Relief but little to celebrate - Farmers Association.

Faoiseamh ach beag ábhar ceiliúrtha - Cumann na bhFeirmeoirí.

The President of the Farmers' Association says it is reassuring that a deal has been struck between the European Union and Britain but that the agri-food industry in Ireland will continue to face significant challenges.

Deir Uachtarán Chumann na bhFeirmeoirí gur údar faoisimh é go bhfuil margadh déanta idir an tAontas Eorpach agus an Bhreatain ach go mbeidh dúshláin mhóra fós roimh thionscal an agra-bhia in Éirinn.

Tim Cullinan praised the patience and perseverance of Michel Barnier, the European Union's chief mediator.

Thug Tim Cullinan moladh dfhoighne agus do bhuanseasmhacht Michel Barnier, príomhidirghabhalaí an Aontais Eorpaigh.

"We are concerned about barrier - free trade.

"Tá imní orainn faoi thrádáil gan bacanna.

What we see in Dover this week is not a good omen. "

Ní dea-thuar an méid atá le feiceáil in Dover an tseachtain seo."

said Cullinan.

a dúirt Cullinan.

The President of the Farmers' Association has said that the Government and the European Union must prepare a € 400 million support fund for Irish farmers in the new year to tackle market unrest.

Dúirt Uachtarán Chumann na bhFeirmeoirí nach mór don Rialtas agus don Aontas Eorpach ciste tacaíochta €400 milliún a bheith ullmhaithe acu dfheirmeoirí na hÉireann sa bhliain nua chun dul i ngleic le corraíl sa mhargadh.

"The danger is that the market is not strong enough to ensure compliance with single market rules."

"Is í an chontúirt atá ann nach bhfuil an margadh láidir go leor lena chinntiú go gcloífear le rialacha an mhargaidh aonair."

said Cullinan.

a dúirt Cullinan.

Cullinan says the Farmers Association will be examining the details of the market to see its impact on exports.

Deir Cullinan go mbeidh mionshonraí an mhargaidh á scrúdú ag Cumann na bhFeirmeoirí féachaint a thionchar ar easpórtálacha a mheas.

Is í an Ghaeilge an 16ú is mó ar domhain a bhfuil Béarlóirí ag cur spéise inti.

Teacher Noah Higgs said that the diaspora is very interested in the language, not just those in Ireland.

Dúirt an múinteoir Noah Higgs go bhfuil an-spéis curtha ag an diaspóra sa teanga, ní amháin iad siúd atá in Éirinn.

He said that the pandemic has given people who intended to learn Irish the opportunity to learn the language again.

The Red Man.

An Fear Dearg.

Isn't it strange how habits are established and spread?

Nach ait mar a bhunaítear agus mar a scaiptear nósanna?

It is now accepted that it was the Irish who brought the festival of November to the United States and that it was made into Halloween with its pumpkins and ghosts and colored skeletons.

Tá glacadh leis anois gurb iad Gaeil Éireann a thug féile na Samhna chun na Stát Aontaithe agus gur déanadh Halloween as lena puimcíní agus lena taibhsí agus lena cnámharlaigh dhaite.

Similarly it was the Dutch on their flight who brought Sinterklass across the sea to New York and it has expanded throughout the world since then, with the help of Coca Cola and the power of money.

Ar an gcuma chéanna b’iad na Dúitsigh ar a dteitheadh dóibh a thug Sinterklass trasna na farraige go dtí Nua Eabhrac agus tá leathnaithe ar fud an tsaoil ó shin, le cabhair ó Choca Cola agus cumhacht an airgid.

It was not that there were not many traditions around the world associated with some old crocodiles distributing goodies and gifts at the turn of the year, but he was not a fat man fed in his Cork attire wandering around an air chariot powered by reindeer speaking ho- it was a hose.

Ní hé nach raibh traidisiúin éagsúla ar fud críocha fairsinge an domhain a bhain le seanchrúnca éigin a dháil maitheas agus bronntanais tráth chasadh na bliana, ach níorbh aon fhear ramhar beathaithe é ina fheisteas Chorcaí ag gabháil timpeall ar charbad aeir faoi chumhacht réinfhianna ag labhairt hó-hó-hóis a bhí ann.

In some countries it was about someone from a horror comic, and deliberately.

I dtíortha áirithe ba gheall le duine as greannán uafáis é, agus d’aon ghnó.

That terrifying song that warns young children that he is watching them be 'naughty or nice' was a real threat. In Hungary there was a danger that the dumb child would get a wooden spoon, and who knows what harm could be done to the same chattels afterwards.

Ba mhó de bhagairt a bhí ann a réalaigh an t-amhrán sceimhliúil sin a thugann foláireamh do pháistí beaga go bhfuil sé ag faire ar iad a bheith ‘naughty or nice.’ San Ungáir ba bhaol gurb é spúnóg adhmaid a gheobhadh an leanbh dalba, agus cá bhfios cén t-aimhleas ab fhéidir a bhaint as an airnéis chéanna ina dhiaidh sin.

A lump of coal was threatened here, but now kids would hardly know what would be there if they found it.

Bhagraítí cnap guail anseo, ach ar éigean go n-aithneodh páistí anois cad a bheadh ansin dá bhfaigheadh siad é.

Something polished with a toy in the middle, probably.

Rud éigin snasmhar a bhfuil bréagán istigh ina lár, is dócha.

But that has changed beyond recognition now.

Ach tá sin athraithe thar aitheantas anois.

Joulupukki of Finland was a big ugly old man, and although he still bears that name he has become very kind in recent years, especially because he is worth a lot of money to the country's economy.

Bodach mór gránna ba ea Joulupukki na Fionlainne, agus cé go bhfuil an t-ainm sin fós air tá sé éirithe an-chineálta le blianta beaga anuas, go háirithe toisc gur fiú airgead mór é d’eacnamaíocht na tíre.

Greenland tried to claim Shanta for themselves, but for some reason I don’t imagine thousands of planes overflowing with magical girls and boys landing in Nuuk or Kranni, let alone Uummannaqq itself.

Dhein an Ghraonlainn iarracht ar Shanta a éileamh dóibh féin, ach ar chúis éigin ní shamhlaím na mílte eitleán ag cur thar maoil le cailíní agus le buachaillí draíochtshúileacha ag tuirlingt in Nuuk nó Kranni, gan trácht ar Uummannaqq féin.

And for a whole other reason, the imagination fails to think of the local ox flying through the sky on Christmas night.

An Officer and a Gentleman is a 1982 American romantic drama film starring Richard Gere, Debra Winger, and Louis Gossett Jr., who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the film, making him the first African American male to do so.

Scannán drámaíochta rómánsúil Meiriceánach 1982 é An Officer and a Gentleman le Richard Gere, Debra Winger, agus Louis Gossett Jr., a bhuaigh Gradam an Acadaimh don Aisteoir is Fearr ag Tacú leis an scannán, rud a fhágann gurb é an chéad fhear Meiriceánach Afracach é sin a dhéanamh.

The film begins with recent college graduate Zack Mayo preparing to report for Aviation Officer Candidate School (AOCS).

Tosaíonn an scannán le céimí coláiste Zack Mayo le déanaí ag ullmhú chun tuairisciú do Scoil Iarrthóra Oifigeach Eitlíochta (AOCS).

He moved to the Philippines as a child to live with his father Byron, a Navy Senior Chief Boatswains Mate, after his mothers suicide.

Bhog sé go dtí na hOileáin Fhilipíneacha agus é ina pháiste chun cónaí lena athair Byron, Mate Chief Boatswain Chief Navy, tar éis féinmharú a mháthar.

Initially, his father was reluctant to take him in; Byron was at sea most of the time, and wasnt good at being a father even while in port.

Ar dtús, bhí drogall ar a athair é a thógáil isteach; Bhí Byron ar muir an chuid is mó den am, agus ní raibh sé go maith mar athair fiú agus é sa phort.

Zack had to beg not to be sent back, before Byron let him stay.

B’éigean do Zack impigh gan é a sheoladh ar ais, sular lig Byron dó fanacht.

Having grown up as a Navy brat at Subic Bay, Zack is now determined, despite his fathers disapproval, to become a Navy pilot; he jokes about how one day Byron will have to salute him.

Tar éis fás aníos mar bhratach Navy ag Subic Bay, tá Zack diongbháilte anois, in ainneoin neamhshuim a athar, a bheith ina phíolóta Cabhlach; déanann sé magadh faoin gcaoi a gcaithfidh Byron lá amháin a thabhairt slán dó.

Upon arrival at AOCS, Zack and his fellow OCS candidates are shocked by the draconian treatment they receive from their head drill instructor, Marine Gunnery Sergeant Emil Foley.

Nuair a shroicheann siad AOCS, tá iontas ar Zack agus a chomhiarrthóirí OCS leis an gcóireáil draganta a fhaigheann siad óna dteagascóir druileála ceann, Sáirsint Marine Gunnery Emil Foley.

Foley makes it clear that AOCS is set up to wash out as many cadets as possible, so that only the most talented will be commissioned as ensigns in the U.S.

Cuireann Foley in iúl go soiléir go gcuirtear AOCS ar bun chun an oiread daltaí agus is féidir a ní, ionas nach ndéanfar ach na daoine is cumasaí a choimisiúnú mar shínithe sna SA

Navys $1 million flight training program.

Clár oiliúna eitilte $ 1 milliún Navy.

Foley also warns the male candidates about the "Puget Sound Debs" (local girls who angle for marriage to a Naval Aviator in order to escape their dull lives and who will not stop at feigning pregnancy, or at actually getting pregnant, to "trap" a potential husband).

Tugann Foley foláireamh freisin do na hiarrthóirí fireanna faoi na “Puget Sound Debs” (cailíní áitiúla a dhéanann uillinn le pósadh le Aviator Cabhlaigh d’fhonn éalú óna saol dull agus nach stopfaidh ag iompar clainne, nó ag iompar clainne i ndáiríre, “gaiste” a dhéanamh fear céile ionchasach).

Zack and fellow cadet Sid Worley meet two local factory workers, Paula Pokrifki and Lynette Pomeroy, at a Navy Ball.

Buaileann Zack agus a chomh-dhalta Sid Worley le beirt oibrithe monarchan áitiúla, Paula Pokrifki agus Lynette Pomeroy, ag Navy Ball.

Zack begins a relationship with Paula, and Sid with Lynette.

Tosaíonn Zack caidreamh le Paula, agus Sid le Lynette.

Foley runs the program mercilessly.

582 new cases; Another 6 died - Covid 19.

582 cás nua; 6 eile básaithe - Covid 19.

There were 582 new cases of Covid 19 in the state today and another six died with the virus.

Bhí 582 cás nua de Covid 19 sa stát inniu agus bhásaigh seisiúr eile leis an víreas.

In total, 2,149 people have been lost here with Covid 19 and there are 78,254 cases on record so far.

In iomlán, tá 2,149 duine caillte anseo le Covid 19 agus tá 78,254 cás ar an taifead go dtí seo.

There are currently 198 people in hospital with the virus, 34 of whom are in the intensive care unit.

Tá 198 duine san ospidéal leis an víreas faoi láthair, 34 acu atá san aonad dianchúraim.

In the last twenty - four hours, an additional thirteen people have been admitted to hospital with Covid 19.

Le ceithre huaire is fiche anuas, chuaigh trí dhuine dhéag sa bhreis isteach san ospidéal le Covid 19.

Chief Medical Officer, Dr Tony Holohan, said: "Over the past week, we have expressed concern about the rising number of cases.

Dúirt an Príomhoifigeach Leighis, an Dochtúir Tony Holohan: "Le seachtain anuas, tá imní léirithe againn faoin ardú atá ag teacht ar líon na gcásanna.

Tonight, the figures show that things are deteriorating even faster than expected, even.

Anocht, léiríonn na figiúirí go bhfuil cúrsaí ag titim chun donais níos sciobtha ná mar a bhí súil leis, fiú.

“As we approach Christmas, the country cannot handle this level of infection,” he said.

"Agus muid ag druidim i dtreo na Nollag, ní féidir leis an tír an leibhéal ionfhabhtaithe seo a láimhseáil", a dúirt sé.

"The vaccine is certainly encouraging.

" Is údar dóchais é an vacsaín, cinnte.

But we need to keep alive those vulnerable groups who have been identified for the first few doses until they find it. "

Ach caithfimid na grúpaí leochailleacha sin atá luaite leis na céad dáileoga a choinneáil ina mbeatha go dtí go bhfaighidh siad é."

Dr Holohan said this morning that the National Public Health Emergency Team had written a letter to the government informing them that immediate action was needed to control the spread of the virus.

Dúirt an Dochtúir Holohan ar maidin go raibh litir scríofa ag an bhFoireann Éigeandála Náisiúnta Sláinte Poiblí chuig an rialtas le cur in iúl dóibh gur gá dul i mbun gnímh láithreach le smacht a fháil ar scaipeadh an víris.

The government has said that stricter restrictions may be reintroduced by the end of the year.

Tá sé ráite ag an rialtas go mbfheidir go dtabharfar isteach srianta níos géire arís faoi dheireadh na bliana.

Rocky 3 is a 1982 American sports drama film written, directed by, and starring Sylvester Stallone.

Scannán drámaíochta spóirt Meiriceánach 1982 é Rocky 3 a scríobhadh, a stiúraigh agus a léirigh Sylvester Stallone.

It is the third installment in the Rocky film series, and the second in the franchise to be directed by Stallone.

Is é an tríú tráthchuid é sa tsraith scannán Rocky, agus an dara ceann sa saincheadúnas a bheidh faoi stiúir Stallone.

Three years after winning the world heavyweight championship against Apollo Creed, Rocky Balboa has had a string of ten successful title defenses.

Trí bliana tar éis dó craobh trom-mheáchain an domhain a bhuachan i gcoinne Apollo Creed, tá sraith de dheich gcosaint teidil rathúla ag Rocky Balboa.

His fame, wealth, endorsements, and celebrity profile have increased, leading him to participate in an exhibition charity event against the world wrestling champion, Thunderlips.

Tá méadú tagtha ar a cháil, a shaibhreas, a fhormhuinithe, agus a phróifíl cáiliúla, rud a thug air páirt a ghlacadh in imeacht carthanais taispeántais i gcoinne an chraobh dhomhanda wrestling, Thunderlips.

Rockys manager, Mickey, worriedly eyes a young and powerful contender rapidly rising through the ranks named James "Clubber" Lang.

Is cúis imní do bhainisteoir Rocky, Mickey, iomaitheoir óg cumhachtach a ardú go tapa trí na céimeanna darb ainm James "Clubber" Lang.

While unveiling a statue of himself at the stairway by the Philadelphia Museum of Art just prior to announcing his retirement, Rocky is publicly challenged by Lang, now the number-one contender.

Agus é ag nochtadh dealbh de féin ag an staighre ag Músaem Ealaíne Philadelphia díreach sular fhógair sé go raibh sé ar scor, tugann Lang dúshlán poiblí do Rocky, an t-iomaitheoir is mó anois.

Lang accuses Rocky of intentionally accepting challenges from lesser opponents, and goads Rocky into accepting his challenge for a championship fight.

Cuireann Lang i leith Rocky gur ghlac sé d’aon ghnó le dúshláin ó lucht freasúra níos lú, agus tugann sé aghaidh ar Rocky glacadh lena dhúshlán i gcoinne troid craobhchomórtais.

Mickey initially wants no part of it.

Níl Mickey ag iarraidh aon chuid de i dtosach.

Pressed by Rocky, Mickey confesses that he handpicked the opponents for Rockys title defenses in order to spare him from another beating of the kind that Creed gave him in their rematch.

Faoi bhrú ag Rocky, admhaíonn Mickey gur phioc sé na hagóideoirí as cosaintí teidil Rocky d’fhonn é a spáráil ó bhualadh eile den chineál a thug Creed dó ina athchur.

He explains that Lang is young and powerful, and most of all hes "hungry", and that Rocky wont last three rounds because he hasn’t been hungry ever since he won the title and became "civilized".

Míníonn sé go bhfuil Lang óg agus cumhachtach, agus go mór mór tá “ocras” air, agus nach mairfidh Rocky trí bhabhta mar nach raibh ocras air riamh ó bhuaigh sé an teideal agus go raibh sé “sibhialta”.

Rocky, now knowing that he never really defended his title against the best opponents, convinces Mickey to work with him for one last fight.

Cuireann Rocky, agus a fhios aige anois nár chosain sé a theideal i gcoinne na bhfreasúra is fearr riamh, ina luí ar Mickey oibriú leis le haghaidh troid dheireanaigh amháin.

Despite his promise to Mickey to live in the gym, Rocky trains in a Las Vegas-style environment that is filled with distractions, and is clearly not taking his training seriously.

In ainneoin a ghealltanais do Mickey ‘maireachtáil sa seomra aclaíochta’, traenálann Rocky i dtimpeallacht i stíl Las Vegas atá líonta le seachráin, agus is léir nach bhfuil sé ag glacadh dáiríre lena oiliúint.

Significant increase in demand for public transport services.

Méadú mór ar éileamh ar sheirbhísí iompair phoiblí.

Demand for train seats has risen sharply this weekend, says Iarnród Éireann and has advised passengers to book their seats in advance.

Tá méadú mór tagtha ar an éileamh ar shuíocháin traenach an deireadh seachtaine seo, a deir Iarnród Éireann agus tá comhairle curtha acu ar phaisinéirí a gcuid suíochán a chur in áirithe roimh ré.

Covid 19 travel restrictions were relaxed today.

Maolaíodh ar shrianta taistil Covid 19 inniu.

People are traveling from one county to another for the weekend.

Tá daoine ag taistil ó chontae amháin go contae eile don deireadh seachtaine.

And for Christmas too.

Agus don Nollaig freisin.

The use of all public transport services has grown significantly and it is hoped that this demand will continue for at least a week.

Tá borradh mór tagtha ar úsáid na seirbhísí iompair phoiblí ar fad agus tá súil go leanfar den éileamh sin as seo go ceann seachtaine ar a laghad.

A spokesman for Iarnród Éireann, Barry Kenny, said today that despite the high demand, services are only able to carry 50% of their normal passengers.

Dúirt urlabhraí ar son Iarnród Éireann, Barry Kenny, inniu gur cé go bhfuil an t-éileamh mór sin ann, nach bhfuil seirbhísí abálta ach 50 faoin gcéad de na paisinéirí a bhíonn acu de ghnáth a iompar.

There is therefore an urgent need, he said, to plan trips in advance.

Tá géarghá mar sin, a dúirt sé, le turais a phleanáil roimhe ré.

It is mandatory to wear face cover on public transport services.

Tá sé éigeantach clúdach aghaidhe a chaitheamh ar sheirbhísí iompair phoiblí.

Social separation is also in place on board.

Tá scaradh sóisialta i bhfeidhm freisin ar bord.

Expect a 86% drop in passengers through Shannon Airport.

Súil le titim 86 faoin gcéad ar phaisinéirí trí Aerfort na Sionainne.

Passenger numbers passing through Shannon Airport are expected to fall by 86% over the Christmas period this year, compared to the same period last year.

Tá súil go dtiocfaidh titim 86 faoin gcéad ar líon na bpaisinéirí a thiocfaidh trí Aerfort na Sionainne le linn thréimhse na Nollag i mbliana, i gcomparáid leis an tréimhse chéanna anuraidh.

A spokesman from the airport said 10,000 passengers are expected through the airport this December, compared to 70,000 passengers last December.

Dúirt urlabharaí ón aerfort go bhfuil súil le 10,000 paisinéir tríd an aerfort an Nollaig seo, i gcomparáid le 70,000 paisinéir an Nollaig seo caite.

Only three Ryanair services will operate from Shannon Airport over the Christmas period, flights to Stansted, Manchester and Wroclaw.

Ní bheidh ach trí sheirbhís de chuid Ryanair ag feidhmiú ó Aerfort na Sionainne thar thréimhse na Nollag, eitiltí go Stansted, Manchain agus Wroclaw.

"It has been a challenging year for the aviation industry and the tourism sector in general," the spokesman said.

"Bliain dhúshlánach a bhí ann don tionscal eitlíochta agus don earnáil turasóireachta i gcoitinne", a dúirt an t- urlabhraí.

"Across the country - and around the world - airports are suffering from the pandemic.

"Ar fud na tíre - agus ar fud an domhain - tá aerfoirt thíos leis an bpaindéim.

"1.6 million people traveled through Shannon Airport between January and November, 2019.

"1.6 milliún duine a thaistil trí Aerfort na Sionainne idir mí Eanáir agus mí na Samhna, 2019.

Only 347,000 people came through the airport during the same period this year. "

Ach 347,000 a tháinig tríd an aerfort le linn na tréimhse céanna i mbliana."
