Planning permission for the Galway Ring Road to be cancelled.

Cead pleanála do Chuarbhóthar na Gaillimhe le cur ar ceal.

The planning permission granted for the Galway City Ring Road is to be cancelled.

Tá an cead pleanála a tugadh do Chuarbhóthar Chathair na Gaillimhe le cur ar ceal.

Although the Bord Pleanála gave permission last year to build the eighteen kilometer ring road, it emerged that the State's action plan for the climate was not taken into account when evaluating the proposal.

Cé gur thug an Bord Pleanála cead anuraidh an cuarbhóthar ocht gciliméadar déag a thógáil, tháinig sé chun solais nár cuireadh san áireamh plean gníomhaithe an Stáit ar son na haeráide agus an togra á mheas.

The Board admitted that they did not know that the climate plan had been implemented four days before they gave planning permission for the ring road.

D'admhaigh an Bord nach raibh a fhios acu go raibh an plean aeráide curtha i ngníomh ceithre lá sular thug siad cead pleanála don chuarbhóthar.

In light of this, the Board indicated this afternoon that they would not oppose any court order to cancel the planning permission.

Ina fhianaise sin, thug an Bord le fios tráthnóna nach gcuirfidís in aghaidh aon ordú cúirte an cead pleanála a chur ar ceal.

Various people were opposing the road and had made applications for judicial review.

Bhí daoine éagsúla ag cur in aghaidh an bhóthair agus bhí iarratais déanta acu ar athbhreithniú breithiúnach.

The ring road was to be built between Bearna on the western edge of Galway and Culeach on the eastern edge.

Bhí an cuarbhóthar le tógáil idir Bearna ar chiumhais thiar na Gaillimhe agus Cúil Each ar an gciumhais thoir.

Proponents say it would ease the heavy traffic congestion around the city but opponents say it would greatly increase carbon emissions.

Deir daoine atá ar a shon go maolódh sé an brú mór tráchta thart ar an gcathair ach deir daoine atá in aghaidh go gcuirfeadh sé go mór le hastaíochtaí carbóin.

The local authorities in Galway have indicated that they believe that a solution can be found to the situation and that they intend to continue with the general proposal.

Tá sé tugtha le fios ag na húdaráis áitiúla i nGaillimh go gcreideann siad gur féidir réiteach a fháil ar an scéal agus go bhfuil rún acu leanúint leis an togra ginearálta.

More protests about high costs planned by students.

Tuilleadh agóidí faoi chostais arda beartaithe ag mic léinn.

News Hundreds of students walked out of lectures in third level colleges shortly after 11 o'clock this morning to express their dissatisfaction with the high cost of living and the accommodation and rent crisis.

Nuacht Shiúil na céadta mac léinn amach as léachtlanna i gcoláistí tríú leibhéal go gairid tar éis 11 a chlog ar maidin inniu lena míshástacht a chur in iúl faoin chostas ard maireachtála agus faoin ghéarchéim lóistín agus cíosa.

The students later protested on the lawns and squares of their university campuses.

Chuaigh na scoláirí i mbun agóide ina dhiaidh sin ar fhaichí agus ar chearnóga a gcuid campas ollscoile.

Young people across the country are struggling to find affordable accommodation close to college and many of them have to make a long journey every day to continue their studies.

Tá deacrachtaí ag daoine óga ar fud na tíre lóistín inacmhainne a aimsiú gar don choláiste agus caithfidh go leor acu turas fada a dhéanamh gach lá le go dtig leo leanacht dá gcúrsa léinn.

They are petitioning the Government to put restrictions on rent for students, give them accommodation subsidies and provide more accommodation for students that would not be under the control of the private sector.

Tá siad ag achainí ar an Rialtas srianta a chur ar chíos do mhic léinn, fóirdheontas lóistín a thabhairt dóibh agus breis lóistín do mhic léinn nach mbeadh faoi smacht na hearnála príobháidí a chur ar fáil.

Although the Government has approved a reduction of €1,000 on university fees for this academic year, the various memberships want the appropriate financial recognition to be given to doctoral graduates who teach university classes as part of their duties.

Cé gur cheadaigh an Rialtas laghdú €1,000 ar tháillí ollscoile don bhliain acadúil seo, tá na comhaltais éagsúla ag iarraidh go dtabharfaí an t-aitheantas airgeadais cuí d'iarchéimithe dochtúireachta a mhúineann ranganna ollscoile mar chuid dá gcúraimí.

The Union of Students in Ireland, which organized the national protest today, said that it is only the beginning of the campaign for their right.

Dúirt Aontas na Mac Léinn in Éirinn, a d'eagraigh an agóid náisiúnta inniu, nach bhfuil ann ach tús an fheachtais ar son a gceart.

At the protest at the University of Galway, it was said that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael had plenty of opportunities to tackle the accommodation problem but that it was clear that they had not made any efforts.

Ag an agóid in Ollscoil na Gaillimhe, dúradh go raibh neart deiseanna ag Fianna Fáil agus Fine Gael tabhairt faoin bhfadhb lóistín ach gur léir nach raibh aon iarrachtaí déanta acu.

Students who took part in the protest outside the arts and sciences building in Galway were reminded to register to vote in order to have a voice in the next general election.

Meabhraíodh do mhic léinn a bhí páirteach san agóid taobh amuigh d’áras na ndána agus na n-eolaíochtaí i nGaillimh clárú le vótáil le go mbeadh guth acu sa chéad olltoghchán eile.

Presented by Liz Truss to Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng.

A thópar tugtha ag Liz Truss don Seansailéir Kwasi Kwarteng.

British Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng has been fired from his position by Prime Minister Liz Truss in light of the financial markets' disapproval of his fiscal policies and the concurrence of Conservative MPs.

Tá Seansailéir na Breataine Kwasi Kwarteng briste as a phost ag an bPríomh-Aire Liz Truss i bhfianaise neamhghlacadh na margaí airgeadais lena pholasaithe fioscacha agus chomhéirí fheisirí parlaiminte an Pháirtí Chaomhaigh.

Former British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has been appointed Chancellor in his place.

Tá iar- Rúnaí Gnóthaí Eachtracha na Breataine Jeremy Hunt ceaptha ina Sheansailéir ina áit.

Liz Truss indicated that she regretted the departure of Kwasi Kwarteng and claimed that he had put the national interest before his own.

Thug Liz Truss le fios go mb'oth léi imeacht Kwasi Kwarteng agus mhaígh go raibh an leas náisiúnta curtha aige roimh a leas féin.

The story concerns how the mini-budget announced by Kwasi Kwarteng three weeks ago, shortly after Liz Truss was elected Prime Minister, was accepted and not accepted.

Baineann an scéal leis an gcaoi ar glacadh agus nár glacadh leis an mionbhuiséad a d'fhógair Kwasi Kwarteng trí seachtaine ó shin, go gairid tar éis do Liz Truss a bheith tofa ina Príomh-Aire.

According to the mini-budget - which the Chancellor and the Prime Minister agreed on - a wide range of tax cuts would be introduced and more sectors of the economy would be deregulated in the hope of bringing a new economic boom under Britain.

De réir an mhionbhuiséid - a raibh an Seansailéir agus an Príomh-Aire ar aon intinn faoi - thabharfaí raon leathan ciorruithe cánach isteach agus dhírialófaí tuilleadh earnálacha den gheilleagar le súil borradh úr eacnamaíochta a chur faoin mBreatain.

However, these policies shocked the financial markets, and the value of the pound fell, and the costs of mortgages and other loans rose.

Bhain na polasaithe seo scanradh as lucht na margaí airgeadais, áfach, agus thit luach an phuint, agus d'ardaigh costais morgáistí agus iasachtaí eile.

At a press event in the evening, Liz Truss announced that she now intends to go back on one of her policies and raise corporate tax as Boris Johnson had planned before her.

Ag preasócáid tráthnóna, d'fhógair Liz Truss go bhfuil rún aici anois dul siar ar cheann dá polasaithe agus cáin chorparáideach a ardú mar a bhí beartaithe ag Boris Johnson roimpi.

It is not clear, however, whether these events will be enough for Liz Truss to save herself from her Conservative Party escapades.

Níl sé soiléir, ámh, an leor na himeachtaí seo le Liz Truss í féin a thabhairt slán óna heascairde sa Pháirtí Caomhach.

The members of the party are not overjoyed, nor are they at risk of it, about what the recent polls have indicated.

Ní róshásta, ná baol air, atá feisirí an pháirtí faoina bhfuil á dtabhairt le fios ag na pobalbhreitheanna le gairid.

If those polls were true, and if there was a general election soon, the Tories would be thrashed.

Dá mb'fhíor do na pobalbhreitheanna sin, agus dá mbeadh olltoghchán ann gan mhoill, dhéanfaí slad ar na Tóraithe.

118 days was the shortest period spent by anyone as British Prime Minister.

118 lá an tréimhse ba ghairide a chaith aon duine mar Phríomh-Aire na Breataine.

It was the Tory George Canning in 1827.

B'in é an Tóraí George Canning sa bhliain 1827.

Liz Truss will not spend that many days in Downing Street until January 2 next year, if ever.

Ní bheidh an méid sin laethanta caite ag Liz Truss i Sráid Downing go dtí 2 Eanáir na bliana...

Irish woman arrested for murder to be extradited.

Bean as Éirinn a gabhadh faoi dhúnmharú le heiseachadadh.

A woman from Dublin who is being held by the authorities in South Africa has indicated that she will not oppose her extradition to Ireland.

Tá sé tugtha le fios ag bean as Baile Átha Cliath atá á coinneáil ag na húdaráis san Afraic Theas nach gcuirfidh sí in aghaidh a heiseachadta go hÉirinn.

Ruth Lawrence, who is 42 years old, was arrested in the city of Bloemfontein last week pursuant to an international arrest warrant.

Gabhadh Ruth Lawrence, atá 42 bliain d'aois, i gcathair Bloemfontein an tseachtain seo caite de bhun barántais ghabhála idirnáisiúnta.

The Gardai want to question her about the murder of two men from Dublin in Co Meath eight and a half years ago.

Tá na Gardaí ag iarraidh í a cheistiú faoi dhúnmharú bheirt fhear as Baile Átha Cliath i gCo na Mí ocht mbliana go leith ó shin.

The bodies of the pair - Eoin O'Connor and Anthony Keegan - were found wrapped in plastic sheets around them on Inse Cop in Loch Sileann, Co Meath, in April 2014.

Fuarthas coirp na beirte - Eoin O'Connor agus Anthony Keegan - agus leatháin phlaisteacha casta timpeall orthu ar Inse Cop i Loch Síleann, Co na Mí, i mí Aibreáin 2014.

It is believed that the two went together to the area, where they were to meet someone.

Creidtear go ndeachaigh an bheirt le chéile chun an cheantair, mar a raibh siad le bualadh le duine nó dream éigin.

However, their families contacted the Gardaí when they did not hear from them after that.

Chuir a dteaghlaigh fios ar na Gardaí, áfach, nuair nach bhfuair siad aon scéal uathu ina dhiaidh sin.

It is understood that Ruth Lawrence went to South Africa soon after with her partner Neville van der Westhuizen.

Tuigtear go ndeachaigh Ruth Lawrence chun na hAfaice Theas go luath ina dhiaidh sin in éindí lena páirtí Neville van der Westhuizen.

The Gardaí are also trying to question him about the murders of Eoin O'Connor and Anthony Keegan but he is serving a life sentence in South Africa for another murder.

Tá na Gardaí ag iarraidh eisean a cheistiú chomh maith faoi dhúnmharú Eoin O'Connor agus Anthony Keegan ach tá téarma príosúin saoil á chur isteach aige san Afraic Theas faoi dhúnmharú eile.

Suspicious in the case of Madeline McCann accused of sexual offenses.

Amhrastach i gcás Madeline McCann cúisithe i gcionta gnéis.

In Germany, the main suspect in the case of the young girl Madeline McCann is accused of sexual offenses that took place in Portugal between the years 2000 and 2017.

Sa Ghearmáin, tá an duine is mó atá faoi amhras maidir le cás an chailín óig Madeline McCann cúisithe i gcionta gnéis a tharla sa Phortaingéil idir na blianta 2000 agus 2017.

It was announced today that Christian Brueckner, a 45-year-old German man, has been charged by the authorities in the city of Braunschweig with five sexual offences.

Fógraíodh inniu go bhfuil Christian Brueckner, fear Gearmánach 45 bliain d'aois, cúisithe ag na húdaráis i gcathair Braunschweig i gcúig chion gnéis.

Three counts of rape and two counts of child sexual abuse have been charged.

Trí chúis éignithe agus dhá chúis maidir le drochúsáid ghnéasach leanaí atá curtha ina leith.

The rape of a woman from Ireland in 2004 is one of the reasons.

Tá éigniú mná as Éirinn in 2004 ar cheann na de na cúiseanna.

Madeline McCann was last seen on 3 May 2007 while on holiday with her family in Praia da Luz in southern Portugal.

Chonacthas Madeline McCann go deireanach ar an 3 Bealtaine 2007 agus í ar saoire lena muintir in Praia da Luz i ndeisceart na Portaingéile.

The little girl was almost four years old when she left the apartment where the family was staying and she has not been seen or reported since.

Bhí an gearrchaile beagnach ceithre bliana d'aois nuair a d'imigh sí as an árasán a raibh an teaghlach ag fanacht ann agus níl tásc ná tuairisc uirthi ó shin.

Christian Brueckner is currently serving a seven-year prison term in Germany for raping a 72-year-old American woman in Praia da Luz in 2005.

Tá téarma príosúin seacht mbliana á chur isteach ag Christian Brueckner sa Ghearmáin faoi láthair as bean Mheiriceánach 72 bliain a éigniú in Praia da Luz in 2005.

Although he was questioned about the Madeline McCann case, he denied that he had anything to do with her disappearance.

Cé gur ceistíodh é faoi chás Madeline McCann, shéan sé nach raibh aon bhaint aige lena himeacht.

A change of tune at the IABA and sending young boxers to fight.

Athrú poirt ag an IABA agus dornálaithe óga á gcur chun troda.

The Irish Boxing Association, the IABA, have confirmed that they are going to backtrack on a decision they announced yesterday, and that they will now be sending a team to the World Under-18 Championship in Spain next month .

Tá sé deimhnithe ag Cumann Dornálaíochta na hÉireann, an IABA, go bhfuil siad le ghabháil siar ar chinneadh a d'fhógair siad arú inné, agus go mbeidh siad anois ag cur foireann chuig Craobh Faoi Ocht mBliana Déag an Domhain sa Spáinn an mhí seo chugainn.

When the boxers gathered for a team training session at the IABA high performance center in Dublin 10 days ago, they were told that a reduced team of twelve or so would be sent to Spain in an effort to reduce costs, but when the boxers returned to training last Saturday, they were told that no team at all would be sent to Spain.

Nuair a chruinnigh na dornálaithe do sheisiún traenála foirne in ionad ardfheidhmíochta an IABA i mBaile Átha Cliath 10 lá ó shin, dúradh leo gur foireann laghadaithe, dáréag nó mar sin a bheithfí ag cur chun na Spáinne, i n-iarrachtaí costas a laghdú, ach nuair a d'fhill na dornálaithe don traenáil Dé Sathairn seo caite, dúradh leo nach mbeadh aon fhoireann chor ar bith á chur chun na Spáinne.

The young boxers were told that due to a decision made by the High Council of the Organization to boycott the games, a team would not travel.

Dúradh leis na dornálaithe óga gur de bharr cinneadh a rinne Ard Chomhairle na hEagraíochta boycott a chur ar na cluichí, nach mbeadh foireann ag taisteal.

The boycott was said to be related to a decision made by the head of the world organization, the IBA, to allow a team from Russia and Belarus to participate in the competition at the World Championship.

Bhain an boycott dúradh le cinneadh a rinne an ceann eagraíocht dhomhanda, an IBA, cead a thabhairt d'fhoireann ón Rúis agus ón mBealarúis páirt a ghlacadh san iomaíocht ag Craobh an Domhain.

The boxers were heartbroken and their friends and parents organized an online petition campaign, and on social media, to try to convince the authorities to change their decision.

Bhí na dornálaithe croíbhriste agus d'eagraigh cairde agus tuismitheoirí leo feachtas achainí ar líne, agus ar na meáin shóisialta, féachaint a chur ina luí ar na húdaráis a gcinneadh a athrú.

The President of the Boxing Association of Ireland Gerry O'Mahony confirmed to Nuacht RTE/TG4 this evening that it is now possible to send twelve to Spain, because the Spanish Government has refused travel permission to the teams from Russia and Belarus.

Dheimhnigh Uachtarán Chumann Dornálaíochta na hÉireann Gerry O'Mahony do Nuacht RTE/TG4 tráthnóna go bhfuil fúthú anois dáréag a chur chun na Spáinne, de bharr go bhfuil Rialtas na Spáinne i ndiaidh cead taistil a dhiúltú do na foirne as an Rúis agus an Bhealarúis.

He strongly denied that efforts to save money had anything to do with the IABA's decision to announce a boycott of the world games yesterday.

Shéan sé go láidir go raibh aon bhaint ag iarrachtaí airgead a shábáil le cinneadh an IABA boycott a fhógairt ar na cluichí domhanda arú inné.

"Difficult days ahead".

"Laethanta deacra romhainn".

The community of Craoslaigh in Donegal is still trying to make sense of the disastrous incident that happened there on Friday afternoon, when ten people were killed in an explosion, which damaged an Applegreen fuel station and a nearby block of flats.

Tá pobal an Chraoslaigh i nDún na nGall fós ag iarraidh ciall a bhaint as an eachtra thubaisteach a tharla ansin iarnóin Dé hAoine, nuair a maraíodh deichniúr i bpléascadh, a loit stáisiún breosla Applegreen agus bloc árasán in aice láimhe.

The dead were from Craoslach and the surrounding area: a girl of primary school age, two teenagers, four men and three women.

B'as an Chraoslach agus an ceantar máguaird do na mairbh: cáilín in aois bhunscoile, beirt déagóirí, ceathrar fear agus triúr ban.

Letterkenny Rugby Club fans have paid tribute to one of their members, Leona Harper, who was killed in the explosion.

Tá lucht Chlub Rugbaí Leitir Ceanainn i ndiaidh a n-ómós a léiriú do dhuine dá mbaill, Leona Harper, a maraíodh sa phléascadh.

She played on the under fourteen girls team.

D'imríodh sí ar fhoireann na gcailíní faoi cheithre bliana déag d'aois.

"She was a talented player, who was a close part of our team", they said.

"Imreoir cumasach a bhí inti, a bhí mar dhlúthchuid dár bhfoireann", a dúirt siad.

And they expressed their condolences to her parents and siblings.

Agus chuir siad a gcomhbhrón in iúl dá tuismitheoirí agus dá deartháireacha.

Eight people are still in hospital and being treated.

Tá ochtar fós san ospidéal agus cóir leighis á cur orthu.

Gardai are still unsure what caused the explosion and are still investigating.

Níl na Gardaí cinnte go fóill céard ba chúis leis an bpléascadh agus tá fiosraithe fós ar bun acu.

But they say it looks like it was a tragic accident.

Ach deir siad go bhfuil gach cuma ar an scéal gur timpiste thragóideach a bhí ann.

A major search and rescue operation began on Friday afternoon, involving emergency services from both sides of the border.

Cuireadh tús iarnóin Dé hAoine le hoibríocht mhór cuardaigh agus tarrthála, go raibh seirbhísí eigeandála ón dá thaobh den teorainn páirteach ann.

Many local people also took part in the search, of their own accord.

Ghlac go leor daoine áitiúla páirt sa gcuardach freisin, as a ndeoin féin.

The operation continued overnight on Friday and yesterday.

Leanadh den oibríocht thar oíche Dé hAoine agus inné.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar and Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald were among those who attended a ceremony in memory of the dead yesterday.

Bhí an Taoiseach Micheál Martin, an Tánaiste Leo Varadkar agus Uachtarán Shinn Féin, Mary Lou McDonald i measc na ndaoine a d'fhreastail ar shearmanas i gcuimhne na marbh inné.

Ten candles were lit in honor of the ten people who were lost.

Lasadh deich gcoinnle in ómós don deicnniúr a cailleadh.

They will be shipped for the next seven days.

Beidh siad lasta go ceann seacht lá.

"Our hearts are broken", said the parish priest, Father John Joe Duffy.

"Tá ár gcroí briste", a dúirt an sagairt paróiste, an tAthair John Joe Duffy.

"We still don't believe that this incident actually happened.

"Ní chreideann muid go fóill gur tharla an eachtra seo, i ndáiríre.

Difficult days are ahead.

Tá laethanta deacra romhainn.

But it is not enough to put together and we are a strong community, which stands closely together."

Ach ní neart go cur le chéile agus is pobal láidir muid, a sheasann go dlúth lena chéile."

The emphasis on the energy crisis at a summit in Prague.

An bhéim ar an ngéarchéim fuinnimh ag cruinniú mullaigh i bPrág.

The Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, has said that the European Union will take a coordinated approach to tackle the energy crisis.

Tá sé ráite ag an Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, go nglacfaidh an tAontas Eorpach cur chuige comhordaithe chun dul i ngleic leis an ngéarchéim fuinnimh.

But it will take some time, he said, before there is agreement between all the member states regarding the steps that should be taken.

Ach tógfaidh sé tamall, a dúirt sé, sula mbeidh aontú idir na ballstáit go léir maidir leis na céimmeanna ba chóir a ghlacadh.

The Taoiseach is currently in Prague, attending a summit of European leaders.

Tá an Taoiseach i bhPrág faoi láthair, ag freastal ar chruinniú mullaigh na gceannairí Eorpacha.

The main focus during that meeting is on gas prices, which have been rising ever since the Russians began their invasion of Ukraine.

Táthar ag díriú den chuid is mó le linn an chruinnithe sin ar phraghsanna gáis, atá ag ardú de shíor ó chuir na Rúisigh tús lena n-ionradh ar an Úcráin.

The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, is to discuss proposals for a price cap on gas with the leaders today.

Tá Uachtarán an Choimisiúin Eorpaigh, Ursula von der Leyen, le moltaí maidir le caidhp phraghais a chur ar ghás a phlé leis na ceannairí inniu.
