Overhaul of the high-speed rail network in France.

Coirluascadh ar ghréasán iarnróid ardluais sa bhFrainc.

A "massive attack" has been carried out in France on the railway network, TGV, and 800,000 passengers have been displaced as a result.

Tá "ionsaí ollmhór" déanta sa bhFráinc ar an ngréasan iarnróid, TGV agus cuireadh as do 800,000 paisinéir dá bharr.

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games will take place in Paris tonight.

Beidh searmanas oscailte na gCluichí Oilimpeacha ar siúl i bPáras anocht.

French Transport Minister Patrice Vergriete said today that it was a shameful criminal act.

Dúirt Aire Iompair na Fraince, Patrice Vergriete, inniu gur gníomh coiriúil náireach a bhí ann.

He indicated that there would be "major implications" and that only half of the TGV trains going north, east and north-west will be operating as a result.

Thug sé le fios go mbeadh "impleachtaí móra" ann agus nach mbeidh ach leath na dtraenacha TGV ag dul ó thuaidh, soir agus siar ó thuaidh ag feidhmiú dá bharr.

The trains on the TGV network are high speed services.

Is seirbhísí ardluais iad na traenacha ar an ngréasán TGV.

The network is run by the state company SNCF.

Is é an comhlacht stáit SNCF a reachtálann an gréasán.

Passengers have been advised to postpone their journeys, as many trains are being sent back to where they originally came from.

Cuireadh comhairle ar phaisinéirí a dturas a chur ar athló, mar tá go leor leor traenacha á gcur ar ais go dtí an áit ar tháinig siad as ar dtús.

It will be like that, they say, until Monday morning at least.

Is mar sin a bheidh sé, a deir siad, go dtí maidin Dé Luain ar a laghad.

SNCF says arsonists set fire to some of the railways between Paris and cities in the north, west and east of France.

Deir SNCF gur chuir coirloisceoirí cuid de na hiarnróid idir Páras agus cathracha i dtuaisceart, in iarthar agus in oirthear na Fraince trí thine.

Services to Lille, Bordeaux and Strasbourg, for example, have been disrupted.

Tá curtha isteach ar sheirbhísí go Lille, go Bordeaux agus go Strasbourg, mar shampla.

However, no damage was done to the railway from the south-east, as the arsonists were stopped before they got as far.

Ní dhearnadh aon díobhóil don iarnród soir ó theas, áfach, mar cuireadh stop leis na coirloisceoirí sula ndeachaigh siad chomh fada leis.

There is a lot of security in place in France as the Olympic Games approach us in Paris.

Tá go leor slándála i bhfeidhm sa bhFrainc agus na Cluichí Oileampacha ag teannadh linn i bPáras.

The French people remember well the attacks in Paris and Nice in the last ten years.

Tá cuimhne mhaith ag muintir na Fraince ar na hionsaithe i bPáras agus in Nice le deich mbliana anuas.

There is now concern among the organizers of the Olympic Games and among the authorities that the fear among the public will intensify in light of this damage to the railway network.

Tá imní ann anois i measc lucht eagraithe na gCluichí Oileampeacha agus i measc na n-údaráis go ngéaróidh ar an bhfaitíos i measc an phobail i bhfianaise na díobhála seo ar an ngréasán iarnróid.

The coordinated strikes on the rail network will feed into a sense of apprehension ahead of the Olympics opening ceremony in the heart of Paris later today.
