhí sé 6 bhliana d’aois agus ina dhalta ag bunscoil áitiúil i nDún Dealgan. He had been living in a house in Dundalk for several years, and Gardai searched that house in October. Bhí sé ina chónaí i dteach i nDún Dealgan ar feadh roinnt blianta, agus chuardaigh Gardaí an teach sin mí Dheireadh Fómhair. The Gardai confirmed that the people who were living in the house at the time had nothing to do with the boy or anything related to him. Dhearbhaigh na Gardaí nach raibh baint ná páirt ag na daoine a bhí ina gcónaí sa teach an t-am sin leis an mbuachaill ná lenar bhain dó. It is understood that the person arrested today is a woman in her twenties, and that she is being questioned in a station in the north-east of the country, under section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act. Tuigtear gur bean sna fichidí í an té a gabhadh inniu, agus go bhfuil sí á ceistiú i stáisiún in oirthuaisceart na tíre, faoi alt 4 den Acht um an Ceartas Coiriúil. She can be questioned for 24 hours. Is féidir í a cheistiú ar feadh 24 uair. Gardai are still appealing for anyone with information about Kyran’s murder to contact them, no matter how small. Tá na Gardaí fós ag iarraidh ar aon duine a bhfuil eolas acu faoi dhúnmharú Kyran, dul i dteagmháil leo, cuma cé chomh beag is atá an t-eolas sin. Tusla, the Children and Family Agency are also reviewing the case. Tá Tusla, an Ghníomhaireacht um Leanaí agus an Teaghlach i mbun athbhreithniú ar an gcás freisin.

In the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, a 28-year-old man who pleaded guilty to setting fire to an Garda Síochána squad car during the riots in the city center last year was sentenced to six and a half years in prison. I gCúirt Choiriúil Chuarda Bhaile Átha Cliath, gearradh téarma príosúin sé bliana go leith ar fhear 28 bliain d’aois a phléadáil ciontach i scuadcharr leis an nGarda Síochána a chur le thine le linn na gcíréibeacha a bhí i lár na cathrach bliain go ham seo. That’s Declan Donaghey, from Liam Street in Dublin, who pleaded guilty to arson, causing criminal damage and participating in violent disorder on November 23 last year. Sin é Declan Donaghey, as Sráid Liam i mBaile Átha Cliath, a phléadáil ciontach i gcoirloscadh, i ndamáiste coiriúil a dhéanamh agus i bpáirt a ghlacadh i mí-ord foréigneach ar an 23 Samhain anuraidh. As well as setting fire to a squad car, he threw a wheelie bin at another squad car, trampled on the bonnet of yet another squad car and smashed the latter’s windscreen. Chomh maith le scuadcharr a lasadh, chaith sé araid rothaí le scuadcharr eile, shatail sé ar bhoinéad scuadchairr eile fós agus bhris sé gaothscáth an chinn dheireanaigh. In all of that, he attacked an accommodation center for immigrants. Ina cheann sin ar fad, rinne sé ionsaí ar ionad cóiríochta d’inimircigh. The disorder began after an immigrant man attacked children and a teacher with a knife outside a school on Parnell Street at lunchtime on 23 November. Thosaigh an mí-ord tar éis d’fhear ón gcoigcríoch páistí agus múinteoir a ionsaí le scian taobh amuigh de scoil ar Shráid Parnell ag am lóin ar an 23 Samhain. Declan Donaghey said he was furious at the time because a relative of his girlfriend was at the same school as the children who were attacked. Dúirt Declan Donaghey go raibh sé ar buile ag an am mar go raibh duine muinteartha lena leannán sa scoil chéanna leis na páisti a hionsaíodh. He claimed that his misbehavior that night was caused by a flash of anger. Mhaígh sé gur spadhar feirge a bhuail é ba chionsiocair lena mhí- iompar an oíche úd. However, Judge Orla Crowe indicated that she did not accept that claim and said that Declan Donaghey’s attack on the Gardai was an attack on the whole of society. Thug an Breitheamh Orla Crowe le fios, áfach, nach raibh aon ghlacadh aici leis an maíomh sin agus dúirt gur ionsaí ar an tsochaí ar fad a bhí san ionsaí a rinne Declan Donaghey ar na Gardaí. However, she took into account, she said, that shortly after being arrested by gardaí, Declan Donaghey admitted to committing the crimes, that he realized what he had done was wrong and that he was not in prison never before. Mar sin féin, chuir sí san áireamh, a dúirt sí, gur admhaigh Declan Donaghey go gairid tar éis do na Gardaí é a ghabháil go ndearna sé na coireanna, gur thuig sé go raibh na rudaí a rinne sé mícheart agus nach raibh sé sa phríosún riamh cheana. Taking all that into consideration, she sentenced him to seven and a half years in prison but suspended the last year. Agus é sin ar fad sa mheá, ghearr sí seacht mbliana go leith príosúin air ach chuir sí an bhliain dheireanach ar fionraí. Declan Donaghey’s family and supporters were in court today and were shocked after the judge handed down the sentence. Bhí teaghlach Declan Donaghey agus a lucht tacaíochta sa chúirt inniu agus d’éirigh siad suaite tar éis don bhreitheamh an phianbhreith a ghearradh air. The Gardai eventually had to escort them out of the courtroom. B’éigean do na Gardaí iad a thabhairt amach as an seomra cúirte ar deireadh. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ

Fine Gael leader Simon Harris has said that he will continue to lobby for his party’s candidate in the Louth Constituency, Senator John McGahon, despite the concerns expressed by both Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin. Tá sé ráite ag ceannaire Fhine Gael Simon Harris, go leanfaidh sé ar aghaidh ag stocaireacht ar son iarrthóir a pháirtí i nDáilcheantar Lú, an Seanadóir John McGahon, ainneoin na himní atá léirithe ag Fianna Fáil agus Sinn Féin araon. John McGahon was found not guilty in a 2022 trial of physically assaulting Breen White outside a pub in County Louth and the Sunday Times newspaper published photographs of Breen White’s injuries today. Fuarthas John McGahon neamhchiontach i dtriail i 2022 as ionsaí fisiciúil ar Breen White taobh amuigh de thábhairne i gContae Lú agus d’fhoilsigh an nuachtán an Sunday Times grianghraif de ghortuithe Breen White inniu. Simon Harris said the images and videos from security systems were part of the evidence in the criminal trial but the jury found Senator McGahon not guilty. Dúirt Simon Harris gur chuid den fhianaise sa triail choiriúil iad na h-íomhánna agus na físeáin ó chórais slándála ach go bhfuair giúiré an Seanadóir McGahon neamhchiontach. Earlier today Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said: “It seems that the victim in this case did not get the response that he should have received. Níos luaithe inniu dúirt ceannaire Fhianna Fáil Micheál Martin: “Is cosúil nach bhfuair an t-íospartach sa chás seo an freagra a cheapfaí a ba cheart dó a fháil. And I think that the matter is serious and that it is a matter for Fine Gael of course.” Agus ceapaim go bhfuil an tábhar tromchúiseach agus gur ceist do Fhine Gael é ar ndóigh.” Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald described what happened outside the pub as “violent” and “brutal” and questioned how Simon Harris could support John McGahon as a candidate. “Foréigneach” agus “brúidiúíl” an cur síos a rinne ceannaire Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald ar an méid a tharla taobh amuigh den teach tábhairne agus cheistigh sí conas a d’fhéadfadh Simon Harris tacú le John McGahon mar iarrthóir. However, the deputy leader of Fine Gael, Helen McEntee said that she also supports the Senator – that the courts have dealt with the matter and it is noteworthy that he claimed that he was defending himself. Dúirt leascheannaire Fhine Gael, Helen McEntee áfach go dtacaíonn sise chomh maith leis an Seanadóir – gur phléigh na cúirteanna leis an ábhar agus gur díol suntais gur mhaígh sé gur á chosaint féin a bhí sé. Although John McGahon was found not guilty in a criminal trial, he was found 65% responsible for damages in a subsequent civil case. Cé go bhfuarthas John McGahon neamhchiontach i dtriail choiriúil, fuarthas 65 faoin gcéad freagrach as damáistí é i gcás sibhialta ina dhiaidh sin. The High Court ordered him to pay €39,000 to Breen White. D’ordaigh an Ardchúirt dó €39,000 a íoc le Breen White. Breen White told the Sunday Times today that he is disappointed that John McGahon was chosen as Fine Gael’s candidate. Dúirt Breen White leis an Sunday Times inniu go bhfuil díomá air gur roghnaíodh John McGahon mar le bheith ina iarrthóir ag Fine Gael.

An cumadóir Johnny Duhan é an té a báthadh i nGaillimh inniu. Johnny Duhan, the well-known songwriter, is the man who drowned this morning after swimming at Head Beach in Bearna, County Galway. Is é Johnny Duhan, an cumadóir amhrán aitheanta, an fear a báthadh ar maidin tar éis sul ag snámh ag Trá na gCeannn i mBearna, Contae na Gaillimhe. The most popular song he composed was ‘The Voyage’, a well-known song which was covered by Christy Moore and had an album around it. ‘The Voyage’ é an t-amhrán ba mhó tóir dár chum sé, amhrán aitheanta a chas Christy Moore agus a chuir album timpeall air. Johnny Duhan is originally from Limerick but settled in Bearna a few years ago. As Luimneach ó dhúchas do Johnny Duhan ach chuir sé faoi i mBearna roinnt blianta ó shin. He is survived by his wife Maureen, their five children, grandchildren and other relatives. Maireann a bhean chéile Maureen, a gcúigear páistí, garchlann agus gaolta eile. An extensive search began off the coast of Galway when he did not return home after his usual morning swim. Thosaigh cuardach cuimsitheach amach ó chósta na Gaillimhe nuair nár fhill sé abhaile tar éis dó dul ag snámh ar maidin, mar ba ghnách dó. It was not long after that that it came to light that another person, a woman in her thirties, was also missing from Head Beach. Níorbh fhada ina dhiaidh sin gur tháinig sé chun solais go raibh duine eile, bean sna tríochadaí, ar iarraidh freisin ar Thrá na gCeann. The emergency services were called when she did not arrive at work as expected. Cuireadh fios ar na seirbhísí éigeandála nuair nár tháinig sí ag an obair mar a raibh súil leí. The search was carried out by the Coast Guard, the RNLI and Civil Defense teams. Chuaigh an Garda Cósta, an RNLI agus buíonta den Chosaint Sibhialta i mbun an chuardaigh. Local people and some small boats came to help in the search, by land and by sea. Tháinig daoine áitiúla agus roinnt bád beag i gcabhair ar an gcuardach, ar thír agus ar muir. A body was found in the water this afternoon near Cuan Roisín between Bearna and Bóthar na Trá, some time west of the city. Thángthas ar chorp san uisce tráthnóna gar do Chuan Roisín idir Bhearna agus Bhóthar na Trá, tamall siar ón gcathair. It is an unusual incident for two people who did not know each other to be missing from the same place, and Gardaí are trying to understand how the events of the morning unfolded.. Eachtra neamhghnáthach é beirt nach raibh aithne ar a chéile bheith ar iarraidh ón láthair chéanna, agus tá Gardaí ag iarraidh a thuiscint cé mar a thit imeachtaí na maidne amach.. It was calm weather and a calm sea in the morning, but the fog of the day hindered the search. Aimsir chiúin agus farraige chalm a bhí ann ar maidin, ach chuir ceo an lae as don chuardach. The search for the woman had to be suspended at nightfall, but will begin again at sunrise. B’éigean an cuardach don bhean a chur ar fionraí le titim na hoíche, ach tosófar ina bhun arís le héirí na gréine.

Climate experts say they are almost certain that 2024 will be the hottest year on record. Deir saineolaithe aeráide go bhfuil siad nach mór cinnte de go mbeidh 2024 ar an mbliain is teo a taifeadadh riamh. According to the monitoring agency of the European Union, Corpernicus, the global temperature this year will be 1.55 degrees Celsius higher than the average temperature between the years 1850-1900, just before the burning of fossil fuels on an industrial basis. Dar le gníomhaireacht monatóireachta an Aontais Eorpaigh, Corpernicus, beidh teocht na cruinne i mbliana 1.55 céim Celsius níos airde ná an mheánteocht a bhí ann idir na blianta 1850-1900, díreach sular tosaíodh ag dó breoslaí iontaise ar bhonn tionsclaíoch. This is the first year for the temperature to be more than 1.5 degrees above the average temperature of those years. Seo an chéad bhliain don teocht a bheith níos mó ná 1.5 céim os cionn mheánteocht na mblianta úd. According to the climate agreement signed in Paris in 2016, the countries of the world are obliged to keep the temperature increase below 2 degrees and to make a strong effort to keep it at 1.5 degrees. De réir an chomhaontú aeráide a síníodh i bPáras in 2016, tá iallach ar thíortha an domhain an t-ardú teochta a choinneáil faoi bhun 2 chéim agus dianiarracht a dhéanamh é a choinneáil ag 1.5 céim. The issue will be discussed at the United Nations international conference on climate change that will begin in Azerbaijan next Monday. Criathrófar an cheist ag comhdháil idirnáisiúnta na Náisiún Aontaithe ar athrú aeráide a gcuirfear tús leis san Asarbaiseáin Dé Luain seo chugainn. The rate of warming in Ireland is on a par with the rest of the world, say experts in this country. Tá an ráta téimh in Éirinn ar aon bhonn leis an gcuid eile den domhan, a deir saineolaithe na tíre seo. Climate change is the worst cause of the weather which is the worst cause of some of the major human disasters that are happening more often in these worlds, for example, the devastation caused by the floods that were in the east of Spain last week. Is é an t-athrú aeráide is cionsiocair leis an anaimsir arb í is siocair le roinnt de na tubaistí móra daonna atá ag tarlú níos minice ar na saolta seo, cuir i gcás, an lomscrios a rinne na maidmeanna tuile a bhí in oirthear na Spáinne an tseachtain seo caite. As the water in the Mediterranean is getting warmer all the time, more water is evaporating, more clouds are being created and rainfall in that region is now heavier than ever as a result, according to the experts. Agus uisce na Meánmhara ag éirí níos teo an t-am ar fad, tá níos mó uisce á ghalú, tá níos mó scamall á gcruthú agus tá tuairteanna báistí sa réigiún sin níos troime anois ná mar a bhí riamh dá bharr sin, de réir na saineolaithe. The anomalous El Niño weather pattern is also involved. Tá baint ag an bpatrún aimhrialta aimsire El Niño leis an scéal freisin. Although El Niño is a natural phenomenon that automatically causes rising temperatures, heavy rains and drought, some experts believe that continued global warming is making it more severe. Cé gur feiniméan nádúrtha é El Niño a chothaíonn as féin ardú teochta, fearthainn throm agus triomach, creideann saineolaithe áirithe go bhfuil téamh leanúnach na cruinne ag cur lena fhíochmhaire.

Leibhéal ard bulaíochta i measc fhoireann Ollscoil na Gaillimhe. RTÉ News and Current Affairs A report on the working environment at the University of Galway shows that there is a high level of incidents of harassment and bullying among staff. Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ Léiríonn tuairisc faoin timpeallacht oibre in Ollscoil na Gaillimhe go bhfuil leibhéal ard d’eachtraí ciaptha agus bulaíochta i measc na foirne. The University says that what was revealed in the internal survey is worrying but that it is only one aspect of the story. Deir an Ollscoil gur díol imní an méid a léiríodh sa suirbhé inmheánach ach nach bhfuil ann ach gné amháin den scéal. It was in 2023 that the Office of the Vice-President for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Affairs at the University of Galway carried out the survey about the work culture among the staff and management of the University. Is i 2023 a rinne Oifig an Leasuachtaráin ar Ghnóthaí Comhionannais, Éagsúlachta agus Cuimsithe in Ollscoil na Gaillimhe an suirbhé faoi chultúr na hoibre i measc fhoireann agus bhainistíocht na hOllscoile. The survey is part of the University’s work to comply with the standards charter of the Athena Swan organization which monitors gender equality in 3rd level institutions in Ireland. Is cuid é an suirbhé de obair na hOllscoile cloí le cairt chaighdeáin na heagraíochta Athena Swan a choinnionn súil ar chomhionannas inscne in institiúidí 3ú leibhéal in Éirinn. The survey, which was answered by 39% of the entire staff, shows that a high number of workers have seen or experienced bullying, harassment or discrimination in the workplace. Léiríonn an suirbhé a d’fhreagair 39 faoin gcéad den fhoireann iomlán, go bhfaca nó gur fhulaing líon ard oibrithe bulaíocht, ciapadh nó leithcheal sa láthair oibre. 40% said they had witnessed bullying or harassment and 30% said they themselves had experienced it. Dúirt 40 faoin gcéad go bhfaca siad bulaíocht nó ciapadh agus dúirt 30 faoin gcéad gur fhulaing siad féin a leithéid. 38% said they had seen discrimination and a quarter said they had experienced discrimination. Dúirt 38 faoin gcéad go bhfaca siad leithcheal á dhéanamh agus dúirt an ceathrú cuid gur fhulaing siad leithcheal. In a statement that the University made available to Nuacht today, they said that they were concerned about the problems shown in this survey. I ráiteas a chuir an Ollscoil ar fáil do Nuacht inniu, dúirt siad go díol imní dóibh na fadhbanna a léiríodh sa suirbhé seo. They said the process involved in the report “demonstrates the University’s commitment to openness and respect.” Dúirt siad go léiríonn an próiseas a bhain leis an tuarascáil “tiomantas na hOllscoile don oscailteacht agus don mheas.” The University refused to make the report available to News. Dhiúltaigh an Ollscoil an tuarascáil a chur ar fáil do Nuacht. They have previously refused to provide the information to other journalists under the Freedom of Information Act. Dhiúltaigh siad roimhe seo an teolas a chur ar fáil d’iriseoirí eile faoi faoin Acht um shaoráil faisnéise. The University said in the statement that “the depiction of the University of Galway as a place where a culture of bullying and harassment prevails is only one aspect of the story. Dúirt an Ollscoil sa ráiteas nach bhfuil “sa léiriú ar Ollscoil na Gaillimhe mar áit ina bhfuil cultúr bulaíochta agus ciaptha i réim ach gné amháin den scéal. 50% of the respondents said that they believe that ‘the culture in our university has become more inclusive over the last four years.'” In addition the University said that “the majority of staff gave a positive answer when asked if ‘the culture and the atmosphere that prevails in my unit/school is inclusive and friendly to all’ and ‘does my unit/school foster clear values and habits of conduct regarding how people should treat each other’.” Dúirt 50 faoin gcéad de na freagróirí go gcreideann siad ‘go bhfuil an cultúr inár n-ollscoil níos cuimsithí le ceithre bliana anuas.'” Lena chois sin dúirt an Ollscoil gur thug “formhór na foirne freagra dearfach nuair a fiafraíodh díobh an bhfuil ‘an cultúr agus an t-atmaisféar atá i réim i m’aonad/mo scoil cuimsitheach agus cairdiúil do chách’ agus ‘an gcothaíonn m’aonad/mo scoil luachanna agus nósanna iompair soiléire maidir le conas ba chóir do dhaoine caitheamh lena chéile’.” More work is needed, they said, to understand reports from staff members who have witnessed or experienced harassment and/or bullying, to determine whether they are recent or long-ago incidents.

Níor tugadh mórán eolais go dtí seo faoin líon daoine atá maraithe ag fórsaí talún Iosrael i ndeisceart na Liobáine ó chuaigh siad isteach ann ach, ó tharraing Arm na Liobáine siar, tá sé á mhaíomh ag Hezbollah go bhfuil siad féin ag seasamh an fhóid agus ag dul i dtreis leis na hionróirí. The Israeli Army revealed yesterday that eight Israeli soldiers were killed in the fighting. Thug Arm Iosrael le fios inné gur maraíodh ochtar saighdiúirí Iosraelacha sa chomhrac. The Israelis claimed today that they killed fifteen members of Hezbollah when they bombed from the air a center or centers in the town of Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon. Mhaígh na hIosraelaigh inniu gur mharaigh siad cúig chomhalta dhéag de Hezbollah nuair a bhuamáil siad ón aer ionad nó ionaid i mbaile Bint Jbeil i bhfíordheisceart na Liobáine. As the Israelis are doing elsewhere in Lebanon, it is reported that six people were killed and seven wounded when they bombed a medical center in Beirut early this morning. Mar leis an ár atá na hIosraelaigh a dhéanamh in áiteanna eile sa Liobáin, tuairiscítear gur maraíodh seisear agus gur leonadh seachtar nuair a bhuamáil siad ionad leighis i mBéiriút go moch ar maidin inniu. According to the Israelis, the missile they fired was aimed at a specific target. Dar leis na hIosraelaigh go raibh an diúracán a scaoil siad leis an áit dírithe ar sprioc ar leith. The Israeli air force also bombed more residential areas in a suburb south of Beirut. Bhuamáil aerfhórsa Iosrael freisin tuilleadh ceantar cónaithe i mbruachbhaile ar an taobh ó dheas de Bhéiriút.

An Liobáin: tús curtha ag fórsaí Iosrael le hionradh talún. Israeli military forces have been carrying out a ground invasion of southern Lebanon since early morning with a firm intention, they say, to drive Hezbollah out of the region. Tá ionradh talún á dhéanamh ag fórsaí míleata Iosrael ar dheisceart na Liobáine ó mhoch maidine agus rún daingean acu, a deir siad, Hezbollah a ruaigeadh as an réigiún. According to the Israelis it is currently a “limited invasion” and that their soldiers and tanks are targeting specific centers of Hezbollah in villages close to the border between the two countries. Dar leis na hIosraelaigh gur “ionradh teoranta” atá ann faoi láthair agus go bhfuil a gcuid saighdiúirí agus tancanna ag díriú ar ionaid ar leith de chuid Hezbollah i sráidbhailte gar don teorainn idir an dá thír. The Israelis also say that the air force is supporting the infantry and artillery platoons. Deir na hIosraelaigh freisin go bhfuil an t-aerfhórsa ag tacú leis na saighdiúirí coise agus na buíonta airtléire. Yesterday evening, the Lebanese Army withdrew five kilometers from the border but it is reported that members of Hezbollah are fighting the invaders. Tráthnóna inné, tharraing Arm na Liobáine siar cúig chiliméadar ón teorainn ach tuairiscítear go bhfuil comhaltaí de Hezbollah ag dul i dtreis leis na hionróirí. According to the people of the village of Aita al-Shaab in the south of Lebanon, the place has been bombarded from the air by the Israelis since this morning. Dar le muintir shráidbhaile Aita al-Shaab i bhfíordheisceart na Liobáine go bhfuil an áit á thuairgneáil ón aer ag na hIosraelaigh ó mhaidin. It is also reported that a missile or missiles were fired at Lebanon’s largest Palestinian refugee camp near the city of Sidon. Tuairiscítear leis gur scaoileadh diúracán nó diúracáin leis an gcampa teifeach Palaistíneach is mó sa Liobáin in aice le cathair Shiodón. The Israeli air force carried out further attacks on suburbs to the south of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, during the night. Rinne aerfhórsa Iosrael tuilleadh ionsaithe ar bhruachbhailte ar an taobh ó dheas de phríomhchathair na Liobáine, Béiriút, i gcaitheamh na hoíche. It is said that the Israelis notified people to leave the area before they fired the bombs. Deirtear gur thug na hIosraelaigh fógra do dhaoine imeacht as an gceantar sular scaoil siad na buamaí uathu. The Lebanese Government says that at least 95 people have been killed and up to 200 injured as a result of Israeli attacks in various parts of the country in the last twenty-four hours. Deir Rialtas na Liobáine gur maraíodh 95 duine ar a laghad agus gur gortaíodh suas le 200 de bharr ionsaithe na nIosraelach in áiteanna éagsúla sa tír le ceithre huaire fichead. In that one – according to the Syrian state news agency – three people were killed and nine were injured when the Israelis carried out an air attack on the capital of that country, Damascus. Ina cheann sin – dar le gníomhaireacht nuachta stát na Siria – maraíodh triúr agus gortaíodh naonúr nuair a rinne na hIosraelaigh aerionsaí ar phríomhchathair na tíre sin, an Damaisc. The Israelis have killed around 1,000 civilians in Lebanon – as well as several senior members of Hezbollah – since they began bombing the country two weeks ago. Áirítear thart ar 1,000 sibhialtach a bheith maraithe ag na hIosraelaigh sa Liobáin – chomh maith le roinnt comhaltaí sinsearacha de Hezbollah – ó thosaigh siad ag buamáil na tíre coicís ó shin. It is also estimated that a million people have fled their towns as a result of the fighting. Meastar freisin go bhfuil milliún duine tar éis teitheadh óna mbailte de bharr na cogaíochta.

Na scórtha taidhleoir siúlta amach agus Netanyahu ag labhairt. The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, was speaking before the General Assembly of the United Nations later. Bhí Príomhaire Iosrael, Benjamin Netanyahu, ag labhairt os comhair Chomhthionól Ginearálta na Náisiún Aontaithe ar ball. During his speech, he accused the United Nations of being an “anti-Jewish scum”. Le linn a oráide, chuir sé i leith na Náisiún Aontaithe gur “eanach frith-Ghiúdach” atá ann. He warned Iran not to attack his country and was vague in his comments on Israel’s willingness to continue talks on implementing a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon. Chuir sé fainic ar an Iaráin gan ionsaí a dhéanamh ar a thír agus bhí sé doiléir ina chuid cainte maidir le toilteanas Iosrael leanúint le cainteanna maidir le sos cogaidh a thabhairt i bhfeidhm in Gaza ná sa Liobáin. Half of the diplomats present left the room when Netanyahu began to speak, scores of them. D’fhág leath de na taidhleoirí a bhí i láthair an seomra nuair a thosaigh Netanyahu ag labhairt, na scórtha acu. Meanwhile, many explosions were heard throughout Beirut today and Israel says it has attacked a “Hezbollah center” in a village in the south of the city. Idir an dá linn, bhí go leor pléascanna le cloisteáil ar fud Beiriút inniu agus deir Iosrael go bhfuil siad i ndiaidh ionsaí a dhéanamh ar “lárionad Hezbollah” i sráidbhaile i ndeisceart na cathrach. At least one person was killed and 50 injured in that attack, according to Hezbollah’s television service, al-Manar. Maraíodh duine amháin ar a laghad agus gortaíodh 50 duine san ionsaí sin, de réir sheirbhís teilifíse Hezbollah, al- Manar. The leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, was not injured in the explosion, according to sources in the region. Níor gortaíodh ceannaire Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, sa phléasc, dar le foinsí sa réigiún. It is reported that there was a clampar in the city. Tuairiscítear go raibh clampar sa chathair. Ambulances were trying to come to the aid of people injured in the explosions and the roads were crowded with people fleeing the city. Bhí lucht na n- otharcharr ag iarraidh teacht i gcabhair ar dhaoine a gortaíodh sna pléascanna agus bhí na bóithre plódaithe agus daoine ag teitheadh ón gcathair. Authorities in Lebanon say 800 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since Monday. Deir na húdaráis sa Liobáin go bhfuil 800 duine maraithe in ionsaithe de chuid Iosrael ón Luan. And Israel has killed 42,000 people in Gaza since October 7. Agus tá 42,000 duine maraithe in Gaza ag Iosrael ón 7 Deireadh Fómhair. Speaking in New York before the United Nations, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati today accused Israel of waging a “genocidal war” and urged the international community to stop them. Agus é ag caint i Nua-Eabhrac os comhair na Náisiún Aontaithe, chuir Príomhaire na Liobáine, Najib Mikati, i leith Iosrael inniu go bhfuil “cogadh cinedhíothach” ar bun acu agus ghríosaigh sé an pobal idirnáisiúnta chun stop a chur leo.

Rialacháin nua maidir leis an mbulaí ollmhór sínithe. Rural and Community Development Minister Heather Humphreys has signed new regulations that will ban XL bully (or giant bully) dogs in this State. Tá an tAire Forbartha Tuaithe agus Pobail Heather Humphreys tar éis rialacháin nua a shíniú a chuirfeas cosc ar mhadraí den phór bulaí XL (nó bulaí ollmhór) sa Stát seo. It will be a two stage process. Próiseas dhá chéim a bheas ann. From next Tuesday, October 1, it will not be allowed to import, breed, sell or give to another person a giant bull. Ón Máirt seo chugainn, 1 Deireadh Fómhair, ní bheidh cead bulaí ollmhór a iompórtáil, a phórú, a dhíol ná a thabhairt do dhuine eile. From 1 February 2025, a person without an exemption certificate would not be allowed to have a giant bully. Ón 1 Feabhra 2025, ní bheadh cead bulaí ollmhór a bheith ag duine gan teastas díolúine. If these regulations are not met, the dogs can be captured and killed. Mura gcomhlíonfar na rialacháin sin, is féidir na madraí a ghabháil agus a bhású. Local authorities are responsible for issuing exemption certificates but dogs must first be licensed and clipped and microchipped. Is iad na húdáráis áitiúla a bheas freagrach as teastais díolúine a lamháil ach ní mór do mhadraí a bheith ceadúnaithe agus gearrtha agus micrishlis a bheith iontu i dtosach. The XL bully is already completely banned in the North and Britain and Minister Humphreys believes that this State should join them. Tá cosc iomlán ar an mbulaí XL cheana féin sa Tuaisceart agus sa Bhreatain agus creideann an tAire Humphreys gur cheart don Stát seo a bheith ar aon bhuille leo. The safety of the public is her biggest concern, she said, especially in light of the recent attacks by massive bullies on people in this country. Sábháilteacht an phobail is mó is cás léi, a dúirt sí, go háirithe i bhfianaise ionsaithe a rinne bulaithe ollmhóra ar dhaoine sa tír seo le gairid. A 23-year-old woman, Nicole Morey, died after being attacked by a massive bully at her home in Fedamare in Co Limerick at the beginning of the summer. Bhásaigh bean 23 bliain d’aois, Nicole Morey, tar éis do bhulaí ollmhór í a ionsaí ina teach cónaithe i bhFeadamair i gCo Luimnigh i dtús an tsamhraidh. Eleven days ago, a man was injured when one of those dogs grabbed him in north Dublin. Aon lá dhéag ó shin, gortaíodh fear nuair a rug ceann de na madraí sin air i dtuaisceart Bhaile Átha Cliath. Last month, a one-year-old girl was seriously injured when she was attacked by a huge bully in Co Kerry. An mhí seo caite, gortaíodh go dona cailín beag bliain d’aois nuair a thug bulaí ollmhór fogha fúithi i gCo Chiarraí. In November 2022, a young boy, Alejandro Mizsan, was seriously injured when he was attacked by a huge bully while playing with his friends in a park in Enniscorthy in Co Wexford. I mí na Samhna 2022, bhain drochghortuithe do bhuachaill óg, Alejandro Mizsan, nuair a d’ionsaigh bulaí ollmhór é agus é ag súgradh lena chairde i bpáirc in Inis Córthaidh i gCo Loch Garman. The new law, however, is a bitter drink for people with massive bullies and for animal welfare organizations. Is searbh an deoch í an dlí nua, áfach, do dhaoine a bhfuil bulaithe ollmhóra acu agus d’eagraíochtaí cúraim ainmhithe leis. Yesterday, a group of them marched as far as Dáil Éireann demanding that the new regulations be amended. Inné, mháirseáil grúpa díobh chomh fada le Dáil Éireann agus iad ag éileamh na rialacháin nua a leasú. Supporting them are Chris Andrews from Sinn Féin and Neasa Hourigan from the Green Party.

An Liobáin: caint ar shos comhraic ach maireann an bhuamáil. Israeli military forces are continuing their bombing of Lebanon since the beginning of this week despite requests from the United States and France to implement a ceasefire. Tá fórsaí míleata Iosrael ag leanúint den bhuamáil atá siad a dhéanamh ar an Liobáin ó thús na seachtaine seo ainneoin iarratais ó na Stáit Aontaithe agus ón bhFrainc sos comhraic a chur i bhfeidhm. The Government of Lebanon indicated that thirteen people were killed in bombing attacks carried out by the Israeli air force on parts of the east and south of the country during the night. Thug Rialtas na Liobáine le fios gur maraíodh trí dhuine dhéag in ionsaithe buamála a rinne aerfhórsa Iosrael ar áiteanna in oirthear agus i ndeisceart na tíre i gcaitheamh na hoíche. However, that report appears to have been a hoax since it was later reported that 23 people – mostly women and children – were killed when the Israelis bombed a small town in eastern Lebanon. Is cosúil gur maolaisnéis a bhí sa tuairsic sin, áfach, ó tuairiscíodh ina dhiaidh sin gur maraíodh 23 duine – mná agus leanaí a bhformhór – nuair a bhuamáil na hIosraelaigh baile beag in oirthear na Liobáine. The dead were apparently refugees from the war in Syria. Teifigh ón gcogadh sa tSiria a bhí sna mairbh, de réir dealraimh. According to the Israelis, their missiles hit 75 Hezbollah sites – arsenals, rocket launching bases and other military infrastructure. Dar leis na hIosraelaigh gur bhuail a gcuid diúracán 75 ionad de chuid Hezbollah – armlanna, bunáiteanna lainseála roicéad agus bonneagar míleata eile. Yesterday, the bombing killed at least 72 people and injured hundreds. Inné, maraíodh 72 duine ar a laghad agus gortaíodh na céadta de bharr na buamála. The Israelis claimed they attacked Hezbollah positions and destroyed nearly 300 of them. Mhaígh na hIosraelaigh gur ionaid de chuid Hezbollah a d’ionsaigh siad agus gur scrios siad beagnach 300 acu. About 100,000 people have fled the danger zone in the hope of finding refuge in the capital, Beirut, and other towns in northern Lebanon. Tá thart ar 100,000 duine tar éis teitheadh ó bhearna an bhaoil ar shúil go bhfaighidh siad tearmann sa phríomhchathair, Béiriút, agus i mbailte eile i dtuaisceart na Liobáine. In New York, US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron both expressed concern that there would be an all-out war in the region. I Nua-Eabhrac, dúirt Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe Joe Biden agus Uachtarán na Fraince Emmanuel Macron araon go raibh imní orthu go mbeadh cogadh iomlán sa réigiún. They called for a three-week ceasefire to be implemented and to seize the opportunity to engage in talks about easing the crisis.

Ospidéal leanaí: dáta críochnaithe curtha siar 14 uair ó 2020. The completion date of the new children’s hospital has been pushed back fourteen times by four years by building contractors BAM, the Joint Oireachtas Committee for Health was told today. Tá dáta críochnaithe an ospidéil nua leanaí curtha siar ceithre huaire dhéag le ceithre bliana ag na conraitheoirí tógála BAM, a dúradh leis an gComhchoiste Oireachtais um Sláinte inniu. Speaking before the committee, the chief executive of the hospital’s board, David Gunning, said that BAM now thinks the hospital will be completed by June next year, which is 31 months later than last indicated. the issue was discussed with the company. Ag labhairt dó i láthair an choiste, dúirt príomhfheidhmeannach bhord an ospidéil, David Gunning, go gceapann BAM anois go mbeidh an t-ospidéal críochnaithe faoi Mheitheamh na bliana seo chugainn, sin 31 mí níos moille ná mar a tugadh le fios an uair dheireanach a pléadh an cheist leis an gcomhlacht. David Gunning claimed this was not good enough and said the board could not accept the endless postponement. Mhaígh David Gunning nach raibh seo maith go leor agus dúirt nach bhféadfadh an bord glacadh leis an gcur siar gan deireadh. He admitted, however, that there was no contractual arrangement regarding a completion date set out in writing and he did not provide any information about what the board intended to do to resolve the problem. D’admhaigh sé, áfach, nach raibh socrú conarthach maidir le dáta críochnaithe leagtha amach i scríbhinn agus níor thug sé aon eolas faoi cad a bhí ar intinn ag an mbord a dhéanamh chun an fhadhb a réiteach. David Gunning informed the committee that the Government allocated a capital budget of €1.88 billion for the hospital last February and confirmed that a total of €1.478 billion had been spent on the project to date, including value added tax. Thug David Gunning le fios don choiste gur lamháil an Rialtas buiséad caipitil de €1.88 billiún le haghaidh an ospidéil i mí Feabhra seo caite agus dhearbhaigh gur caitheadh €1.478 billiún san iomlán ar an togra go dtí seo, cáin bhreisluacha san áireamh. The quality and timeliness of the construction and fitting out work at the hospital is being questioned. Tá amhras á chaitheamh le hatha ar fheabhas agus ar thráthúlacht na hoibre tógála agus feistiúcháin san ospidéal. Despite this, BAM said yesterday that the company was committed to completing the hospital “as soon as possible for the children of Ireland”. Ina ainneoin sin, dúirt BAM inné go raibh an comhlacht geallmhar ar an ospidéal a chríochnú “a luaithe ab fhéidir ar son leanaí na hÉireann”. According to Sinn Féin’s health spokesperson, David Cullinane, different parties are ready to blame each other for the delay and asked both the hospital board and BAM to loosen this knot. Dar le hurlabhraí sláinte Shinn Féin, David Cullinane, gur réidh ó dhreamanna éagsúla an milleán faoin moill a chur ar a chéile agus d’iarr ar bhord an ospidéil agus ar BAM araon an tsnaidhm seo a scaoileadh. He also claimed that the Government was sending the pooch from their own house because they only had the foal part of the lattice and that they had no responsibility for the whole inefficiency. Mhaígh sé freisin go raibh an Rialtas ag cur an phúca óna dteach féin i leith is nach raibh acu ach cuid an tsearraigh den chléith agus nach raibh aon fhreagracht orthu as an mí-éifeacht ar fad. It must also be taken into account, said David Cullinane, that it was Taoiseach Simon Harris who signed the “flawed” contract with BAM on the first occasion when he was Minister for Health. Ní mór a chur san áireamh chomh maith, arsa David Cullinane, gurbh é an Taoiseach Simon Harris a shínigh an conradh “lochtach” le BAM ar an gcéad ásc nuair a bhí sé ina Aire Sláinte. It was revealed yesterday that a confidential report casts doubt on how prepared the administrative staff of the new hospital are to take over the place and start working there. Nochtadh inné go gcaitear amhras i dtuarascáil faoi rún ar chomh hullamh agus atá foireann riartha an ospidéil nua leis an áit a thógáil ar láimh agus le dul i mbun oibre ann.

Tá cruinnú éigeandála de Chomhairle Slándála na Náisiún Aontaithe iarrtha ag an bhFrainc leis an ngéarchéim a phlé. A spokesman for the American Government said that “the United States does not support the escalation of hostilities across the border between Israel and Hezbollah”. Dúirt urlabhraí ó Rialtas Mheiriceá “nach dtacaíonn na Stáit Aonaithe le géarú na cogaíochta trasna na teorann idir Iosrael agus Hezbollah”.

Ionsaithe buamála déanta ag Iosrael ar dheisceart na Liobáine. Israeli forces carried out bombing attacks on sites in southern Lebanon this morning in an apparent salvo against Hezbollah, after Israeli secret agents killed and injured members of that organization and civilians with booby traps for two days. Rinne fórsaí Iosrael ionsaithe buamála ar ionaid i ndeisceart na Liobáine ar maidin inniu le cneá oscailte Hezbollah a shailleadh, is cosúil, tar éis do ghníomhairí rúnda Iosrael comhaltaí den eagraíocht sin agus sibhialtaigh a mharú agus a ghortú le bobghaistí le dhá lá. Yesterday, 20 people were killed and approximately 450 others were injured when handheld radio devices belonging to members of Hezbollah exploded in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, and in the Bekaa Valley in the east of the country. Inné, maraíodh 20 duine agus gortaíodh tuairim is 450 duine eile nuair a phléasc gairis raidió láimhe le comhaltaí de Hezbollah i bpríomhchathair na Liobáine, Béiriút, agus i nGleann Bheiceá in oirthear na tíre. The day before, twelve people were killed – including two children – and nearly 3,000 others were injured when thousands of cellphones exploded with members of Hezbollah in Beirut, the Bekaa Valley and southern Lebanon. An lá roimhe sin, maraíodh dháréag – beirt pháistí ina measc – agus leonadh beagnach 3,000 duine eile nuair a phléasc na mílte glaoire póca le comhaltaí de Hezbollah i mBéiriut, i nGleann Bheiceá agus i ndeisceart na Liobáine. About 3,000 pagers apparently exploded when a coded message was sent to them. Is cosúil gur phléasc thart ar 3,000 glaoire nuair a seoladh teachtaireacht chódaithe chucu. It is believed to have been a mass cyber attack and it was reported yesterday that Israeli secret agents may have planted small explosive devices in the pagers before Hezbollah bought them from a company based in Taiwan. Glactar leis gur oll-chibirionsaí a bhí ann agus tuairiscíodh inné go mb’fhéidir gur chuir gníomhairí rúnda Iosrael gairis bheaga phléascacha sna glaoirí sular cheannaigh Hezbollah iad ó chomhlacht atá bunaithe sa Téaváin. In a statement, however, the Gold Apollo company indicated that they did not make the callers even though they bear the company’s brand. I ráiteas, áfach, thug an comhlacht Gold Apollo le fios nach ndearna siadsan na glaoirí cé go bhfuil branda an chomhlachta orthu. According to the statement, they were made by a company based in the capital of Hungary, Budapest. De réir an ráitis, is comhlacht atá bunaithe i bpríomhchathair na hUngáire, Búdaipeist, a rinne iad. As with the handheld radio devices – or walkie-talkies as they are called – today it is reported that they were branded by a company from Japan. Mar leis na gairis raidió láimhe – nó siúlscéalaithe mar a thugtar orthu – tuairiscítear inniu go raibh branda chomhlacht ón tSeapáin orthu. In a statement, however, the ICOM company said that they stopped making those particular walkers ten years ago. I ráiteas, ámh, dúirt an comhlacht ICOM gur éirigh siad as na siúlscéalaithe áirithe sin a dhéanamh deich mbliana ó shin.

Cinneadh faoi airgead Apple le fógairt sa Bhuiséad. It is estimated that the Government will set out in the Budget, a week from next Tuesday, how the big tax windfall from Apple will be spent. Meastar go leagfaidh an Rialtas amach sa Bhuiséad, seachtain ón Máirt seo chugainn, conas a chaithfear an t-amhantar mór cánach ó Apple. In a meeting of the Fine Gael parliamentary party last night, Taoiseach Simon Harris indicated that he hoped the Government would have made a decision regarding the money by 1 October. I gcruinniú de pháirtí parlaiminte Fhine Gael aréir, thug an Taoiseach Simon Harris le fios go raibh súil aige go mbeadh cinneadh déanta ag an Rialtas maidir leis an airgead faoin 1 Deireadh Fómhair. Last week, the European Court of Justice ruled that Apple would have to pay €13 billion in taxes to Ireland, as ordered by the European Union in 2016. An tseachtain seo caite, rialaigh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais Eorpach go gcaithfeadh Apple €13 billiún i gcánacha a íoc le hÉirinn, mar a bhí ordaithe ag an Aontas Eorpach in 2016. The money was deposited in an escrow account while the case was ongoing and due to interest it is now worth €14.1 billion. Bhí an t-airgead i dtaisce i gcuntas eascró fad is a bhí an cás ar siúl agus de bharr úis is fiú €14.1 billiún anois é. In last night’s meeting, the Taoiseach confirmed that the money would be invested in further developing the State’s infrastructure. Sa chruinniú aréir, dheimhnigh an Taoiseach go n- infheisteofaí an t-airgead i mbonneagar an Stáit a fhorbairt tuilleadh. It is understood that he had in mind housing, water and energy infrastructure. Tuigtear gur bonneagar tithíochta, uisce agus fuinnimh a bhí ar intinn aige. The Government has already decided not to make the money available for daily spending or to compensate tax reductions for the Exchequer. Tá sé socraithe cheana féin ag an Rialtas gan an t-airgead a chur ar fáil faoi thuairim caiteachais laethúla ná chun laghduithe cánach a chúiteamh don Státchiste. According to Sinn Féin, however, the public should be given a voice on the issue and wait until after the general election before making any decision about the money. Dar le Sinn Féin, áfach, ba chóir guth a thabhairt don phobal ar an gceist agus fanacht go dtí tar éis an olltoghcháin sula ndéanfaí aon chinneadh faoin airgead.

Leanaí tinne as Gaza le cóireáil leighis a fháil in Éirinn. Health Minister Stephen Donnelly is to ask the Cabinet for permission to bring scores of sick children from Gaza to Ireland to be treated in hospitals in this country. Tá an tAire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly le cead a iarraidh ar an gComhaireacht na scórtha leanaí tinne a thabhairt as Gaza go hÉirinn le cóir leighis a chur orthu in ospidéil sa tír seo. Children with cancer, blood acidosis or other serious illness are involved, but children with orthopedic needs are not currently being taken into account. Leanaí a bhfuil ailse, aicíd fola nó galar tromchúiseach eile orthu atá i gceist, ach níl leanaí a bhfuil riachtanais ortaipéideacha acu á gcur san áireamh faoi láthair. The matter will be discussed in a meeting of the Cabinet today. Pléifear an scéal i gcruinniú den Chomhaireacht inniu. The plan has been prepared for several months by various Government Departments in collaboration with medical professionals and the Irish Red Cross. Tá an plean á réiteach le roinnt míonna ag Ranna Rialtais éagsúla i gcomhar le lucht leighis agus Cros Dhearg na hÉireann. According to the plan, a medical team from Ireland will go to Gaza to assess sick children and to get more information about their needs from their families or other people who are caring for them. De réir an phlean, rachaidh foireann leighis as Éirinn go Gaza le measúnú a dhéanamh ar leanaí tinne agus le tuilleadh eolais a fháil faoina gcuid riachtanas óna muintreacha nó ó dhaoine eile atá ag tabhairt aire dóibh. It is intended to bring around 30 children to Ireland before the end of the year and more afterwards. Tá sé i gceist thart ar 30 leanbh a thabhairt go hÉirinn roimh dheireadh na bliana agus tuilleadh ina dhiaidh sin. Caregivers will accompany the children and they will live in homes with health care workers working in this country. Tiocfaidh cúramóirí in éineacht leis na leanaí agus cónóidh siadsan i dtithe le cúramóirí sláinte atá ag obair sa tír seo. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ
