Conservation of the hen harrier coming forward.

Caomhnú chromán na gcearc ag teacht ar aghaidh.

Fise journalist A bonus fund of € 450,000 is to be paid to farmers for their efforts in preserving the hen harrier.

Iriseoir Fise Ta ciste bónais luach €450,000 le híoc le feirmeoirí as a gcuid iarrachtaí cromán na gcearc a chaomhnú.

This majestic bird of prey that nests in the mountains and moorlands is particularly vulnerable.

Tá an t-éan creiche maorga seo a neadaíonn sna sléibhte agus sna corraigh go mór i mbaol.

According to the latest National Wildlife and Wildlife Service census, it is estimated that there are now between 108-157 pairs in Ireland.

De réir an éanáirimh is déanaí ag an tSeirbhís Náisiúnta agus Fiadhúlra, meastar nach bhfuil ach idir 108-157 péire in Éirinn anois.

The bonus is to be paid to farmers participating in the Department of Agriculture's Hen Harrier Program and to be awarded to them due to the significant increase in the number of grouse harriers last year.

Tá an bónas le híoc le feirmeoirí atá páirteach i gClár Chromán na gCearc na Roinne Talmhaíochta agus é le hronnadh orthu mar gheall ar an méadú suntasach a tháinig ar líon na ngearrcach a chnag sliogán anuraidh.

This conservation scheme is worth € 25m with over 1,500 farmers taking part.

Is fiú €25m an scéim chaomhnaithe seo agus tá breis agus 1,500 feirmeoir ag glacadh páirte ann.

The scheme is administered in six protected areas, covering a land area of 38,000 hectares over nine counties.

Tá an scéim á riar i sé limistéar faoi chosaint, achar talún 38,000 heicteár a shíneann thar naoi gcontae.

Last year, 56 pairs had 81 fins in the protected areas, the most successful season of the past fourteen years.

Anuraidh, bhí 81 gearrcach ag 56 péire sna limistéir atá faoi chosaint, an séasúr ba rathúla le ceithre bliana déag anuas.

On Sliabh Luachra in Co. Kerry, one pair managed to feed five young monkeys.

Ar Shliabh Luachra i gCo Chiarraí, d'éirigh le péire amháin cúig cinn de ghearrcaigh a chothú.

Farmers participating in the scheme are required to properly manage the mountains and implement actions that enhance the diversity of the habitat.

Bíonn ar fheirmeoirí atá páirteach sa scéim bainistiú cuí a dhéanamh ar na sléibhte agus gníomhaíochtaí a chur i bhfeidhm a chuireann le héagsúlacht na gnáthóige.

More information on the scheme is available here.

Tá tuilleadh eolais faoin scéim le fáil anseo.

70,000 homes affected by flood, center by 2050.

Tuilte le cur isteach ar 70,000 teach, ionad faoi 2050.

Flooding in the coastal area of Ireland as a result of climate change will affect over 70,000 homes and homes by 2050, according to an analysis carried out by geography research firm Gamma.

Cuirfidh tuilte i gceantar an chósta in Éirinn mar thoradh ar athrú aeráide isteach ar os cionn 70,000 ionad agus teach cónaithe faoin mbliain 2050, de réir anailíse atá déanta ag an gcomhlacht Gamma a dhéanann taighde ar chúrsaí tíreolaíochta.

62,000 of these are homes and Dublin, Co Louth and Co Clare are the worst hit, according to the research.

Tithe cónaithe iad 62,000 acu seo agus is iad Baile Átha Cliath, Co Lú agus Co an Chláir na háiteanna is measa a bheas buailte, de réir an taighde.

Limerick and Co Galway are also in danger, it is said.

Tá Luimneach agus Co na Gaillimhe i mbaol freisin, a deirtear.

The research's conclusion is based on the predicted 2% rise in temperature by 2050 and the consequent rise in sea level.

Tá tátal an taighde bunaithe ar an ardú teochta 2 faoin gcéad atá á thuar faoin mbliain 2050 agus ar an ardú a thiocfas ar leibhéal na farraige dá réir.

Gamma provides insurance companies with information when assessing home insurance according to where the house is located.

Cuireann Gamma faisnéis ar fáil do chomhlachtaí árachais nuair atá measúnú á dhéanamh ar árachas tí de réir na háite a bhfuil an teach lonnaithe.

"There will be no international border on the Mediterranean".

"Ní bheidh teorainn idirnáisiúnta ar an Muir Mheann".

A document published today by the British Government states that Britain and the North will not have an "international border" on the Mediterranean as part of new customs arrangements with the European Union.

Deirtear i gcáipéis a d'fhoilsigh Rialtas na Breataine inniu nach mbeidh "teorainn idirnáisiunta" idir an Bhreatain agus an Tuaisceart ar an Muir Mheann mar chuid de shocruithe nua custam leis an Aontas Eorpach.

According to the document, there will be no tariffs on goods moved between Britain and the North provided that these goods remain within the UK customs area.

De réir na cáipéise, ní bheidh aon taraifí ar earraí a bhogfar idir an Bhreatain agus an Tuaisceart ar an gcoinníoll go bhfanfaidh na hearraí sin taobh istigh de limistéar custam na Ríochta Aontaithe.

It also states that no new customs infrastructure will be established in the North.

Deirtear freisin nach mbunófar aon infreastruchtúr nua custam sa Tuaisceart.

The document relates to a previous agreement known as the "Irish Protocol".

Baineann an cháipéis le comhaontú a rinneadh roimhe seo a dtugtar "Prótacal na hÉireann" air.

That agreement states that there will be no hard border on the island of Ireland.

Deirtear sa chomhaontú sin nach mbeidh aon teorainn chrua ar oileán na hÉireann.

However, it is considered that the proposed plan will not solve the difficulties of bargaining talks between Britain and the European Union under the customs arrangements to be put in place at the end of the year.

Ceaptar, áfach, nach réiteoidh an plean atá molta na deacrachtaí atá sna cainteanna margála idir an Bhreatain agus an tAontas Eorpach faoi na socruithe custam atá le cur i bhfeidhm ag deireadh na bliana.

Many pubs intend to reopen as restaurants.

Rún ag go leor tithe tábhairne oscailt arís mar bhialanna.

44% of pubs in Dublin intend to open as restaurants on June 29th.

Tá sé i gceist ag 44 faoin gcéad de thithe tábhairne i mBaile Átha Cliath oscailt mar bhialanna ar 29 Meitheamh.

This is according to a survey of 750 pubs by the Licensed Publishers Association.

Sin de réir suirbhé atá déanta ar 750 teach tábhairne ag Cumann na dTábhairneoirí Ceadúnaithe.

Under the Government's plan to reduce restrictions on covid 19, pubs will not be allowed to open until August but restaurants will be allowed to reopen from late June.

Faoi phlean an Rialtais le maolú a chur ar shrianta covid 19, ní bheidh aon chead ag tithe tábhairne oscailt go dtí mí Lúnasa ach beidh cead ag bialanna oscailt arís ó dheireadh an Mheithimh.

The pubs have a restaurant certificate that they plan to open at the end of June.

Tá teastas bialainne ag na tithe tábhairne a bhfuil rún acu oscailt ag deireadh an Mheithimh.

It is estimated that there are about 330 pubs.

Meastar gur thart ar 330 teach tábhairne atá i gceist.

Another 16 died by covid 19, 51 new cases.

16 eile básaithe le covid 19, 51 cás nua.

It was announced this afternoon that 16 others have died of covid 19 disease in the State and that there are 51 new cases.

Fógraíodh tráthnóna go bhfuil 16 eile básaithe leis an ngalar covid 19 sa Stát agus go bhfuil 51 cás nua ann.

This means that a total of 1,561 people have died from the disease in the Republic of Ireland and 24,251 people have contracted the virus.

Fágann seo go bhfuil 1,561 duine ar fad básaithe leis an ngalar i bPoblacht na hÉireann agus go bhfuil an coróinvíreas tolgtha ag 24,251 duine.

At the daily afternoon press conference, Department of Health Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan said 295,626 tests for coronary virus had been done in this country since the outbreak of the crisis.

Ag an bpreasócáid laethúil tráthnóna, dúirt Príomhoifigeach Leighis na Roinne Sláinte an Dr Tony Holohan go raibh 295,626 tástáil don choróinvíreas déanta sa tír seo ó thús na géarchéime.

In the week 36,818 of the tests were conducted and 932 (2.5%) were positive, he said.

Le seachtain a rinneadh 36,818 de na tástálacha agus bhí 932 díobh (2.5 faoin gcéad ) deimhneach, a dúirt sé.

Dr Cillian De Gascún, who chairs the National Public Health Emergency Team, said the number of positive tests shows that the virus is being suppressed in the community.

Dúirt an Dr Cillian De Gascún, atá ina chathaoirleach ar an bhFoireann Náisiúnta Éigeandála Sláinte Poiblí, go léiríonn líon na dtástálacha deimhneacha go bhfuil an víreas á bhrú faoi chois sa phobal.

Earlier, it was confirmed that seven others have died of covid 19 in the North and that there are 20 new cases.

Níos túisce, dearbhaíobh go bhfuil seachtar eile básaithe le covid 19 sa Tuaisceart agus go bhfuil 20 cás nua ann..

That means 489 people have died of the disease in the north and there are 4,421 confirmed cases.

Fágann sin go bhfuil 489 duine básaithe leis an ngalar ó thuaidh agus go bhfuil 4,421 cás deimhnithe ann.

Hardship Sunday Pilgrimage canceled.

Oilithreacht Dhomhnach na Cruaiche curtha ar ceal.

The Hardy Sunday Pilgrimage has been canceled this year in light of the crown virus crisis.

Tá Oilithreacht Dhomhnach na Cruaiche curtha ar ceal i mbliana i bhfianaise ghéarchéim an choróinvíreas.

The trip to the top of Croagh Patrick in Co. Mayo takes place on the last Sunday of July each year and thousands of people take part.

Déantar an turas go barr Chruach Phádraig i gCo Mhaigh Eo an Domhnach deireanach de mhí Iúil gach aon bhliain agus glacann na mílte duine páirt ann.

In a statement today, the organizers of the pilgrimage said that it would not be possible this year to run such a large event properly.

I ráiteas inniu, dúirt lucht eagraithe na hoilithreachta nach mbeadh sé indéanta i mbliana ócáid chomh mór sin a stiúradh mar ba cheart.

They said a big challenge was limiting visitor numbers and forcing people to stay two meters from their nearest person. In addition, it was pointed out, many of the tour wardens are over 70 years of age and are still bundled inside their homes in accordance with Government directives.

Ba mhór an dúshlán, a dúirt siad, líon na gcuairteoirí a theorannú agus iallach a chur ar dhaoine fanacht dhá mhéadar ón té is gaire dóibh. Rud eile de, a dúradh, tá go leor de mhaoir an turais os cionn 70 bliain d'aois agus tá siad fós á gcuachadh féin istigh ina dtithe de réir threoracha an Rialtais.

The pilgrimage was also canceled in 2015 due to the rains that occurred on that day.

Cuireadh an oilithreacht ar ceal in 2015 chomh maith i ngeall ar an díle bháistí a tharla an lá úd.

However, many people made the trip at all, regardless of the organizers' requests.

Mar sin féin, rinne go leor daoine an turas ar aon chor, beag beann ar iarratais an lucht eagraithe.

People are being petitioned to abide by the council this year.

Táthar ag achainí ar dhaoine cloí leis an gcomhairle i mbliana.

That’s a 4,000 drop in a week.

Sin titim 4,000 le seachtain.

This payment is a weekly allowance of € 350 for people who are unemployed due to a health emergency.

Liúntas seachtainiúil €350 atá san íocaíocht seo le haghaidh daoine atá dífhostaithe de bharr na héigeandála sláinte.

In addition to this payment, 214,700 people are in receipt of normal unemployment allowance of € 203 a week.

Chomh maith le lucht na híocaíochta seo, tá 214,700 duine ag fáil an ghnáthliúntais dífhostaíochta €203 sa tseachtain.

A further 464,000 people are benefiting from the subsidy scheme under which the State pays a percentage of people's wages.

Tá 464,000 duine eile ag baint sochair as an scéim fóirdheontas faoina n-íocann an Stát céatadán de phá daoine.

De réir na scéime seo, íocann an Stát ag íoc suas le 70 faoin gcéad den phá na n-oibrithe fad is nach ligeann a bhfostóir chun siúil iad.

Slight increase in passenger numbers on transport services.

Ardú beag ar líon paisinéirí ar sheirbhísí iompair.

National Transport Authority chief executive Anne Graham said there is a slight increase in passenger numbers on trains and buses today.

Dúirt príomhfheidhmeannach an Údaráis Náisiúnta Iompair Anne Graham go bhfuil ardú beag ar an líon daoine atá ag taisteal ar thraenacha agus ar bhusanna inniu.

While some people are returning to work for the first time in a few months today, she said, there are enough public transport services available to serve them.

Cé go bhfuil roinnt daoine ag filleadh ar a gcuid oibre den chéad uair le cúpla mí inniu, a dúirt sí, tá dóthain seirbhísí iompair phoiblí ar fáil chun friotháil orthu.

Only 20% of transport services have been operating since the introduction of social restrictions as part of efforts to eradicate coronary virus in this country.

Níl ach 20 faoin gcéad de sheirbhísí iompair ag feidhmiú ó tugadh isteach srianta sóisialta mar chuid de na hiarrachtaí an coróinvíreas a chloí sa tír seo.

Anne Graham argued that transport companies have the capacity to implement physical separation of trains and buses at present but that further social restrictions will be further eased in three weeks.

Mhaígh Anne Graham go bhfuil sé d'acmhainn ag na comhlachtaí iompair scaradh fisiciúil a chur i bhfeidhm ar thraenacha agus ar bhusanna faoi láthair ach go mbeidh dúshláin bhreise ann nuair a mhaolófar srianta sóisialta tuilleadh i gceann trí seachtaine.
