Conradh na Gaeilge supporting Irish language groups "in need".

Conradh na Gaeilge ag tacú le grúpaí Gaeilge "atá i ngátar".

North West Reporter Conradh na Gaeilge has made a public offer not to accept a sum in excess of € 40,000 from Foras na Gaeilge so that Foras na Gaeilge can make that money available to small Irish language community groups.

Tuairisceoir an Iarthuaiscirt Tá tairiscint phoiblí déanta ag Conradh na Gaeilge gan glacadh le suim os cionn €40,000 ó Fhoras na Gaeilge ionas gur féidir leis an Fhoras an t-airgead sin a chur ar fáil do ghrúpaí beaga pobail Gaeilge.

These groups - over 30 of them - are to be funded by Foras na Gaeilge under the Irish Language Networks Development Scheme, a new scheme which replaces the Irish Language Community Scheme.

Tá na grúpaí seo - os cionn 30 acu - le maoiniú ag Foras na Gaeilge faoin Scéim Forbartha Líonraí Gaeilge, scéim nua atá ag teacht in áit na Scéime Pobal Gaeilge.

Funding for the new scheme has been controversial since Foras na Gaeilge announced that € 47,000 a year was to be provided to each of the community groups.

Bhain conspóid leis an mhaoiniú don scéim nua ó d'fhógair Foras na Gaeilge go raibh €47,000 sa bhliain le cur ar fáil do gach aon cheann de na grúpaí pobail.

Foras na Gaeilge believes that the community groups can employ a person full time with that amount.

Creideann Foras na Gaeilge gur féidir leis na grúpaí pobail duine a fhostú go lánaimseartha leis an mhéid sin.

However, the community groups themselves believe that at least € 55,000 is required.

Creideann na grúpaí pobail féin, áfach, gur €55,000 ar a laghad atá de dhíth.

In an open letter sent by Conradh na Gaeilge to Foras na Gaeilge, the Conradh offered to refuse € 41,623 for the annual funding they receive from Foras na Gaeilge to be given to the community groups.

I litir oscailte a chuir Conradh na Gaeilge chuig Foras na Gaeilge, thairg an Conradh €41,623 as an mhaoiniú bliantúil a fhaigheann siad féin ón Fhoras a dhiúltú le go dtabharfaí é do na grúpaí pobail.

Conradh General Secretary Julian de Spáinn told RTÉ / TG4 News today that "we have made an honest offer to the board of. And we hope that it will be accepted.

Dúirt Ard-Rúnaí an Chonartha Julian de Spáinn le Nuacht RTÉ/TG4 inniu gur "tairiscint mhacánta atá déanta againn do bhord Fhoras na Gaeilge agus tá súil againn go nglacfar léi.

"Some groups are currently filling in the forms for the new scheme and the € 47,000 funding mentioned would not even cover the current officer 's salary.

"Tá cuid de na grúpaí ag líonadh na bhfoirmeacha don scéim nua faoi láthair agus ní chlúdódh an maoiniú €47,000 atá luaite leis fiú tuarastal an oifigigh reatha.

"They will not have money for your agenda or to pay bills.

"Ní bheidh airgead acu do chlár oibre nó le billí a íoc.

Conradh na Gaeilge funding would help them but it would be better for the Foundation to provide the total € 55,000 demanded by the groups.

Chabhródh maoiniú Chonradh na Gaeilge leo ach b’fhearr go gcuirfeadh an Foras an €55,000 iomlán a d’éiligh na grúpaí ar fáil.

Julian de Spáinn is petitioning Foras na Gaeilge chair Regina Uí Chollatáin to present the motion to a meeting of the board tomorrow.

Tá Julian de Spáinn ag achainí ar chathaoirleach Fhoras na Gaeilge Regina Uí Chollatáin an tairiscint a chur os comhair cruinnithe a bheas ag an bhord amárach.

The worst outbreak in China in recent months.

An ráig is measa sa tSín le míonna anuas.

Hundreds of thousands of people in China are now under severe lockout, due to the worst Covid 19 outbreak in that country in recent months.

Tá na céadta míle duine sa tSín faoi dhianghlasáil anois, de bharr na ráige is measa Covid 19 sa tír sin le míonna anuas.

Authorities are testing millions of people following an outbreak at an airport in Nanjing city two weeks ago.

Tá na húdaráis ag déanamh tástálacha ar na milliúin duine i ndiaidh ráige in aerfort i gcathair Nanjing coicís ó shin.

The contact tracking of new cases showed that the disease had spread from that outbreak to five other provinces and as far as the Chinese capital, Beijing.

Léirigh an rianú teagmhálaithe a rinneadh ar chásanna nua gur scaip an galar amach ón ráig sin go dtí cúig chúige eile agus chomh fada le príomhchathair na Síne, Béising.

An estimated 206 new cases are associated with that outbreak, and geographically, this is the most widespread outbreak in months.

Tá baint, meastar, ag 206 cás nua leis an ráig sin, agus ó thaobh na tíreolaíochta de, tá an ráig seo ar an ráig is forleithne le míonna.

China 's Covid 19 policy is to keep the number of cases as close to zero as possible.

Is é polasaí na Síne ó thaobh Covid 19 de ná líon na gcásanna a choimeád chomh cóngarach do náid agus is féidir.

So, whenever there is an outbreak, intensive locking is widely applied and contact testing and tracking is done in bulk.

Mar sin, aon uair a bhíonn ráig, cuirtear dianghlasáil i bhfeidhm go forleathan agus déantar tástálacha agus rianú teagmhálaithe ar an mórchóir.

The Delta variant spreads more rapidly than severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Ebola and smallpox and as rapidly as prickly heat, according to a report by the National Centers for Disease Prevention in the United States.

Scaipeann an t-athraitheach Deilte níos gasta ná géarshiondróm trom riospráide (SARS), Ebola agus bolgach agus chomh gasta céanna le deilgneach, dar le tuarascáil de chuid an Lárionaid Náisiúnta um Ghalair a Chosc sna Stáit Aontaithe.

The recent rise in outbreaks worldwide, particularly in the Pacific and Asian regions, is due to the delta shift.

Is é an t-athraitheach deilte is cúis leis an ardú tobann atá tagtha ar ráigeanna ar fud an domhain le gairid, go háirithe i réigiúin an Aigéin Chiúin agus na hÁise.

Tokyo 2020: Gold medal won by Paul O'Donovan, Fintan McCarthy.

Tóiceo 2020: Bonn óir buaite ag Paul O'Donovan, Fintan McCarthy.

Irish rowers Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy have won an Olympic gold medal in the doubles paddling tournament in Tokyo.

Tá bonn óir Oilimpeach buaite ag rámhaithe na hÉireann Paul O'Donovan agus Fintan McCarthy sa chomórtas céaslaire beirte i dTóiceo.

Although the Cork duo were the popular choice before the race, they did not hold fast to the gold medal, and the German team stretched to the finish.

Cé gur rogha na coitiantachta a bhí sa dís Chorcaíoch roimh an rás ní raibh daingean acu leis an mbonn óir, agus bhí foireann na Gearmáine sínte leo go dtí an deireadh.

The Italians came in third.

Is iad na hIodálaigh a tháinig sa tríú háit.

It took the two men from Skibbereen six minutes, six seconds to finish the race.

Sé nóiméad, sé shoicind a thóg sé ar an mbeirt fhear as an Sciobairín an rás a chríochnú.

That's 0.86 seconds ahead of the Germans, a little over halfway.

Sin 0.86 soicind chun cinn ar na Gearmánaigh, beagán níos mó ná leathfhad.

This is the second medal the Irish rowers have won at the Olympic Games in Tokyo to date after the women's team won a bronze medal in the quarter-finals last night.

Seo an dara bonn atá buaite ag rámhaithe na hÉireann ag na Cluichí Oilimpeacha i dTóiceo go dtí seo tar éis d'fhoireann na mban bonn cré-umha a bhuachan i gcraobh na gceathrar arú aréir.

Speaking to RTÉ after the race, Paul O'Donovan stated that the duo followed the normal course of business during the race.

Ag labhairt dó le RTÉ i ndiaidh an ráis, thug Paul O'Donovan le fios gur chloígh an dís leis an modh oibre a bhíonn acu de ghnáth le linn an ráis.

He said they expected fierce competition from German and Italian rowers but always had confidence in themselves.

Dúirt sé go raibh siad ag súil le géariomaíocht ó iomróirí na Gearmáine agus na hIodáile ach go raibh muinín acu astu féin i gcónaí.

Irish President Michael D Higgins congratulated Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy.

Rinne Uachtarán na hÉireann Michael D Higgins comhghairdeachas le Paul O'Donovan agus Fintan McCarthy.

He said he was a great hero and that his achievements give courage to young athletes in Ireland.

Dúirt sé gur sárghaisce a bhí ann agus go dtugann a bhfuil baint amach acu, go dtugann sé misneach do lúthchleasaithe óga in Éirinn.

Naíscoil Ghaeilge moving because of hate campaign.

Naíscoil Ghaeilge ag bogadh mar gheall ar fheachtas fuatha.

The founders of an Irish-medium nursery school to open in a unionist area of east Belfast have had to find a new site because of an online hate campaign against the school.

B'éigean do bhunaitheoirí naíscoile Gaeilge a bhí le hoscailt i gceantar aontachtach in oirthear Bhéal Feirste suíomh nua a aimsiú mar gheall ar fheachtas fuatha ar líne in aghaidh na scoile.

Naíscoil na Seolta was to be established on the site of Branil's Primary School in the Castlerea area and was due to open in September.

Bhí Naíscoil na Seolta le bunú ar shuíomh Bhunscoil an Bhrainil i gceantar an Chaisleáin Riabhaigh agus bhí sí le hoscailt i mí Mheán Fómhair.

In a statement, the board of the nursery said that a minor campaign had been launched on social media threatening not to establish the school in that area.

I ráiteas, dúirt bord na naíscoile gur tionscnaíodh mionfheachtas ar na meáin shóisialta ag bagairt orthu gan an scoil a bhunú sa cheantar sin.

In light of the campaign, the board said, the decision was made to move to another location to protect the children.

I bhfianaise an fheachtais, a dúirt an bord, rinneadh an cinneadh bogadh go suíomh eile leis na leanaí a chosaint.

Sixteen children are enrolled in the school to date.

Sé leanbh déag atá cláraithe sa scoil go dtí seo.

The statement also stated that the site of Branil's Primary School was a temporary center and that it was never intended to find a permanent center for Naíscoil na Seolta elsewhere in east Belfast in the future.

Dúradh sa ráiteas chomh maith gur ionad sealadach a bhí i suíomh Bhunscoil an Bhrainil agus go raibh sé riamh i gceist ionad buan a aimsiú do Naíscoil na Seolta in áit éigin eile in oirthear Bhéal Feirste amach anseo.

A new site has already been found, it was said, and information will be provided in due course.

Tá suíomh úr aimsithe cheana féin, a dúradh, agus tabharfar eolas faoi in am trátha.

A statement from Branil's Primary School said that it was unfortunate that Naíscoil na Seolta had to move to another location.

I ráiteas ó Bhunscoil an Bhrainil, dúradh gur mór an trua go gcaithfidh Naíscoil na Seolta bogadh go suíomh eile.

It was said that the school welcomes everyone, no matter what their religion or language.

Dúradh go gcuireann lucht na scoile fáilte roimh gach duine, is cuma cén creideamh nó cén teanga atá acu.

The group responsible for the hate campaign has nothing to do with the school, it was said.

Níl aon bhaint ag an dream atá freagrach as an bhfeachtas fuatha leis an scoil, a dúradh.

"Children are not prevented from going to school unless they are vaccinated".

"Gan bac ar leanaí dul ar scoil mura bhfuil siad vacsaínithe".

Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has confirmed that children do not need to be vaccinated against Covid-19 before returning to school at the end of the summer.

Tá sé deimhnithe ag an Aire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly nach gcaithfidh leanaí a bheith vacsaínithe in aghaidh covid 19 sula dtéann siad ar ais ar scoil ag deireadh an tsamhraidh.

Speaking on RTÉ, he said bluntly that this is not and will not be planned.

Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, dúirt sé go neamhbhalbh nach bhfuil a leithéid á bheartú agus nach mbeidh sé á bheartú.

Yesterday, it was announced that the Covid-19 vaccine is to be made available to children between the ages of twelve and fifteen from next week.

Inné, fógraíodh go bhfuiltear leis an vacsaín covid 19 a chur ar fáil do leanaí idir dhá bhliain déag agus cúig bliana déag ón tseachtain seo chugainn.

Stephen Donnelly said today that the National Immunization Advisory Committee had given the matter a lot of thought before recommending that the vaccine be given to those of that age group.

Dúirt Stephen Donnelly inniu go raibh go leor machnaimh déanta ar an gceist ag an gCoiste Comhairleach Náisiúnta um Imdhíonadh sular mhol siad an vacsaín a thabhairt do lucht an aoisghrúpa sin.

Protecting children in that age group from a serious illness led to the decision, he claimed.

Páistí san aoisghrúpa sin a dhíonadh ó dhrochthinneas is cúis leis an gcinneadh, a mhaígh sé.

It is estimated that about 269,000 children will be vaccinated and will be given the vaccine in vaccination centers or GP centers, Stephen Donnelly said.

Áirítear thart ar 269,000 leanbh a bheith i gceist agus tabharfar an vacsaín dóibh in ionaid vacsaínithe nó in ionaid dochtúirí teaghlaigh, a dúirt Stephen Donnelly.

One of the mRNA vaccines - Pfizer or Moderna - is given and requires prior parental consent.

Ceann de na vacsaíní mRNA - Pfizer nó Moderna - a thabharfar dóibh agus ní mór cead tuismitheora a fháil roimh ré.

Stephen Donnelly pointed out that some of the details of the plan are still being worked on.

Thug Stephen Donnelly le fios go bhfuiltear ag obair i gcónaí ar chuid de shonraí an phlean.

Public health experts are urging everyone in this age group to get the vaccine as the Delta variant of the coronavirus is spreading rapidly among young people.

Tá saineolaithe sláinte poiblí ag achainí ar gach duine san aoisghrúpa seo an vacsaín a fháil ó tharla go bhfuil an t- athraitheach Deilte ar an gcoróinvíreas ag scaipeadh go tréan i measc daoine óga.

Health Service Executive leader Paul Reid said teenagers had been hard at work since the start of the pandemic and should be proud of how they coped with it.

Dúirt ceannasaí Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte Paul Reid go raibh crua curtha orthu féin ag déagóirí ó thús na paindéime agus gur cheart a bheith bródúil as an gcaoi a ndeachaigh siad i ngleic léi.

He indicated that the aim is to bring the vaccine to young people between the ages of sixteen and seventeen alive.

Thug sé le fios go bhfuil sé mar aidhm an vacsaín a thabhairt do dhaoine óga idir sé bliana déag agus seacht mbliana déag go beo.

1,345 new Covid-19 cases were recorded in the State yesterday of which 87% were people aged 45 years and under.

Taifeadadh 1,345 cás nua covid 19 sa Stát inné agus ba dhaoine 45 bliain agus faoina bhun sin 87 faoin gcéad acu.

Aréir, bhí 141 duine le covid 19 in ospidéil agus bhi 25 acu in aonaid dianchúraim.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan said the number of Covid-19 cases is high in many counties and the number of people admitted to hospital has risen significantly in two weeks.

Dúirt an Príomhoifigeach Leighis an Dr Tony Holohan go bhfuil an líon cásanna covid 19 ard in a lán contaetha agus go bhfuil ardú suntasach tagtha le coicís ar an líon daoine a cuireadh in ospidéil.

Hospital overcrowding is again a concern.

Plódú na n-ospidéal ina údar imní arís.

Secretary General of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Association Phil Ní Sheaghdha has said that the Health Service Executive is not tackling hospital overcrowding.

Tá sé ráite ag Ard-Rúnaí Chumann Altraí agus Ban Cabhrach na hÉireann Phil Ní Sheaghdha nach bhfuil Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte ag dul i ngleic mar is cóir le plódú na n-ospidéal.

Phil Ní Sheaghdha said that Covid-19 spreads rapidly in a large crowd and that there is currently a risk of hospitalization.

Dúirt Phil Ní Sheaghdha go scaipeann covid 19 go rábach san áit a bhfuil slua mór agus go bhfuil baol ag baint le dul chuig an ospidéal faoi láthair dá bharr sin.

According to figures released by the Association, there are 317 people waiting for hospital beds today.

De réir na bhfigiúirí atá eisithe ag an gCumann, tá 317 duine ag fanacht le leapa in ospidéil inniu.

There are 275 in emergency units and 42 in wards.

Tá 275 acu in aonaid éigeandála agus 42 i mbardaí.

The situation is worst in Limerick, with 51 people waiting for a bed.

Is i Luimneach is measa atá an scéal, mar a bhfuil 51 duine ag fanacht le leaba.

The Association is to write to Health Minister Stephen Donnelly about the situation.

Tá an Cumann chun scríobh chuig an Aire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly faoin scéal.

Speaking on RTÉ, Phil Ní Sheaghdha pointed out that more beds are needed in the health system as a whole.

Ag labhairt di ar RTÉ, thug Phil Ní Sheaghdha le fios go bhfuil níos mó leapacha ag teastáil sa chóras sláitne trí chéile.

She also recommended shifting some of the workload of public hospitals to private hospitals to alleviate the pressure on staff in public hospitals.

Mhol sí freisin cuid d'ualach oibre na n-ospidéal poiblí a aistriú go dtí ospidéil phríobháideacha leis an mbrú ar an bhfoireann sna hospidéil phoiblí a mhaolú.

She has been asking the Health Service Executive for this for three weeks, she said.

Tá sí á iarraidh seo ar Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte le trí seachtaine, a dúirt sí.

Phil Ní Sheaghdha also said that working conditions in hospitals are very harsh at the moment with nurses and other workers wearing masks all the time during the summer rush.

Dúirt Phil Ní Sheaghdha chomh maith go bhfuil coinníollacha oibre in ospidéil an-dian faoi láthair agus maisc á gcaitheamh an t-am ar fad ag altraí agus oibrithe eile le linn bhrothall an tsamhraidh.

She believes, she said, that ventilation in hospitals is bad and she wants an independent review of the situation.

Creideann sí, a dúirt sí, go bhfuil cúrsaí aerála in ospidéil go dona agus tá sí ag iarraidh go ndéanfaí athbhreithniú neamhspleách ar an scéal.

Permission to eat and drink inside from today.

Cead ithe agus ól taobh isitgh ón lá inniu.

From today, for the first time since December, customers will be allowed to eat and drink inside the country's restaurants and pubs.

Ón lá inniu, den chéad uair ó mhí na Nollag, beidh cead ag custaiméiri greim a ithe agus deoch a ól taobh isitgh i mbialanna agus i dtithe tábhairne na tíre.

People who are fully vaccinated, people who have already had Covid 19 in the last six months and their children will be allowed.

Ceadófar daoine atá iomlán vacsaínithe, daoine a raibh Covid 19 orthu cheana féin le sé mhí anuas agus a leanaí.

Some of the guidelines announced on Friday were criticized, including the need to track contacts at the doors.

Rinneadh cáineadh ar chuid de na treoirlínte a fógraíodh dé hAoine, ina measc, go mbeadh gá le rianú teagmhálacha ag na doirse.

Business owners and representatives of the sector said that this would be too much bureaucracy and would lead to door queues.

Dúirt úinéirí gnónna agus ionadaithe ar an earnáil go mbeadh an iomarca maorlathais ag baint leis sin agus go mbeadh scuainí ag na doirse dá bharr.

A late change to that guideline was agreed last night, however; now, the data of one person from each party will be taken, rather than the details of the whole party.

Aontaíodh athrú déanach ar an treoirlíne sin aréir, áfach; anois, glacfar sonraí duine amháin as gach páirtí, seachas sonraí an pháirtí ar fad.

It was also announced on Friday that businesses would be required to keep a record of where everyone was sitting.

Fógraíodh dé hAoine freisin go mbeadh ar ghnónna taifead a choimeád de na háiteanna a raibh gach duine ina shuí.

That guide has now been thrown into traps as well.

Tá an treoir sin anois caite i dtraipéisí freisin.

Adrian Cummins of the Restaurant Association stated that the association was not informed of these late amendments until midnight last night.

Thug Adrian Cummins ó Chumann na mBialann nár cuireadh an cumann ar an eolas faoi na leasuithe déanacha seo go dtí meánoíche aréir.

Irish Olympic team up for challenge.

Foireann Oilimpeach na hÉireann faoi réir don dúshlán.

Boxers Kellie Harrington and Brendan Irvine led the All-Ireland team at the opening ceremony of the Olympics at the Japanese national stadium in Tokyo today.

Is iad na dornálaithe Kellie Harrington agus Brendan Irvine a bhí ag ceann fhoireann na hÉireann ag searmanas oscailte na gCluichí Oilimpeacha i staid náisiúnta na Seapáine i dTóiceo inniu.

Irish athletes are set to take part in nineteen of the 32 competitions at this year's Olympics.

Tá lúthchleasaithe na hÉireann le páirt a ghlacadh i naoi gcinn déag den 32 comórtas ag na Cluichí Oilimpeacha i mbliana.

The sky above the situation was lit with fireworks as the Games officially kicked off, and there was a moment of silence in honor of those around the world who have been lost to Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.

Lasadh an spéir os cionn na staide le tinte ealaíne agus tús oifigiúil á chur leis na Cluichí, agus bhí nóiméad tosta ann in ómós na ndaoine ar fud an domhain a cailleadh le covid 19 ó thús na paindéime.

The pandemic forced the Games to be postponed for a year and only a thousand people were in the situation due to rules about social separation.

B'éigean na Cluichí a chur ar athló ar feadh bliana de bharr na paindéime agus ní raibh ach míle duine sa staid mar gheall ar rialacha faoi scaradh sóisialta.

Kellie Harrington said she has no worries about Covid-19 and is focusing on what she herself has to achieve in the boxing ring.

Dúirt Kellie Harrington nach bhfuil aon imní uirthi faoi covid 19 agus go bhfuil sí ag díriú ar a bhfuil le baint amach aici féin sa chró dornálaíochta.

The Olympic Games had already taken place in Tokyo, in 1964.

Bhí na Cluichí Oilimpeacha ar siúl i dTóiceo cheana, i 1964.
