651 patients waiting for a bed in hospitals.

651 othar ag fanacht le leaba in ospidéil.

There are 651 patients in hospitals across the country still waiting for a bed, according to the latest daily figures from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Association.

Tá 651 othar in ospidéil ar fud na tíre fós ag fanacht le leaba, de réir na bhfigiúirí laethúla is déanaí ó Chumann Altraí agus Ban Cabhrach na hÉireann.

495 of the patients are in emergency departments and the other 156 are in wards.

Is i rannóga éigeandála atá 495 de na hothair agus is i mbardaí atá an 156 eile.

The situation is worst at Limerick University Hospital, where 116 people are waiting for a bed - 56 of them in the emergency department and the other 60 in wards.

Is in Ospidéal Ollscoile Luimnigh is measa atá an scéal, áit a bhfuil 116 duine ag fanacht le leaba – 56 acu sa rannóg éigeandála agus an 60 eile i mbardaí.

Yesterday, there were 104 patients in that hospital waiting for a bed.

Arú inné, bhí 104 othar san ospidéal sin ag fanacht le leaba.

In light of the latest crisis, all operations at the hospital have been postponed – apart from time-sensitive elective operations – and priority is being given to children and the elderly.

I bhfianaise na géarchéime is déanaí, tá gach obráid san ospidéal curtha ar atráth – seachas obráidí roghnacha a bhfuil práinn ama leo – agus tá tús áite á thabhairt do pháistí agus do sheanóirí.

The management of the hospital said that 252 patients came to the emergency department between 8 o'clock yesterday morning and 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Dúirt bainistíocht an ospidéil gur tháinig 252 othar chuig an rannóg éigeandála idir 8 a chlog ar maidin inné agus 8 a chlog tráthnóna inné.

According to figures from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Association, there are 74 patients at University Hospital, Cork waiting for a bed; 52 in University Hospital, Galway; and 47 at University Hospital, Tallaght.

De réir na bhfigiúirí ó Chumann Altraí agus Ban Cabhrach na hÉireann, tá 74 othar in Ospidéal na hOllscoile, Corcaigh ag fanacht le leaba; 52 in Ospidéal na hOllscoile, Gaillimh; agus 47 in Ospidéal na hOllscoile, Tamhlacht.

In that regard, there are 27 children in the three children's hospitals in Dublin waiting for a bed.

Ina cheann sin, tá 27 leanbh sna trí ospidéal leanaí i mBaile Átha Cliath ag fanacht le leaba.

The General Secretary of the Association Phil Ní Sheaghdha claimed that things have once again gotten out of control and said that the nurses are looking for an urgent meeting with the new head of the Health Service Executive to discuss the situation.

Mhaígh Ard-Rúnaí an Chumainn Phil Ní Sheaghdha go bhfuil cúrsaí imithe ó smacht arís eile agus dúirt go bhfuil na haltraí ag lorg cruinniú práinneach le ceannasaí nua Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte chun an scéal a phlé.

She pointed out that the meeting is even more exciting since an extremely busy weekend is in store for the country's nurses and the St. Patrick's Day celebration is in full swing.

Thug sí le fios gur mó an chruóg fós atá le cruinniú ós deireadh seachtaine thar a bheith gnóthach atá i ndán d'altraí na tíre agus scléip na Féile Pádraig faoi lán seoil.

Two awards, disappointment and pride for the Irish: the story of the Oscars.

Dhá ghradam, díomá agus bród ar na Gaeil: scéal na nOscar.

It was a big night for the Irish film industry last night at the 2023 Oscars with a total of 14 nominations for actors and films.

Oíche mhór d'earnáil scannánaíochta na hÉireann a bhí ann aréir ag Gradaim Oscars na bliana 2023 agus 14 ainmniúchán ar an iomlán faighte ag aisteoirí agus ag scannáin.

The award for Best Live-Action Short Film was awarded to the film 'An Irish Goodbye', and the film's directors, Tom Berkeley and Ross White, accepted the Award on stage last night, together with the main actors James Martin and Séamus O'Hara.

The Department of Finance watching events in Silicon Valley Bank.

An Roinn Airgeadais ag faire imeachtaí i Silicon Valley Bank.

The Department of Finance says it is monitoring what is happening in relation to the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and is in contact with the appropriate authorities.

Deir an Roinn Airgeadais go bhfuil siad ag coinneáil súil ar a bhfuil ag tarlú maidir le teip Silicon Valley Bank agus go bhfuil siad i dteagmháil leis na h- údaráis chuí.

"Although the Bank's failure has had little direct impact on the Irish financial system, a number of Irish companies have received loans from Silicon Valley Bank since 2012," the Department said in a statement.

"Cé gur beag de thionchar díreach atá ag teip an Bhainc ar chóras airgeadais na hÉireann, tá iasachtaí faighte ag roinnt comhlachtaí Éireannacha ó Silicon Valley Bank ó 2012," a dúirt an Roinn i ráiteas.

"The department will keep an eye on the work of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of the United States - the state institution that awards the success of bank deposits - as they try to sell SVB, and the impact that the sale will have on companies that were involved .

"Coimeádfaidh an roinn súil ar obair Chomhlacht Árachais Taiscí Feidearálacha na Stát Aontaithe - an foras stáit a bhronnann rathaíocht ar thaiscí bainc - is iad ag iarraidh SVB a dhíol, agus an tionchar a bheidh a bheidh ag a dhíol ar chomhlachtaí a raibh baint acu leis.

American regulators closed the bank on Friday after a massive withdrawal of deposits after the value of shares collapsed.

Dhún rialtóirí Meiriceánacha an banc Dé hAoine nuair a rinneadh astarraingt ollmhór ar na taiscí tar éis do luach na scaranna titim as a chéile.

In 2019, SVB announced that they intended to increase their lending to Irish technology start-ups to $500m as part of a collaboration with the Irish Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF).

Sa bhliain 2019, d'fhógair SVB go raibh sé i gceist acu a gcuid iasachtaí do ghnólachtai nuabhunaithe teicneolaíochta Éireannacha a mhéadú go $500m mar chuid de chomhoibriú le Ciste Infheistíochta Straitéisach na hÉireann (ISIF).

That Fund said it has approximately $100m invested in five investment funds managed by SVB Capital, a subsidiary of Silicon Valley Bank Group.

Dúirt an Ciste sin go bhfuil tuairim is $100m infheistithe i gcúig chiste infheistíochta atá faoi bhainistíocht SVB Capital, fochuideachta le Silicon Valley Bank Group.

Three killed and three injured by Russian forces in Kherson.

Triúr maraithe agus triúr gortaithe ag fórsaí na Rúise in Kherson.

Three civilians were killed and three injured - including an elderly woman - when the Russians attacked Kherson in southern Ukraine.

Maraíodh triúr sibhialtach agus gortaíodh triúr - bean aosta ina measc - nuair a rinne na Rúisigh ionsaí ar Kherson i ndeisceart na hÚcráine.

Another person was killed in Donetsk, officials in those regions say.

Maraíodh duine eile in Donetsk, a deir oifigigh sna réigiúin sin.

"Today the Russians attacked Kherson again", said the Governor of Kherson, Oleksandr Prokudin, "on Mykolayivsky road, near the shops.

"Inniu d'ionsaigh na Rúisigh Kherson arís", a dúirt Gobhanóir Kherson, Oleksandr Prokudin, "ar bhóthar Mykolayivsky, in aice leis na siopaí.

Missile debris killed three people."

Mharaigh smionagar na ndiúracán triúr."

Ukrainian forces retook control of Kherson in November, after the city had been held by the Russians for the previous eight months, since the Kremlin launched its invasion of Ukraine.

Ghlac fórsaí na hÚcráine smacht ar Kherson in athuair i mí na Samhna, i ndiaidh don chathair a bheith i seilbh na Rúiseach ar feadh ocht mí roimhe sin, ó chuir an Chreimil tús lena n-ionradh ar an Úcráin.

Kherson is now under siege all the time by Russian forces, stationed on the other side of the Dnieper river.

Tá Kherson anois faoi léigear an t-am ar fad ag fórsaí na Rúise, atá lonnaithe ar an taobh eile den abhainn Dnieper.

Kherson is the capital of one of the four regions that Moscow has annexed, but which Russian forces do not yet fully control.

Tá Kherson mar phríomhchathair ceann amháin de na ceithre réigiún a bhfuil ionghabháil déanta ag Moscó orthu, ach nach bhfuil smacht iomlán ag fórsaí na Rúise orthu go fóill.

The other regions are Lugansk, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia.

Is iad Lugansk, Donetsk agus Zaporizhzhia na réigiúin eile.

Meanwhile, the fighting is intensifying in the city of Bakhmut, which is located in eastern Ukraine.

Idir an dá linn, tá ag géarú ar an trodaíocht i gcathair Bakhmut, atá suite in oirthear na hÚcráine.

Many people are being killed there.

Tá go leor daoine á marú ansin.

Moscow says it is important to gain control of that city, as it would help them gain control of the Donbas.

Deir Moscó go bhfuil sé tábhachtach smacht a fháil ar an gcathair sin, mar go gcuideodh sé leo smacht a fháil ar an Donbas.

The West doubts, however, that the city has any strategic importance.

Tá an tIarthar in amhras, áfach, go bhfuil aon tábhacht stráitéiseach ag baint leis an gcathair sin.

They say Russian President Vladimir Putin is putting his foot down and continuing to fight as he has not won another major victory since hundreds of thousands of reservists were called into duty at the end of last year.

Deir siad go bhfuil Uachtarán na Rúise, Vladimir Putin, ag cur a chos i dtaca agus ag leanúint leis an troid mar nach bhfuil aon bhua mór eile bainte amach aige ó cuireadh na céadta míle saighdiúr cúltacaithe i mbun dualgais ag deireadh na bliana seo caite.

The Belgian Government has banned TikTok on official phones.

Cosc curtha ag Rialtas na Beilge ar TikTok ar fhóin oifigiúla.

The prime minister of Belgium has banned civil servants in that country from using TikTok on their work phones.

Tá cosc curtha ag Príomh-aire na Beilge ar státseirbhísigh sa tír sin TikTok a úsáid ar a bhfóin oibre.

Alexander De Croo announced today that the ban on the Chinese app will apply for the next six months, at least.

D'fhógair Alexander De Croo inniu go mbeidh feidhm leis an chosc ar an aip Shíneach go ceann sé mhí, ar a laghad.

The Belgian Government decided to implement the ban as a result of an analysis of the risk of espionage by the Chinese authorities on Belgian news systems and agencies.

Is de bharr anailíse ar bhaol spíodóireachta ó údaráis na Síne ar chórais agus ar ghníomhaireachtaí fáisnéise na Beilge a chinn Rialtas na Beilge an cosc a chur i bhfeidhm.

Other countries in Europe have banned public sector workers from using TikTok on their work phones.

Tá cosc curtha ag tíortha eile san Eoraip ar oibrithe san earnáil phoiblí úsáid a bhaint as TikTok ar a ngutháin oibre.

They fear that the Beijing authorities will take advantage of the social network to collect sensitive information about its users.

Tá faitíos orthu go mbainfidh údaráis Béising leas as an ghréasán sóisialta le h-eolas íogair a bhailiú faoina lucht úsáidte.

European Union authorities recently ordered their employees to remove the app from their phones and work computers.

Le gairid d'ordaigh forais de chuid an Aontais Eorpaigh dá gcuid fostaithe an t-aip a bhaint dá gcuid fóin agus ríomhairí oibre.

"We should not be naive: TikTok is a Chinese business that has an obligation to cooperate with Chinese news services, said Alexander De Croo.

"Ní ceart dúinn a bheith saonta: is gnó Síneach é TikTok a bhfuil dualgas air comhoibriú le seirbhísí fáisnéise na Síne, a dúirt Alexander De Croo.

"That's the truth of the matter."

"Sin í fírinne an scéil."

The ban does not apply to the use of TikTok on the personal phones of civil servants, members of parliament or government ministers.

Ní bhaineann an cosc le úsáid TikTok ar ghutháin phearsanta na státseirbhíseach, na dteachtaí parlaiminte ná na n-airí rialtais.

The TikTok app is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance.

Is leis an chomhlacht Síneach ByteDance an t-aip TikTok.

Most of Ireland is covered by ice and snow.

Mórchuid na hÉireann folaithe ag leac oighir agus sneachta.

Met Éireann has issued two orange weather warnings and places in eight counties, as well as the whole of Connacht, are covered or likely to be covered by snow and ice.

Tá dhá fhógra flannbhuí aimsire eisithe ag Met Éireann agus áiteanna in ocht gcontae, chomh maith le Cúige Chonnacht ar fad, folaithe nó le folú ag sneachta agus leac oighir.

The eight counties involved are Cavan, Clare, Donegal, Westmeath, Longford, Louth, Meath and Monaghan.

Is iad an Cabhán, an Clár, Dún na nGall, an Iarmhí, an Longfort, Lú, an Mhí agus Muineachán na hocht gcontae atá i gceist.

Not to mention the snow and sleet, a strong wind tonight or tomorrow is also promised and it is said that roads and paths will be very slippery.

Gan trácht ar an sneachta agus ar bhflichshneachta, tá gaoth láidir anoir nó anoir aduaidh geallta chomh maith agus deirtear go mbeidh bóithre agus cosáin an-sleamhain.

The orange notice will apply in those places until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Beidh feidhm leis an bhfógra flannbhuí sna háiteanna sin go dtí 10 a chlog ar maidin amárach.

The second orange notice applies to the province of Leinster and will apply from midnight until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Is le Cúige Laighean a bhaineann an dara fógra flannbhuí a mbeidh feidhm leis ón meán oíche go dtí 10 a chlog ar maidin amárach.

A number of primary and secondary schools in Limerick and Co Clare were closed today due to the extreme cold, and it is not yet clear whether they will reopen tomorrow.

Dúnadh roinnt bunscoileanna agus scoileanna dara leibhéal i Luimneach agus i gCo an Chláir inniu as siocair an fhuachta mhóir, agus níl sé soiléir fós an ósclófar arís amárach iad.

In Co Kerry, six people were rescued from the Yellow Buffer mountain in Cruacha Dubha.

I gCo Chiarraí, tarrtháladh seisear ó shliabh an Mhaoláin Bhuí sna Cruacha Dubha.

The Kerry Mountain Rescue Team received word at 4.15 yesterday evening that a woman had fallen on the south-west slope of the mountain, a place of danger which is very close to death.

Fuair Foireann Tarrthála Sléibhe Chiarraí scéal ag 4.15 tráthnóna inné go raibh bean tar éis titim ar learg thiar theas an tsléibhe, áit aimhréidh atá go mór ar chúl éaga.

However, they discovered shortly afterwards that the woman was one of six people stranded on the mountain.

Fuair siad amach go gairid ina dhiaidh sin, áfach, gur dhuine de sheisear a bhí sáinnithe ar an sliabh ab ea an bhean.

Nine hours later, and with a lot of work, the youngster was brought down safely from the mountain.

Naoi n-uaire an chloig ina dhiaidh sin, agus ar mhórán saothair, is ea a tugadh an gasra anuas slán sábháilte ón sliabh.

TikTok is looking to reassure users.

TikTok ag féachaint le húsáideoirí a chur ar a suaimhneas.

RTÉ News and Current Affairs The social media company TikTok has confirmed that it will establish its second data center in Ireland in Dublin.

Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ Tá sé dearbhaithe ag an gcomhlacht meáin shóisialta TikTok gur i mBaile Átha Cliath a bhunós siad a ndara hionad sonraí in Éirinn.

The other center is also in Dublin.

Is i mBaile Átha Cliath atá an t-ionad eile chomh maith.

The situation is controversial, however, since TikTok is a Chinese company, and the authorities in Europe and Western countries alike are concerned that the company is under the control of the Chinese Government and that it is a Trojan Horse.

Tá conspóid ag baint leis an scéal, áfach, ós comhlacht Síneach é TikTok, agus tá imní ar na húdaráis san Eoraip agus i dtíortha an Iarthair trí chéile go bhfuil an comhlacht faoi anáil Rialtas na Síne agus go bhfuil sé mar Chapall Adhmaid na Traí.

In fact, Data Protection Commissioner Helen Dixon has an investigation underway and nearing completion into data sent by TikTok to China.

Go deimhin, tá fiosrúchán ar bun agus beagnach críochnaithe ag an gCoimisinéir Cosanta Sonraí Helen Dixon faoi shonraí a sheol TikTok chun na Síne.

Yesterday, Helen Dixon discussed the matter with representatives from the National Cyber Security Centre.

Inné féin, phléigh Helen Dixon an scéal le hionadaithe ón Lárionad Náisiúnta Cibearshlándála.

In that regard, Justice Minister Simon Harris has said that the Government had sought fresh security advice in relation to TikTok.

Ina cheann sin, tá sé ráite ag an Aire Dlí agus Cirt Simon Harris go raibh comhairle úr slándála maidir le TikTok lorgtha ag an Rialtas.

The Government has a big voice on the issue since TikTok's European headquarters is in this country, and the company employs around 3,000 people in Ireland.

Tá guthaíocht mhór ag an Rialtas ar an gceist ós sa tír seo atá ceanncheathrú Eorpach TikTok, agus tá thart ar 3,000 duine fostaithe ag an gcomhlacht in Éirinn.

Two weeks ago, the European Union authorities banned the use of TikTok on official devices due to fears of data theft or other cyber fraud.

Coicís ó shin, chuir forais an Aontais Eorpaigh cosc ar fheidhm a bhaint as TikTok ar ghléasanna oifigiúla le teann faitís go gcibearghoidfí sonraí nó go ndéanfaí cibearfheall de chineál eile.

TikTok claimed that this decision by the European Union was unreasonable and based on a misunderstanding.

Mhaígh TikTok go raibh cinneadh seo an Aontais Eorpaigh místuama agus gur míthuiscint ba bhun leis.

In light of all these issues, and for the sake of a solution, TikTok announced today that they were going to introduce new security policies.

I bhfianaise na gceisteanna seo ar fad, agus de ghrá an réitigh, d'fhógair TikTok inniu go raibh siad le beartais nua slándála a thabhairt isteach.

The company indicated that the data of European users would be stored in the two centers in Dublin and another center near the capital of Norway, Oslo.

Thug an comhlacht le fios go gcoinneofaí i dtaisce sonraí úsáideoirí Eorpacha sa dá ionad i mBaile Átha Cliath agus in ionad eile in aice le príomhchathair na hIorua, Osló.

A security company unrelated to TikTok is said to be in charge of those three data centers.

Comhlacht slándála nach bhfuil aon bhaint acu le TikTok a bheas i bhfeighil na dtrí ionad sonraí sin, a dúradh.

TikTok is popularized for sharing short videos online and the app is especially popular with young people.

Baintear earraíocht as TikTok le físeáin ghearra a roinnt ar líne agus tá an-tóir ag an aos óg go háirithe ar an aip.

TikTok was founded in Beijing in 2016 and has hundreds of millions of users in Europe, not to mention the rest of the world.

Ice sheet promised overnight Ireland tonight and tomorrow.

Leac oighir geallta seachnóin Éireann anocht agus amárach.

Met Éireann and the Northern Meteorological Office have issued a warning about the whole country from Antrim to Kerry being under ice tonight and tomorrow morning.

Tá foláireamh faoin tír ar fad ó Aontroim go Ciarraí a bheith faoi leac oighir anocht agus ar maidin amárach eisithe ag Met Éireann agus ag an Oifig Mheitéareolaíochta sa Tuaisceart.

A yellow alert – the least dangerous of the three categories – has been issued by both organisations.

Foláireamh buí – an chatagóir is neamhurchóidí as na trí chatagóir – atá eisithe ag an dá eagraíocht.

For that - without blocking the roads - it is said that the paths will be very slippery and we are appealing to everyone, if they protect them, to be careful in case they slip.

Ar a shon sin – gan na bóithre a bhac – deirtear go mbeidh cosáin an-sleamhain agus táthar ag achainí ar gach uile dhuine, dá chosdaingne iad, a bheith fíoraireach ar fhaitíos go sciorrfaidís.

The southerly warning will be in place between 6 o'clock this evening and 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Beidh an foláireamh ó dheas i bhfeidhm idir 6 a chlog tráthnóna inniu agus 10 a chlog ar maidin amárach.

Between 9 o'clock tonight and 10 o'clock tomorrow morning the warning will apply to the north.

Idir 9 a chlog anocht agus 10 a chlog ar maidin amárach a bheas feidhm leis an bhfoláireamh ó thuaidh.

It will be very cold tonight, and the lowest temperature will be between freezing and four degrees below.

Beidh sé an-fhuar anocht, agus is idir an reophointe agus cheithre chéim faoina bhun a bheas an teocht is ísle.

The air will be gray again tomorrow but it will be mostly bright and sunny.

Beidh goimh ar an aer arís amárach ach beidh sé geal grianmhar den chuid is mó.

The sunshine will only be a temporary treat, however, as meteorologists say the weather won't clear until Thursday.

Ní bheidh sa lonrú gréine ach cneasú thar ghoimh, ámh, ó deir na meitéareolaithe nach mbogfaidh an aimsir go dtí Déardaoin.

Microsoft to let another 60 employees in Ireland go.

Microsoft le 60 fostaí eile in Éirinn a ligean chun siúil.

Technology giant Microsoft is to let another 60 employees go in Ireland.

Tá an ollchomhlacht teicneolaíochta Microsoft le 60 fostaí eile in Éirinn a ligean chun siúil.

The company announced at the beginning of last month that 120 people in this country were to be allowed to walk, but today it was declared that 180 would be involved.

D'fhógair an comhlacht i dtús na míosa seo caite go rabhthas le 120 duine sa tír seo a ligean chun siúil ach dearbhaíodh inniu gur 180 a bheas i gceist.

Microsoft employs over 3,500 people in Ireland - based in the company's operations, sales, engineering and product development departments.

Tá barr ar 3,500 duine fostaithe ag Microsoft in Éirinn – a mbunáite i rannóga oibríochtaí, díolachán, innealtóireachta agus forbartha táirgí an chomhlachta.

At the beginning of the year, Microsoft indicated that the company intended to let 10,000 employees walk in different centers around the world by the end of this year.

I dtús na bliana, thug Microsoft le fios go raibh rún ag an gcomhlacht 10,000 fostaí a ligean chun siúil in ionaid éagsúla ar fud an domhain faoi dheireadh na bliana seo.

At the time, the company's chief executive Satya Nadella claimed that "as customers wanted to spend more time in the digital world, they also wanted to spend less money on it".

Ag an am, mhaígh príomhfheidhmeannach an chomhlachta Satya Nadella "tar éis go raibh custaiméirí ag iarraidh níos mó ama a chaitheamh sa saol digiteach, go raibh siad ag iarraidh ag an am céanna níos lú airgid a chaitheamh air".

The tech sector in the United States is in recession and the biggest companies have been letting go for months - such as Twitter, Meta, Stripe, Amazon, Intel, Google, Salesforce, PayPal, HubSpot and Dell, as well as Microsoft .

Tá an earnáil teicneolaíochta sna Stáit Aontaithe ag cúlú agus tá oibrithe á ligean chun siúil ag na comhlachtaí is mó le roinnt míonna – leithéidí Twitter, Meta, Stripe, Amazon, Intel, Google, Salesforce, PayPal, HubSpot agus Dell, chomh maith le Microsoft.

The story relates to the overgrowth that is said to have occurred over several years in the international technology sector.

Baineann an scéal leis an rófhás a deirtear a tháinig le roinnt blianta ar an earnáil teicneolaíochta idirnáisiúnta.
