Another burial option being developed in Gort.

Rogha eile adhlactha á forbairt i nGort Insé Ghuaire.

There are many areas throughout the country where there is a lack of space in the cemeteries and a lack of sites that would be suitable for the development of a new cemetery.

Is iomaí ceantar ar fud na tíre a bhfuil easpa spáis sna reiligí agus easpa suíomhanna ann a bheadh feiliúnach le reilig nua a fhorbairt.

The Gort Inche Guaire cemetery committee has considered building a dovecote or columbarium on the site of the cemetery, at St. Colman 's church, to address this issue as there is no space left in the adjoining churchyard.

Tá coiste reilige Ghort Insé Ghuaire tar éis smaoineamh ar cholmlann nó columbarium a thógáil ar shuíomh na reilige, ag séipéal Naomh Colmán, le dul i ngleic leis an bhfadhb seo mar níl aon spás fágtha sa reilig atá le taobh an tseipéil.

A special wall is to be erected in the cemetery, in the event of public demand, which would accommodate 60 sieves and the committee has already made good progress with the proposal.

Tá balla speisialta le tógáil sa reilig, sa gcás go mbeidh éileamh i measc an phobail, ina mbeadh spás do 60 síothal agus tá dul chun cinn maith déanta ag an gcoiste leis an togra cheana féin.

Canon Tommy Marrinan says that many more people are now being cremated and that this would be another way to bury and keep someone in the area.

Deir an canóin Tommy Marrinan go bhfuil i bhfad níos mó daoine á gcréamadh anois agus gur bealach eile a bheadh anseo duine a adhlacadh agus a choinneáil sa gceantar.

Many people use the Shannon crematorium service and such a proposal makes sense in the area he says.

Baineann go leor daoine úsáid as seirbhís créamatóiriam na Sionainne agus déanann a leithéad de thogra ciall sa gceantar a deir sé.

Pigeons are not often seen in this country but are extremely widespread in other countries such as America and Britain, but with body cremations now occurring more frequently the committee thinks that such a wall will help with the lack of it is a grave site and will give people an alternative, so that they can bury a loved one closer to home.

Ní minic a fheictear colmlanna sa tír seo ach tá sé thar a bheith fairsing i dtíortha eile ar nós Mheiriceá agus na Breataine, ach de bharr go bhfuil créamadh á dhéanamh ar choirp níos minice anois ceapann an coiste go gcabhróidh a leithéad de bhalla leis an easpa láithreacha uaighe atá ann agus go dtabharfaidh sé rogha eile do dhaoine, le go mbeidh siad in ann duine muinteartha leo a adhlacadh níos gaire don bhaile.

Local man Paddy Griallais says that the committee has made great progress and planning permission has already been obtained for the project and that the project will benefit the growing population of the area year on year.

Deir an fear áitiúil Paddy Griallais go bhfuil an-dul chun cinn déanta ag an gcoiste agus cead pleanála faighte don togra cheana agus go n-imeoidh an togra chun tairbhe daonra na háite atá ag méadú bliain i ndiaidh bliana.

It is anticipated that 15 units will be sold by the middle of next month before a decision is made to proceed with the project.

Táthar ag siúl go mbeidh 15 aonad díolta roimh lár na míosa seo chugainn sula ndéanfar cinneadh leanacht ar aghaidh leis an togra.

If there is public demand the dovecote will be built in the cemetery walls in September.

Má tá éileamh ón bpobal beidh an colmlann tógtha i mballaí na reilige i mí Mheán Fómhair.

Vitamin D advocated by politicians as a protection against Covid-19.

Vitimín D á mholadh ag polaiteoirí mar chosaint ar covid 19.

A group of politicians have said that people in this country should take the nutritional content of Vitamin D to protect themselves against Covid-19.

Tá sé ráite ag grúpa polaiteoirí gur chóir do dhaoine sa tír seo an t-ábhar cothaitheach Vitimín D a ghlacadh chun iad féin a chosaint ar covid 19.

This is recommended in a report published today by the Oireachtas Health Committee.

Moltar é seo i dtuarascáil atá foilsithe inniu ag Coiste Sláinte an Oireachtais.

Politicians from all parties say that international evidence shows that Vitamin D contains a protective substance because it strengthens the human immune system.

Deir na polaiteoirí ó gach aon pháirtí go léiríonn an fhianaise idirnáisiúnta go bhfuil damhna cosanta i Vitimín D mar go dtreisíonn sé córas imdhíonachta an duine.

The report recommends that Vitamin D be given to people at Covid-19 test centers in future, and that it be offered to people in nursing homes and health workers as well.

Moltar sa tuarascáil go dtabharfaí Vitimín D do dhaoine ag ionaid tástála covid 19 feasta, agus go dtairgeofaí é do dhaoine in ionaid altranais agus d'oibrithe sláinte freisin.

Although Vitamin D is not said to cure Covid-19 it can alleviate some of the symptoms of the disease.

Deirtear cé nach leigheas é Vitimín D ar covid 19 gur féidir leis cuid de shiomptóim an ghalair a mhaolú.

The report is based on the views of experts from Trinity College, the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, St. James's Hospital and Connolly Hospital as well as information from Finland, France and Spain.

Tá an tuarascáil bunaithe ar thuairimí saineolaithe ó Choláiste na Tríonóide, Choláiste Ríoga na Máinlia in Éirinn, Ospidéal San Séamas agus Ospidéal Uí Chonghaile chomh maith le faisnéis ón bhFionlainn, ón bhFrainc agus ón Spáinn.

The Department of Health and the National Public Health Emergency Team have previously indicated that there is insufficient evidence to prove that Vitamin D can protect people from Covid-19.

Tá sé tugtha le fios roimhe seo ag an Roinn Sláinte agus ag an bhFoireann Náisiúnta Éigeandála Sláinte Poiblí nach bhfuil dóthain fianaise ann le cruthú gur féidir le Vitimín D daoine a chosaint ar covid 19.

Most low paid people have lost their jobs since the beginning of the pandemic.

Daoine ar phá íseal is mó a chaill a bpoist ó thús na paindéime.

Low-paid people have lost the most jobs since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a new report published by the Economic and Social Research Institute on employment in Europe.

Daoine ar phá íseal is mó a chaill a bpoist ó thús na paindéime covid 19, de réir tuarascála nua atá foilsithe ag an Institiúid Taighde Eacnamaíochta agus Sóisialta faoi chúrsaí fostaíochta san Eoraip.

It is generally stated that these are young people with a low level of education who are not citizens of the country in which they live.

Go hiondúil, a deirtear, is daoine óga iad seo a bhfuil leibhéal íseal oideachais orthu agus nach saoránaigh iad sa tír ina bhfuil siad ina gcónaí.

9.6% of workers in Ireland receive the national minimum wage - € 10.20 per hour - and 43% are employed in the accommodation, food, wholesale or retail sectors.

9.6 faoin gcéad d'oibrithe in Éirinn atá ag fáil an íosphá náisiúnta - €10.20 san uair - agus tá 43 faoin gcéad díobh fostaithe sna hearnálacha cóiríochta, bia, mórdhíola nó miondíola.

That's a higher percentage than any other country investigated in the report.

Sin céatadán níos airde ná aon tír eile a fiosraíodh sa tuarascáil.

These are also the sectors most affected by the pandemic.

Sin iad na hearnálacha is mó a buaileadh de bharr na paindéime freisin.

The research investigated employment in 27 European countries and showed that this country has nominally the second highest minimum wage.

Cúrsaí fostaíochta i 27 tír san Eoraip a fiosraíodh don taighde agus léirítear ann gur sa tír seo atá an dara híosphá is airde go hainmniúil.

However, the value is not the same when the cost of living is taken into account and in practice Ireland ranks seventh.

Níl an luach céanna ann, áfach, nuair a chuirtear costas maireachtála san áireamh agus go praiticiúil is sa seachtú háit atá Éire.

Unlike other countries, inequality in Ireland is gender inequitable.

Murab ionann agus tíortha eile, tá comhionannas insce san éagothroime in Éirinn.

Men and women without discrimination are suffering because of the crisis, it is said.

Fir agus mná gan aon idirdhealú atá ag fulaingt de bharr na géarchéime, a deirtear.

Teachers supporting a resolution on industrial action.

Múinteoirí ag tacú le rún faoi ghníomhaíocht thionsclaíoch.

Members of the three teachers' unions voted in favor of emergency resolutions to demand that teachers get the Covid-19 vaccine before others on the basis that they mix with the public.

Vótáil baill de na trí cheardchumann múinteoirí i bhfabhar rúin éigeandála maidir lena n-éileamh go bhfaigheadh múinteoirí an vacsaín in aghaidh covid 19 roimh dhreamanna eile ar an mbonn go mbíonn siad ag meascadh leis an bpobal.

Members of the Irish National Teachers 'Association, the Association of Secondary Teachers and the Irish Teachers' Union voted in favor of the common resolution at their annual online conferences.

Baill de Chumann Múinteoirí Éireann, Chumann na Meánmhúinteoirí agus Aontas Múinteoirí Éireann a vótáil i bhfabhar an rúin choitinn ag a gcomhdhálacha bliantúla atá á reáchtáil ar líne.

The resolution states that teachers could resort to industrial action - including a strike - if the Government does not reverse its decision to vaccinate people by age group rather than by occupation.

Deirtear sa rún go bhféadfadh múinteoirí dul i muinín gníomhaíochta tionsclaíche - stailc san áireamh - mura rachaidh an Rialtas siar ar a gcinneadh daoine a vacsaíniú de réir aoisghrúpa seachas de réir gairme.

Previously, teachers were among those prioritized in the vaccination schedule.

Roimhe seo, bhí muinteoirí i measc na ndreamanna ar tugadh tosaíocht dóibh sa sceideal vacsaínithe.

The unions say the Government has changed the vaccination schedule without consulting workers' representatives.

Deir na ceardchuumainn gur athraigh an Rialtas an sceideal vacsaínithe gan dul i gcomhairle le hionadaithe oibrithe.

They say teachers need to be prioritized because they “have daily contact with a large number of people from a large number of families” and cannot stay away from others and do their job properly at the same time.

Deir siad go gcaithfear tosaíocht a thabhairt do mhúinteoirí mar go mbíonn "teagmháil acu gach aon lá le lear mór daoine ó lear mór teaghlach" agus nach féidir leo fanacht amach ó dhaoine eile agus a gcuid oibre a dhéanamh i gceart ag an am céanna.

Speaking on RTÉ, Sinn Féin education spokesman Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire said he believed teachers should be given priority but urged them not to go on strike.

Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, dúirt urlabhraí oideachais Shinn Féin Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire go gcreideann sé gur chóir tosaíocht a thabhairt do mhúinteoirí ach d'iarr sé orthu gan dul ar stailc.

He asked Education Minister Norma Foley to consult with the teachers about the situation.

D'iarr sé ar an Aire Oideachais Norma Foley dul i gcomhairle leis na múinteoirí faoin scéal.

Yesterday, Minister Foley announced that the decision to amend the vaccination schedule was made in line with the scientific evidence provided to the Government.

Inné, thug an tAire Foley le fios go ndearnadh an cinneadh an sceideal vacsaínithe a leasú de réir na finnaise eolaíochta a cuireadh ar fáil don Rialtas.
