The largest plane in the world landed at Shannon Airport.

An t-eitleán is mó ar domhan tuirlingte ag Aerfort na Sionainne.

The world's largest aircraft - the Antonov AN-225 - landed at Shannon Airport in Clare in the afternoon carrying a cargo of personal protective equipment.

Thuirling an t-eitleán is mó ar domhan - an tAntonov AN-225 - in Aerfort na Sionainne i gCo an Chláir tráthnóna agus lastas de threalamh cosanta pearsanta ar bord uirthi.

The equipment is to be distributed by the Health Service Executive to health workers battling coronary virus.

Tá an trealamh le dáileadh ag Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte ar oibrithe sláinte atá ag dul i ngleic leis an gcoróinvíreas.

It consists of 900,000 pieces of personal protective clothing and other medical equipment.

900,000 píosa d'éadach cosanta pearsanta agus trealamh leighis eile atá i gceist.

Antonov began her tour in China several days ago and stood in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Germany before addressing this country.

Chuir an tAntonov tús lena turas sa tSín roinnt laethanta ó shin agus sheas sí sa Chasacstáin, san Asarbaiseáin agus sa Ghearmáin sular thug sí aghaidh ar an tír seo.

The wings of the AN-225 are wider than Croke Park and are approximately six storeys high.

Tá sciatháin an AN-225 níos leithne ná Páirc an Chrócaigh agus tá sí tuairim is sé stór ar airde.

The six-engine, 640 tonne Soviet-era plane was built in Ukraine and was originally used by Russian missiles into space in the late eighties.

Tógadh an t-eitleán sé inneall, 640 tonna aimsir na Sóivéadach san Úcráin agus ba le diúracáin Rúiseacha a chur isteach sa spás a baineadh leas aisti i dtosach ag deireadh na n-ochtóidí.

Shannon Airport has the longest runway in the country and is the only airport in the country to which the Antonov can land.

Tá an rúidbhealach is faide sa tír in Aerfort na Sionainne agus is é an t-aon aerfort sa tír é ar féidir leis an Antonov tuirlingt ann.

"Short notice" given to authorities in the North has been criticized.

"Fógra gearr" a tugadh do na húdaráis sa Tuaisceart cáinte.

Northern Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill said the Government in the Republic should give the Stormont executive advance notice of reforms to social restrictions on the south of the border.

Dúirt LeasChéad-Aire an Tuaiscirt Michelle O'Neill gur cheart don Rialtas sa Phoblacht fógra roimh ré a thabhairt d'fheidhmeannas Stormont faoi leasuithe atáthar a dhéanamh ar shrianta sóisialta ar an taobh ó dheas den teorainn.

She said that it would be better for the authorities on both sides of the border to work together and to agree policies on covid 19.

Dúirt sí gurbh fhearrde sinn ar fad é na húdaráis ar an dá thaobh den teorainn a bheith ag obair i gcomhar agus polsaithe maidir le covid 19 a aontú.

Speaking on RTE, Michelle O'Neill said she was not happy with the short notice, she said, given to the Northern authorities last Friday about the latest reforms to restrictions in the Republic.

Ag labhairt di ar RTÉ, thug Michelle O'Neill le fios nach raibh sí sásta leis an bhfógra gearr, dar léi, a tugadh do na húdaráis sa Tuaisceart Dé hAoine seo caite faoi na leasuithe is deireanaí ar shrianta sa Phoblacht.

She said the Stormont executive would meet tomorrow to discuss the southern reforms.

Dúirt sí go mbeadh feidhmeannas Stormont ag teacht le chéile amárach leis na leasuithe ó dheas a phlé.

Although she had criticized Northern Swimming Minister Robin Swann's approach several times, she said, she accepted that he had done his best to save lives.

Cé go raibh modh oibre Aire Sláinte an Tuaiscirt Robin Swann cáinte cúpla uair aici, a dúirt sí, ghlac sí leis go ndearna sé a dhícheall le beo daoine a shábháil.

However, she said, all the decisions made by the Department of Health in the north in relation to the crown virus crisis need to be reviewed.

Ar a shon sin, a dúirt sí, caithfear athbhreithniú a dhéanamh ar na cinntí ar fad a rinne an Roinn Sláinte ó thuaidh maidir le géarchéim an choróinvíris.

Mary Irvine nominated President of the High Court.

Mary Irvine ainmnithe mar Uachtarán ar an Ard-Chúirt.

Judge Mary Irvine has been nominated by the Government as President of the High Court.

Tá an Breitheamh Mary Irvine ainmnithe ag an Rialtas mar Uachtarán ar an Ard- Chúirt.

She is the first woman nominated for that position since the foundation of the State.

Is í an chéad bhean a hainmníodh don phost sin ó bunaíodh an Stát.

The nomination was approved at a Government meeting in Dublin Castle today.

Ceadaíodh an t-ainmniúchan ag cruinniú Rialtais i gCaisleán Bhaile Átha Cliath inniu.

Mary Irvine is currently a Supreme Court judge.

Is breitheamh sa Chúirt Uachtarach í Mary Irvine faoi láthair.

She will be officially appointed as President of the High Court by the President of Ireland Michael D Higgins.

Ceapfaidh Uachtarán na hÉireann Michael D Higgins go hoifigiúil ina hUachtarán ar an Ard-Chúirt í amach anseo.

'I understand why they want me back at work, but what.

‘Tuigim cén fáth go bhfuil siad do m’iarraidh ar ais ag an obair, ach céard.

The resistance to the crown virus has reached a transitional period.

Tá idirthréimhse sroichte sa choimhlint in aghaidh an choróinvíris.

The eradication of the virus is unpredictable and unpredictable, but the Department of Health's daily account of the spread of the disease shows a continuing positive trend.

Níl díothú an víris á thuar ná beartaithe, ach tá dea-chlaonadh leanúnach á léiriú sa chuntas laethúil a eisíonn an Roinn Sláinte faoi scaipeadh an ghalair.

On average, five people who get the coronary virus virus die each day.

Ar an meán, faoi láthair, faigheann cúigear a tholg an víreas corónach bás gach lá.

At the end of April, on average 33 people were dying a day.

Ag deireadh mhí Aibreáin, ar an meán 33 duine a bhí ag fáil bháis in aghaidh an lae.

When the spread of the disease reached its peak in April, 160 patients who contracted the virus were being treated daily in hospital intensive care units.

Nuair a shroich leathadh an ghalair a bhuaicphointe i mí Aibreáin, bhí cóir leighis á cur in aonaid dianchúraim na n-ospidéal ar 160 othar a tholg an víreas gach lá.

According to the latest census, they average 34 people and 27 patients on Thursday this week.

34 duine ar an meán atá iontu, de réir an áirimh is déanaí, agus 27 othar a bhí iontu Déardaoin na seachtaine seo.

It is clear from the evidence of these figures that the severe constraints on the economic and social life of the country can be alleviated and that, for example, it is likely that hairdressers will be allowed to return to work at the end of the month.

Is léir ó fhianaise na bhfigiúirí mar sin gur féidir na diansrianta ar shaol eacnamaíochta agus sóisialta na tíre a mhaolú agus gur dóigh mar shampla go gceadófar do ghruagairí dul ar ais ag obair ag deireadh na míosa.

When some of Penneys' shops reopened on Friday, the queues outside reflected the desire of most of us to return to normal life as soon as possible.

Nuair a d’oscail cuid de shiopaí Penneys na doirse arís Dé hAoine, léirigh na scuainí lasmuigh an fonn atá ar ár bhformhór filleadh ar an ngnáthshaol a luaithe agus is féidir.

That said, every expert predicts other outbreaks of the disease.

Sin ráite, tá ráigeanna eile den ghalar á dtuar ag gach saineolaí.

Their prevalence and duration are uncertain, but health authorities will need to be alert to the availability of a strong vaccine or antiviral drug.

Ní féidir a bheith cinnte faoi cé chomh forleathan is a bheidh siad ná cén t-achar a mhairfidh siad, ach beidh ar na húdaráis sláinte a bheith san airdeall go mbeidh vacsaín nó druga láidir frithvíreasach ar fáil.

Meanwhile, figures released by the Department of Health on Thursday expressed concern that should not be overlooked.

Idir an dá linn, léirigh na figiúirí a d’eisigh an Roinn Sláinte Déardaoin ábhar imní nár chóir a ligean i ndearmad.

By midnight on Tuesday, 32% of cases certified were health workers.

Faoi mheán oíche Dé Máirt, oibrithe sláinte a bhí i gceist le 32 faoin gcéad de na cásanna a bhí deimhnithe.

There were 8,114 people whose work was related to some form of service or healthcare.

B’in 8,114 duine a raibh baint ag a gcuid oibre le seirbhís nó le cúram sláinte ar dhóigh éigin.

This means that almost one in three people who have contracted the virus are a hospital worker, a nursing home worker or another health service worker.

Is ionann é sin agus a rá gur oibrí ospidéil, oibrí i dteach altranais nó oibrí i seirbhís sláinte eile duine as gach triúr beagnach a tholg an víreas.

Seven of these health workers died - the most serious indication of the danger to their work.

Fuair seachtar de na hoibrithe sláinte sin bás- an léiriú is tromch...

The past two weeks have no doubt reminded us of the history lessons of racism and colonialism. Speaking at the British Parliament in 1948 British Prime Minister Winston Churchill referred to what the philosopher said Spaniard George Santanaya at the beginning of the last century.

Níl amhras ar bith le coicís anuas ach go bhfuil ceachtanna na staire ó thaobh an chiníochais agus agus an choilíneachais dá meabhrú dúinn go minic Ag labhairt dó i bParlaimint na Breataine i 1948 rinne Príomh-Aire na Breataine Winston Churchill tagairt don mhéid a dúirt an fealsúnaí Spáinneach George Santanaya ag tús an chéid seo caite.

"Churchill's version of the philosopher's judgment of those who do not learn the lessons of history.

“Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it” an leagan a bhí ag Churchill den bhreithiúnas a thug an fealsúnaí orthu siúd nach bhfoghlaimíonn ceachtanna na staire.

There is no doubt that over the past fortnight the lessons of history from the point of view of racism and the strong hand of white race and the great powers of colonialism have often reminded us.

Níl amhras ar bith le coicís anuas ach go bhfuil ceachtanna na staire ó thaobh an chiníochais agus lámh láidir an chine ghil agus chumhachtaí móra an choilíneachais dá meabhrú dúinn go minic.

The protests and demonstrations for equality have sparked debate over the statues and memorials in each country in memory of the eminent figures of history.

Tá díospóireacht tagtha as na hagóidí agus na léirsithe ar son an chomhionannais faoi na dealbha agus na leachtanna cuimhneacháin atá i ngach tír i gcuimhne ar phearsana mór le rá na staire.

Yesterday morning the Edward Colston statue was removed from the river in Bristol and it is now proposed to have the statue fixed in a museum in the city.

Maidin inné tógadh dealbh Edward Colston as an abhainn in Bristol agus tá sé i gceist an dealbh a shocrú anois in iarsmalann sa gcathair.

Therefore, Colston will not be cleared from the memory of the people of the city; it will be hidden and there will be no chance to say that it was sufficiently involved in the development of the city and that it was built on slave ridges and their sweat.

Dá bhrí sin, ní bheidh Colston á ghlanadh as cuimhne mhuintir na cathrach; beidh sé á chur i bhfolach agus ní bheidh deis a rá go raibh baint go leor aige le forbairt na cathrach agus gur ar dhromanna sclábhaithe agus lena gcuid allais a tógadh í.

Here in Ireland there is talk of a memorial to Christopher Columbus in Galway and the erection of a statue for John Mitchell in Newry.

Anseo in Éirinn tá caint ar leacht cuimhneacháin do Christopher Columbus i nGaillimh agus dealbh do John Mitchell in Iúr Chinn Trá a thógáil anuas.

We both supported slavery, we are told.

Thacaigh an bheirt acu leis an sclábhaíocht, deirtear linn.

London's mayor Sadiq Kahn wants to compile a list of remains that should be disposed of in that city as they recall the bad days of colonialism and imperialism.

The same debate is about a statue of Lord Dundass in Edinburgh.

Tá an díospóireacht chéanna faoi dhealbh don Tiarna Dundass i nDún Éideann.

There have long been attempts in the United States to eradicate any traces of the country's history of slavery.

They want to clear any memory of the southern States and slavery from the memory of the country.

€ 50m support to be given to beef farmers.

Tacaíocht €50m le tabhairt d'fheirmeoirí mairteola.

The Government has announced support measures of € 50 million for beef farmers to try to alleviate some of the difficulties they are experiencing as a result of the coronary virus crisis.

Tá beartais tacaíochta luach €50 miillún fógartha ag an Rialtas d'fheirmeoirí mairteola féachaint le cuid de na deacrachtaí atá acu de thoradh ghéarchéim an choróinvíris a mhaolú.

Farmers whose cows are ready to be slaughtered at the slaughterhouse are particularly difficult when the international market is so weak.

Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed has announced that the funding announced today will come from the Exchequer and will come from the European Union.

Thug an tAire Talmhaíochta Michael Creed le fios gur ón Státchiste a thiocfas an maoiniú a fógraíodh inniu agus nach dtiocfaidh aon chuid de ón Aontas Eorpach.

It is said that this will make the administration of the scheme less rigid.

Deirtear nach mbeidh riar na scéime chomh righin docht dá bharr sin.

The Minister said that he is well aware that the beef sector has been badly hit by the health crisis and that the rural economy as a whole is suffering as well.

Dúirt an tAire gur maith is eol dó go bhfuill earnáil na mairteola buailte go dona ag an ngéarchéim sláinte agus go bhfuil eacnamaíocht na tuaithe trí chéile thíos leis chomh maith.

United Farmers' President Tim Cullinan welcomed the support policies and said he would be meeting with Department of Agriculture officials to discuss the details.

Chuir Uachtarán Fheirmeoirí Aontaithe na hÉireann Tim Cullinan fáilte roimh na beartais tacaíochta agus dúirt sé go mbeadh cruinniú aige le oifigigh na Roinne Talmhaíochta amainiris leis na mionsonraí a phlé.

Farmers' choice is to receive direct payment, he said.

Is é rogha na bhfeirmeoirí íocaíocht dhíreach a fháil, a dúirt sé.

For the first time, this year's education program includes children with a behavioral disorder, as well as those who have an intellectual disability but do not have severe difficulties.

Den chéad uair, áirítear sa chlár oideachais i mbliana páistí a bhfuil neamhord iompraíochta ag dul dóibh, chomh maith leo siúd atá faoi mhíchumas intleachtúil ach nach bhfuil deacrachtaí ródhona acu dá bharr.

The program will be run mainly in schools but Special Needs Assistants will be allowed to work from home with the children.

Beidh an clár á reáchtáil i scoileanna den chuid is mó ach beidh cead ag Cúntóirí Riachtanas Speisialta obair ón mbaile in éineacht leis na leanaí.

In addition, the Health Service Executive is to establish a new scheme which will provide additional supports to 1,200 children with special needs.
