Soft plastic can now be recycled.

Is féidir ábhar bog plaisteach a athchúrsáil feasta.

Plastic packaging of all kinds can now be put in recycling bins, including soft materials, said Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications Ossian Smyth of the Green Party.

Is féidir pacáistiú plaisteach de gach saghas a chur in araidí athchúrsála feasta, ábhar bog ina measc, a dúirt an tAire Stáit sa Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide Ossian Smyth ón gComhaontas Glas.

To date, recyclable bins have been approved as hard materials, such as plastic bottles.

Go dtí seo, is ábhar crua, cosúil le buidéil phlaisteacha, a ceadaíodh in araidí athchúrsála.

Ossian Smyth has announced that soft recyclables in Ireland are now due to technological advances.

D'fhógair Ossian Smyth gur mar gheall ar fhoráis teicneolaíochta atá ábhar bog in-athchúrsáilte in Éirinn anois.

Currently, he said, only a third of plastic packaging in this country is recycled.

Faoi láthair, a dúirt sé, ní dhéantar athchúrsáil ach ar an tríú cuid de phacáistiú plaisteach sa tír seo.

He indicated that the aim is to increase this amount to 50% by 2025 and 55% by 2030.

Thug sé le fios go bhfuil sé mar aidhm an méid seo a ardú go dtí 50 faoin gcéad faoin mbliain 2025 agus 55 faoin gcéad faoi 2030.

The good news announced today is a step towards that goal, he said.

Céim i dtreo na sprice sin is ea an dea-scéal a fógaíodh inniu, a dúirt sé.

Previously, soft materials could not be separated from hard materials in waste recycling centers but this facility now exists thanks to the new technology.

Roimhe seo, ní bhítí in ann ábhar bog a scaradh ó ábhar crua in ionaid athchúrsála dramhaíola ach tá an áis sin ann anois a bhuíochas ar an teicneolaíocht úr.

Where no soft material can be recycled, for whatever reason, it will be used as a fuel for cement kilns.

Sa chás nach bhféadfar aon ábhar bog a athchúrsáil, cibé ar bith cén fáth, bainfear leas as mar bhreosla d'áitheanna stroighne.

People need to make sure that the material they put in bins is clean and dry.

Ní mór do dhaoine a chinntiú go bhfuil an t-ábhar a chuireann siad in araidí glan agus tirim.

Daoine a raibh covid 19 orthu an dream a cailleadh ach ní gá gurbh é an galar ba thrúig bháis dóibh.

Bulgaria was worse off than any other country in Europe, reporting 55.67 deaths per 100,000 people in that fortnight.

"Up to 3,000 new Covid-19 cases a day in two weeks".

"Suas le 3,000 cás nua covid 19 sa ló faoi cheann coicíse".

There could be between 2,500 and 3,000 new Covid-19 cases a day in this country by the middle of this month - at best - according to the National Public Health Emergency Team.

D'fhéadfadh go mbeadh idir 2,500 agus 3,000 cás nua covid 19 sa ló sa tír seo faoi lár na míosa seo - agus sin sa chás is fearr - dar leis an bhFoireann Náisiúnta Éigeandála Sláinte Poiblí.

If the prophecy comes true, the Emergency Team says, health services will be in high demand forever and there will be between 500 and 700 patients with Covid- 19 in hospitals within two weeks, between 80 and 130 in intensive care units.

Má thagann an tuar faoin tairngreacht, a deir an Fhoireann Éigeandála, beidh an-éileamh go deo ar sheirbhísí sláinte agus beidh idir 500 agus 700 othar le covid 19 sna hospidéil faoi cheann coicíse, idir 80 agus 130 acu in aonaid dianchúraim.

The latest letter from the Emergency Team to the Government states that the situation will only get worse before it gets better.

Sa litir is deireanaí atá seolta ag an bhFoireann Éigeandála chuig an Rialtas, maítear gur chun olcais a rachas an scéal feasta sula dtiocfaidh aon fheabhas air.

Those who have not yet received the vaccine are most at risk, the letter states.

Is iad na daoine nach bhfuil an vacsaín faighte acu fós is mó atá i nguais, a deitear sa litir.

The letter also contains a password about new variants of the crown virus that may emerge unexpectedly.

Tá focal faire sa litir freisin faoi athraithigh nua den choróinvíreas a d'fhéadfadh a theacht chun cinn gan choinne.

Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said the Emergency Team submitted four models to the Government last week.

Dúirt an tAire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly gur chuir an Fhoireann Éigeandála ceithre mhúnla faoi bhráid an Rialtais an tseachtain seo caite.

According to the most optimistic model, he said, things will improve soon and according to the other three things will get worse from now until mid - October, when the virus will start to reverse.

De réir an mhúnla is dóchasaí, a dúirt sé, tiocfaidh feabhas ar chúrsaí go luath agus de réir na dtrí cinn eile rachaidh cúrsaí chun donais as seo go dtí lár Dheireadh Fómhair, tráth a thosós an víreas ag cúlú.

Thug an Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Sláinte le fios inniu go bhfuil imní orthu faoi athraitheach nua den víreas a aithníodh i dtosach sa Cholóim i mí Eanáir seo caite agus a bhfuil Mu [foghr.

Public transport services back to normal.

Seirbhísí iompair phoiblí ar ais mar a bhíodh.

Public transport services are back to normal before the pandemic since this morning.

Tá seirbhísí iompair phoiblí ar ais mar a bhíodh roimh an bpaindéim ó mhaidin inniu.

Health Minister Stephen Donnelly pointed out that the Government had decided to provide a full service again and that the decision had not been taken on the advice of the National Public Health Emergency Team.

Thug an tAire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly le fios gurb é an Rialtas a bheartaigh seirbhís iomlán a chur ar fáil arís agus nach de réir comhairle ón bhFoireann Náisiúnta Éigeandála Sláinte Poiblí a rinneadh an cinneadh.

Stephen Donnelly said Transport Minister Éamon Ryan was adamant on reallocating full service in light of the major difficulties in maintaining constraints for transport companies.

Dúirt Stephen Donnelly go raibh an tAire Iompair Éamon Ryan láidir ar sheirbhís iomlán a cheadú arís i bhfianaise na ndeacrachtaí móra a bhí srianta a chothú do na comhlachtaí iompair.

Speaking on RTÉ, however, Donnelly acknowledged that the decision risks increasing the number of Covid-19 cases in the country.

Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, ghlac an Donnghaileach leis, áfach, go bhfuil an baol ann go méadóidh an líon cásanna covid 19 sa tír de bharr an chinnidh.

According to the plan announced by the Government yesterday to end the Covid-19 restrictions, people will always have to wear masks on buses and trains.

De réir an phlean a d'fhógair an Rialtas inné faoi dheireadh a chur le srianta covid 19, beidh ar dhaoine maisc a chaitheamh i gcónaí ar bhusanna agus ar thraenacha.

Stephen Donnelly again appealed to people who are still in two councils about the vaccine, he begged them to give him the drink of the bitter drink.

D'achainigh Stephen Donnelly arís ar dhaoine atá idir dhá chomhairle fós faoin vacsaín, d'achainigh sé orthu ól na dí seirbhe a thabhairt air.

He also indicated that 50% attendance is likely to be allowed at the All- Ireland Championship final between Mayo and Tyrone in Croke Park on 11 September.

Thug sé le fios chomh maith gur dóichí go gceadófar tinreamh 50 faoin gcéad ag cluiche ceannais peile Chraobh na hÉireann idir Maigh Eo agus Tír Eoghain i bPáirc an Chrócaigh ar an 11 Meán Fómhair.

That's an oireachtas 40,000 people.

Sin oireachtas 40,000 duine.

He said he was concerned about the rise in the number of Covid-19 cases in the North, Scotland and Wales after the authorities in those places lifted many restrictions.

Dúirt sé go bhfuil imní air faoin ardú ar an líon cásanna covid 19 sa Tuaisceart, in Albain agus sa Bhreatain Bheag tar éis do na húdaráis sna háiteanna sin deireadh a chur le go leor srianta.

It is understood that large crowds will be allowed to attend such religious and sporting events from 6 September.

Tuigtear go mbeidh cead ag sluaite móra freastal ar leithéidí ócáidí creidimh agus imeachtaí spóirt ón 6 Meán Fómhair.

Under the new regulations, 60% attendance will be allowed at indoor events and 75% at outdoor events.

De réir na rialachán nua, is tinreamh 60 faoin gcéad a cheadófar ag imeachtaí faoi dhíon agus 75 faoin gcéad ag imeachtaí faoin aer.

After all, it is accepted that people will always have to wear masks in shops, on buses, on trains and in all kinds of health centers.

Ina dhiaidh sin ar fad, glactar leis go mbeidh ar dhaoine maisc a chaitheamh i gcónaí i siopaí, ar bhusanna, ar thraenacha agus i ngach cineál ionaid sláinte.

Ní raibh sé sásta mórán eolais a thabhairt maidir le dátaí, ach dúirt sé go raibh sé ag súil go mbeadh iompar poiblí ag feidhmiú faoi lán-acmhainneacht faoin tseachtain seo chugainn.

And he said he expected announcements and confirmations to be announced soon as well.

Agus dúirt sé go raibh sé ag súil go mbeadh fógra maidir le comaoineacha agus cóineartuithe go luath freisin.
