The state visit of the King of England, Charles III, to France has been cancelled.

Cuairt stáit Rí Shasana, Séarlas III, chun na Fraince ar ceal.

The visit that was to be made by the King of England, Charles III, to France has been cancelled, in light of the protests in that country regarding pension issues.

Tá an chuairt a bhí le tabhairt ag Rí Shasana, Séarlas III, ar an bhFrainc curtha ar ceal, i bhfianaise na n-agóidí sa tír sin maidir le cúrsaí pinsin.

"The decision was taken this morning to cancel the visit after the French President, Emmanuel Macron, and King Charles III spoke to each other on the phone", a statement said.

"Glacadh an cinneadh ar maidin an chuairt a chur ar ceal i ndiaidh d'Uachtarán na Fraince, Emmanuel Macron, agus Rí Séarlas III labhairt lena chéile ar an bhfón", a dúradh i ráiteas.

"Another visit will be planned shortly."

"Déanfar cuairt eile a phleanáil go gairid."

Charles III's visit to France was to be his first state visit as King of England.

Bhí cuairt Shéarlais III ar an bhFrainc le bheith ar an gcéad chuairt stáit a thabharfadh sé mar Rí Shasana.

Clashes and protests have been going on in France for the past three months against French President Macron's controversial reform of the state pension.

Tá caismirtí agus agóidí ag dul ar aghaidh sa bhFrainc le trí mhí anuas i gcoinne an athchóirithe conspóidí atá déanta ag Uachtarán Macron na Fraince ar an bpinsean stáit.

Yesterday, there was a skirmish between the French security forces and the protesters.

Inné, bhí sliúchas idir fórsaí slándála na Fraince agus an lucht agóide.

It was the most violent day yet in the last three months.

Bhí sé ar an lá ab fhoréigní fós le trí mhí anuas.

457 people were arrested during the clashes and 441 members of the security forces were injured during the unrest.

Gabhadh 457 duine le linn na gcaismirtí agus gortaíodh 441 ball de na fórsaí slándála le linn na corraíola.

There were many cities in France, Paris among them.

Bhí go leor cathracha sa bhFrainc ina gcíor thuathail, Páras ina measc.

The protesters lit fires in the historic heart of that city.

Las an lucht agóide tinte i gcroílár stairiúil na cathrach sin.

In south-west France, the porch of the city hall in Bordeaux was set on fire.

In iardheisceart na Fraince, cuireadh póirse halla na cathrach in Bordeaux trí thine.

This mess was caused by the changes to the pension that the government implemented, without giving parliament the opportunity to vote on them.

Tarraingíodh an raic seo de bharr na n-athruithe ar an bpinsean a chuir an rialtas i bhfeidhm, gan deis a thabhairt don pharlaimint vótáil orthu.

This controversy is the worst domestic crisis of Emmanuel Macron, during this next presidential term.

Tá an chonspóid seo ar an ngéarchéim bhaile is measa a bhí ag Emmanuel Macron, le linn an tarna téarma uachtaránachta seo.

The unions are planning further strikes and protests for next Tuesday.

Tá tuilleadh stailceanna agus agóidí beartaithe ag na ceardchumainn don Mháirt seo chugainn.

King Charles III was to be on the next day of his state visit to France that day.

Bhí Rí Séarlas III le bheith ar an tarna lá dá chuairt stáit ar an bhFrainc ar an lá sin.

In south-west France, the porch of the city hall in Bordeaux was set on fire.

In iardheisceart na Fraince, cuireadh póirse halla na cathrach in Bordeaux trí thine.
