Presented by Liz Truss to Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng.

A thópar tugtha ag Liz Truss don Seansailéir Kwasi Kwarteng.

British Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng has been fired from his position by Prime Minister Liz Truss in light of the financial markets' disapproval of his fiscal policies and the concurrence of Conservative MPs.

Tá Seansailéir na Breataine Kwasi Kwarteng briste as a phost ag an bPríomh-Aire Liz Truss i bhfianaise neamhghlacadh na margaí airgeadais lena pholasaithe fioscacha agus chomhéirí fheisirí parlaiminte an Pháirtí Chaomhaigh.

Former British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has been appointed Chancellor in his place.

Tá iar- Rúnaí Gnóthaí Eachtracha na Breataine Jeremy Hunt ceaptha ina Sheansailéir ina áit.

Liz Truss indicated that she regretted the departure of Kwasi Kwarteng and claimed that he had put the national interest before his own.

Thug Liz Truss le fios go mb'oth léi imeacht Kwasi Kwarteng agus mhaígh go raibh an leas náisiúnta curtha aige roimh a leas féin.

The story concerns how the mini-budget announced by Kwasi Kwarteng three weeks ago, shortly after Liz Truss was elected Prime Minister, was accepted and not accepted.

Baineann an scéal leis an gcaoi ar glacadh agus nár glacadh leis an mionbhuiséad a d'fhógair Kwasi Kwarteng trí seachtaine ó shin, go gairid tar éis do Liz Truss a bheith tofa ina Príomh-Aire.

According to the mini-budget - which the Chancellor and the Prime Minister agreed on - a wide range of tax cuts would be introduced and more sectors of the economy would be deregulated in the hope of bringing a new economic boom under Britain.

De réir an mhionbhuiséid - a raibh an Seansailéir agus an Príomh-Aire ar aon intinn faoi - thabharfaí raon leathan ciorruithe cánach isteach agus dhírialófaí tuilleadh earnálacha den gheilleagar le súil borradh úr eacnamaíochta a chur faoin mBreatain.

However, these policies shocked the financial markets, and the value of the pound fell, and the costs of mortgages and other loans rose.

Bhain na polasaithe seo scanradh as lucht na margaí airgeadais, áfach, agus thit luach an phuint, agus d'ardaigh costais morgáistí agus iasachtaí eile.

At a press event in the evening, Liz Truss announced that she now intends to go back on one of her policies and raise corporate tax as Boris Johnson had planned before her.

Ag preasócáid tráthnóna, d'fhógair Liz Truss go bhfuil rún aici anois dul siar ar cheann dá polasaithe agus cáin chorparáideach a ardú mar a bhí beartaithe ag Boris Johnson roimpi.

It is not clear, however, whether these events will be enough for Liz Truss to save herself from her Conservative Party escapades.

Níl sé soiléir, ámh, an leor na himeachtaí seo le Liz Truss í féin a thabhairt slán óna heascairde sa Pháirtí Caomhach.

The members of the party are not overjoyed, nor are they at risk of it, about what the recent polls have indicated.

Ní róshásta, ná baol air, atá feisirí an pháirtí faoina bhfuil á dtabhairt le fios ag na pobalbhreitheanna le gairid.

If those polls were true, and if there was a general election soon, the Tories would be thrashed.

Dá mb'fhíor do na pobalbhreitheanna sin, agus dá mbeadh olltoghchán ann gan mhoill, dhéanfaí slad ar na Tóraithe.

118 days was the shortest period spent by anyone as British Prime Minister.

118 lá an tréimhse ba ghairide a chaith aon duine mar Phríomh-Aire na Breataine.

It was the Tory George Canning in 1827.

B'in é an Tóraí George Canning sa bhliain 1827.

Liz Truss will not spend that many days in Downing Street until January 2 next year, if ever.

Ní bheidh an méid sin laethanta caite ag Liz Truss i Sráid Downing go dtí 2 Eanáir na bliana...
