Concerns in small towns in the Muskerry Gaeltacht about speeding cars.

Imní i mbailte beaga i nGaeltacht Mhúscraí faoi ró-luas carranna.

Concerns have been expressed about the speed limit being regularly exceeded in certain villages in the Múscraí Gaeltacht in Co. Cork.

Tá imní léirithe faoin teorainn luais a bheith á sárú go rialta i sráidbhailte ar leith i nGaeltacht Mhúscraí i gCo Chorcaí.

In one case, a driver was clocked at 143 kilometres per hour in a small town where there is a 50 kilometres per hour speed limit.

I gcás amháin cláraíodh luas 143 ciliméadar san uair ag tiománaí ar bhaile beag ina bhfuil teorainn luais 50 ciliméadar san uair ann.

There is an urgent need to implement speed reduction measures immediately, says Gobnait Ní Mhuínneacháin, a Councillor for the area on Cork County Council.

Tá géarghá le bearta moillithe luais a chur i bhfeidhm láithreach a deir Gobnait Ní Mhuínneacháin, Comhairleoir sa gceantar ar Chomhairle Chontae Chorcaí.

She says that over 1,000 vehicles a day pass through the village of Reighleáin.

Deir sise go dtéann breis is 1,000 feithicil sa ló thrí shráidbhaile Reighleáin.

Gardaí have revealed that a driver was recorded doing 143 km/h in the town, almost 3 times the speed limit.

Tá sé tugtha le fios ag na Gardaí gur cláraíodh tiománaí ag déanamh 143 km/uair ar an mbaile, beagnach 3 oiread na luasteorann.

But concerns about speeding on the roads are troubling people across Muskerry.

Ach tá imní faoin ró-luas ar na bóithre ag cur as do dhaoine ar fud Mhúscraí.

There is also a big problem, people say, in Kilmhuire, and although there is a ramp on the road at the primary school, there are drivers who are said to not pay the slightest attention to the restriction on walking.

Tá fadhb mhór freisin adeir daoine i gCill Mhuire, agus cé go bhfuil rampa ar an mbóthar ag an mbunscoil, tá tiománaithe ann a deirtear nach dtugann aird dá laghad ar an srian ar an siúl.

According to a study of the village of Reighleán, 86% of vehicles are travelling at an average speed of 68 km/h, in an area where the speed limit is 50 km/h.

De réir staidéir ar shráidbhaile Reighleáin tá 86 faoin gcéad de na feithiclí ag taisteal ag luas 68 km/uair ar an meán, limistéar arbh é 50 km/uair an luasteorainn.

Marian O'Flaherty will have more about that story on Nuacht TG4 at 1900.

Beidh tuilleadh faoin scéal sin ag Marian O'Flaherty ar Nuacht TG4 ag 1900.

New reciprocal tariffs proposed by US President Trump.

Taraifí nua cómhalartacha molta ag Uachtarán Trump Mheirceá.

US President Trump's economic team has been working on a plan, under which Donald Trump intends to impose trade tariffs on all countries that impose taxes on goods they import from the United States.

Tá meitheal eacnamaithe Uachtarán Trump na Stát Aontaithe curtha i mbun oibre ar phlean, faoina bhfuil sé i gceist ag Donald Trump taraifí trádála a ghearradh ar gach tír a ghearrann táillí cánacha ar earraí a iomportálann siad féin ó na Stáit Aontaithe.

They would be reciprocal tariffs.

Taraifí cómhalartacha a bheadh iontu.

In light of these tariffs, there are growing concerns that it will become a global trade war.

I bhfianaise na dtaraifí seo, tá ag géarú ar an imní go mbeidh sé ina chogadh trádála ar fud an domhain.

"In the interest of leveling the playing field for all," President Trump told reporters, "I will be implementing reciprocal tariffs.

"Ar mhaithe le cothrom na féinne a thabhairt do chách", a dúirt an tUachtarán Trump le hiriseoirí, "cuirfidh mise taraifí cómhalartacha i bhfeidhm.

"If countries impose tariffs on US products, we will impose tariffs on their products."

Má ghearrann tíortha taraifí ar tháirgí de chuid na Stát Aontaithe, gearrfaidh muidne taraifí ar a dtáirgí siúd."

President Trump has not announced any new tariffs at this time; what is currently happening is that White House economists are investigating the fees, taxes, and tariffs that other countries impose on US goods.

Níl taraifí nua fógartha ag an Uachtarán Trumpum an dtaca seo; 'sé atá i gceist i láthair na huaire ná go bhfuil lucht eacnamaíochta an Tí Bháin curtha i mbun fiosraithe ar na táillí, cánacha agus taraifí a ghearrann tíortha eile ar earraí de chuid na Stát Aontaithe.

Wall Streeters have already expressed concerns that new tariffs will increase the inflation rate in the United States.

Tá imní léirithe cheana ag lucht Wall Street go gcuirfidh taraifí nua leis an ráta boilscithe sna Stáit Aontaithe.

Concerns have been expressed that the European Union, China, Japan and South Korea would be the countries most likely to be hit with these new tariffs on their products.

Tá imní léirithe gurb iad an tAontas Eorpach, an tSín, an tSeapáin agus an Chóire Theas na tíortha is mó a ngearrfaí na taraifí nua seo ar a gcuid táirgí.

This review of other countries' tariffs will be completed by the beginning of April.

Tiocfaidh an t-athbhreithniú seo ar tharaifí tíortha eile chun críche faoi thús mhí Aibreáin.

Israel has withdrawn from a road that split Gaza in two.

Iosrael tarraingte siar ó bhóthar a scoilt Gaza ina dhá chuid.

The Israeli army has withdrawn its soldiers from a road that was cutting the Gaza Strip in two, a Hamas official says.

Tá a gcuid saighdiúirí tarraingthe siar ag arm Iosrael ó bhealach a bhí ag gearradh stráice Gaza ina dhá chuid, a deir oifigeach de chuid Hamas.

According to a senior Hamas spokesman, the Israeli army was to have withdrawn from the Netzarim area according to the terms of the agreement reached on January 19.

De réir urlabhraí sinsearach Hamas, bhí arm Iosrael le bheith imithe as ceantar Netzarim de réir dhálaí an chomhaontaithe a rinneadh ar an 19 Eanáir.

A spokesman for the Hamas-led interior ministry said that "Israeli forces have dismantled their military bases and completely withdrawn all their soldiers from the Netzarim Corridor on the Salaheddin road, allowing vehicles to travel unhindered in both directions."

Dúirt urlabhraí ón roinn gnóthaí baile atá faoi cheannas Hamas go bhfuil "Tá a gcuid bunáiteanna míleata bainte as a chéile ag fórsaí Iosrael agus a gcuid saighdiúirí uilig tarraingthe siar go hiomlán ó Chonair Netzarim ar bhóthar Salaheddin, rud a fhágann go bhfuil ar chumas feithiclí taisteal gan bhac sa dá threo."

All access points between the north and south of the strip are in the Netzarim area.

Is i gceantar Netzarim atá na pointí rochtana go léir idir tuaisceart agus deisceart an stráice.

A journalist from the AFP (Agence France Presse) news agency in the Netzarim area reported that there were no Israeli soldiers in the area this morning.

Thuairiscigh iriseoir ón áisíneachta nuachta AFP (Agence France Presse) atá i gceantar Netzarim, nach raibh saighdiúirí ar bith de chuid Iosrael sa cheantar ar maidin.

Journalists saw cars, buses, trucks and donkey carts traveling along the Salaheddin road across the Netzarim Corridor where the Israeli army previously had a checkpoint.

Chonaic iriseoirí carranna, busanna, trucail agus carranna asail ag taisteal bhóthar Salaheddin trasna Chonair Netzarim áit a mbíodh seicphointe ag arm Iosrael go dtí seo.

An Israeli security official, who did not wish to be named, said they were "preparing to implement the ceasefire arrangement in accordance with the guidelines of the political leadership."

Dúirt oifigeach slándála de chuid Iosrael, nár mhian leis go n-ainmeofaí é, go raibh siad "ag réiteach chun an socrú sosa cogaidh a chur i bhfeidhm de réir threoirlínte na ceannasaíochta polaitiúla."

America has imposed tariffs on China and vice versa.

Taraifí gearrtha ag Meiriceá ar an tSín agus a mhalairt go cruinn.

China has slapped tariffs on US goods in retaliation after US President Donald Trump imposed an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods.

Tá taraifí gearrtha ag an tSín ar earraí ó na Stáit Aontaithe mar bhuille ar an mbuille tar éis d'Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe Donald Trump taraifí breise de 10 faoin gcéad a ghearradh ar earraí ón tSín.

Donald Trump claims the tariffs are a punishment for the illegal drugs he says are being brought into the United States from China, particularly fentanyl.

Maíonn Donald Trump gur pionós atá sna taraifí as na drugaí mídhleathacha a deir sé a thugtar isteach sna Stáit Aontaithe ón tSín, go háirithe feantainil.

The measure was not received with goodwill and as soon as the Americans implemented the tariffs at midnight last night, the Chinese announced that they would impose a 15% duty on coal and liquefied natural gas from the United States and a 10% duty on crude oil, farm equipment and some vehicles from that country.

Ní i bpáirt mhaitheasa a glacadh leis an mbeart agus a thúisce a chuir na Meiriceánaigh na taraifí i bhfeidhm ag an meán oíche aréir, d'fhógair na Sínigh go ngearrfaidís féin dleacht de 15 faoin gcéad ar ghual agus ar ghás nádúrtha leachtaithe ó na Stáit Aontaithe agus dleacht de 10 faoin gcéad ar amhola, ar threalamh feirme agus ar roinnt feithiclí ón tír sin.

Those Chinese tariffs will come into effect next Monday.

Tiocfaidh feidhm le taraifí sin na Síneach Dé Luain seo chugainn.

In addition to the tariffs, the Chinese government announced that it was to launch an official investigation into the alleged online monopoly of Google, which is owned by the American company Alphabet.

Chomh maith leis na taraifí, d'fhógair Rialtas na Síne go raibh siad le fiosrúchán oifigiúil a bhunú faoin monaplacht ar líne a deirtear atá ag Google, ar leis an gcomhlacht Meiriceánach Alphabet é.

It was also announced that restrictions were to be placed on the future export of certain minerals from China, such as tungsten, tellurium, molybdenum, bismuth and indium.

Fógraíodh freisin go rabhthas le srianta a chur le mianraí áirithe a easpórtáil ón tSín feasta, mar atá, tungstan, teallúiriam, molaibdéineam, biosmat agus indiam.

These minerals are rare but are being exploited to develop clean energy.

Tá na mianraí sin tearc ach táthar taobh leo chun fuinneamh glan a fhorbairt.

Yesterday, Donald Trump announced that the 25% tariffs he was to impose on Mexico and Canada from today had been postponed for another month.

Inné, d'fhógair Donald Trump go raibh na taraifí de 25 faoin gcéad a bhí le gearradh aige ó inniu ar Mheicsiceo agus ar Cheanada, go raibh siad curtha ar athló aige go ceann míosa.

It was reported that he and the leaders of those two other countries reached an agreement on issues related to the borders between them.

Tuairiscíodh gur tháinig sé féin agus ceannairí an dá thír eile sin ar chomhaontú faoi cheisteanna a bhaineann leis na teorainneacha eatarthu.

It is reported today that Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are to speak later this week.

Tuairisicítear inniu go bhfuil Donald Trump agus Uachtaran na Síne Xi Jinping le labhairt le chéile níos deireanaí an tseachtain seo.

45,000 still waiting for electricity.

45,000 fós ag fanacht leis an gcumhacht aibhléise.

The Electricity Supply Board says that only up to 45,000 customers are now left to be reconnected to its network following storm Éowyn.

Deir Bord Soláthar an leictreachais nach bhfuil fágtha anois le ceangal ar ais ar a ghréasán i ndiaidh na stoirme Éowyn ach suas le 45,000 custaiméar.

He indicated that electrical power has now been restored to up to 723,000 households, farms and businesses.

Thug sé le fios go bhfuil an chumhacht aibhléise curtha ina ceart in athuair do suas 723,000 anois idir theaghlaigh,fheirmeacha agus ghnólachtaí.

He also says he is doing his best to restore power to the remaining areas that have now been without electricity for over a week.

Deir sé freisin go bhfuil sé ar a dhícheall ag iarraidh an chuid eile atá fágtha anois gan leictreachas le breis is seachtain a chur ina gceart.

'Engineers from Britain and other European Union countries are supporting the effort,' he says.

'Tá innealtóirí on Bhreatain agus tíortha eile ón Aontas Eorpach ag tacú leis an iarracht' a deir sé.

It is reported that up to 3,000 customers in Northern Ireland are still without electricity since the storm hit the island a week ago last Friday.

Tuairiscítear go bhfuil suas le 3,000 custaiméar i dTuaisceart Éireann d'uireasa na cumhachta aibhléise go fóill ó thug an stoirm ropadh faoin oileán seachtain ó Dé hAoine seo caite.

108,000 properties still without electrical power.

108,000 áitreabh gan cumhacht leictreach i gcónaí.

Around 108,000 homes are still without electricity, almost a week after Storm Éowyn, a powerful windstorm that caused devastation in many places, especially in the west and northwest, blew through.

Áirítear thart ar 108,000 áitreabh a bheith gan cumhacht leictreach i gcónaí, beagnach seachtain ó shéid Stoirm Éowyn, ollanfa gaoithe a rinne scrios in áiteanna go leor, go háirithe san iarthar agus san iarthuaisceart.

A total of 768,000 properties were left without power immediately after the storm last Friday morning but it is now restored to 80% of them, says the Electricity Supply Board.

768,000 áitreabh san iomlán a bhí fágtha gan chumhacht díreach i ndiaidh na stoirme ar maidin Dé hAoine seo caite ach tá sé ar ais anois ag 80 faoin gcéad díobh, a deir Bord Soáthair an Leictreachais.

Insurance companies have announced that they have made additional staff available to take telephone calls from affected people and process their claims for compensation live.

Tá sé tugtha le fios ag comhlachtaí árachais go bhfuil foireann bhreise curtha ar fáil acu le glacadh le glaonna teileafóin ó dhaoine atá thíos leis agus lena n-éilimh ar chúiteamh a phróiseáil go beo.

Storms are covered by insurance according to normal practice, and there is no need for concern from that perspective, said a spokesperson for the insurance companies.

Tá stoirmeacha faoi chumhdach árachais de réir gnáthnóis agus cleachtaidh, agus ní call ar bith le himní ón taobh sin de, a dúirt urlabhraí na gcomhlachtaí árachais.

The spokesperson also said that alternative accommodation can be provided for people whose homes were severely damaged by the storm.

Dúirt an t-urlabhraí freisin gur féidir malairt lóistín a chur ar fáil do dhaoine a ndearna an stoirm damáiste mór dá dtithe.

The Gardaí have warned the public about unscrupulous people who could prey on them in times of need, particularly people posing as tradesmen.

Tá fainic curtha ag na Gardaí ar an bpobal faoi dhaoine gan scrupall a d'fhéadfadh i dtír orthu in am an ghátair, go háirithe daoine a ligeann orthu féin gur ceardaithe iad.

People whose homes are in dire need of repair are advised not to let strangers rush them into the business or give them money in advance.

Daoine a bhfuil bail de dhíth go dóite ar a dtithe, comhairlítear dóibh gan ligean do strainséirí iad a dheifriú chuig an ngnó ná airgead a thabhairt dóibh roimh ré.

A public inquiry has been launched into the Omagh bombing.

Tús curtha le fiosrúchán poiblí faoi bhuamáil na hÓmaí.

A public inquiry into the murder of 29 people, including a woman who was expecting twins, in the Omagh bombing in Co. Tyrone in 1998 began this morning.

Cuireadh tús ar maidin inniu le fiosrúchán poiblí faoi dhúnmharú 29 duine, bean a bhí ag súil le cúpla ina measc, i mbuamáil na hÓmaí i gCo Thír Eoghain i 1998.

29 people were killed and 220 others injured when a car bomb left by the Real IRA exploded in the centre of Omagh on the evening of Saturday 15 August 1998.

Maraíodh an 29 agus gortaíodh 220 duine eile nuair a phléasc buama i ngluaisteán a bhí fághta ag an bhFíor-IRA i lár na hÓmaí tráthnóna Dé Sathairn an 15 Lúnasa 1998.

The public inquiry was established to determine whether there was an opportunity to prevent the massacre in advance.

Bunaíodh an fiosrúchán poiblí lena fháil amach an raibh deis ann roimh ré an sléacht a chosc.

In 2021, a judge at the High Court in Belfast said that it was highly likely that the security services could have prevented the bombing if they had acted properly in advance.

In 2021, dúirt breitheamh san Ardchúirt i mBéal Feirste gur róchosúil go bhféadfadh na seirbhísí slándála an bhuamáil a chosc dá ngníomhóidís mar ba cheart roimh ré.

Judge Mark Horner said the security services had important information about the activities of the Real IRA on both sides of the border before the attack.

Dúirt an Breitheamh Mark Horner go raibh eolas tábhachtach ag na seirbhísí slándála faoi ghníomhaíochtaí an Fhíor-IRA ar dhá thaobh na teorann roimh an ionsaí.

It is known that police intelligence in the North received a telephone call eleven days before the massacre from an unknown person claiming that there would be a bombing attack in Omagh on August 15th.

Tá a fhios go bhfuair lucht faisnéise na bpóilíní sa Tuaisceart glao teileafóin aon lá dhéag roimh an sléacht ó dhuine anaithnid a mhaígh go mbeadh ionsaí buamála san Ómaigh ar an 15 Lúnasa.

That person did not provide any information about when or where exactly the attack would occur.

Níor thug an duine sin aon eolas faoi cén t-am ná cén áit go baileach a dtarlódh an t-ionsaí.

However, intelligence sources did not forward any information to the local police in Omagh.

Níor chuir lucht faisnéise aon eolas ar aghaidh chuig na póilíní áitiúla san Ómaigh, áfach.

The public inquiry is taking place at the Sruthla Arts Centre in Omagh and is chaired by former senior civil servant Andrew Turnbull.

Is in Ionad Ealaíon na Sruthla san Ómaigh atá an fiosrúchán poiblí ar siúl agus is é an t-iar- státseirbhíseach sinsearach Andrew Turnbull an cathaoirleach.

To begin with, the relatives of the deceased are giving a personal account, one by one, of the lives of each of the 29.

Mar thús, tá cuntas pearsanta á thabhairt ó inniu ag gaolta na marbh, ina nduine agus ina nduine, ar shaol gach duine den 29.

They are also giving an account of how the killing affected them.

Tá cuntas á thabhairt acu freisin ar an gcaoi a ndeachaigh an marú i gcion orthu.

That part of the investigation is expected to last two weeks.

Ceaptar go mairfidh an chuid sin den fhiosrúchán coicís.

The people who were injured in the bombing will later give an account of what happened to them that day and since.

Na daoine a gortaíodh sa bhuamáil, tabharfaidh siadsan cuntas ina dhiaidh sin ar ar bhain dóibh féin an lá úd agus ó shin.

Emergency workers who went to the scene of the horror will later tell their own story again.

Oibrithe éigeandála a chuaigh chuig láthair an uafáis, inseoidh siad a scéal féin ina dhiaidh sin arís.

All statements are being livestreamed online.

Tá na ráitis ar fad á mbeoshruthú ar líne.

It is currently estimated that evidence will not be presented to the inquiry until early s...

245,000 homes across the country remain without electrical power.

245,000 áitreabh ar fud na tíre gan cumhacht leictreach i gcónaí.

Around 180,000 properties in the State are still without electrical power following Storm Éowyn which caused extensive damage across the country last Friday.

Tá thart ar 180,000 áitreabh sa Stát fós gan cumhacht leictreach i ndiaidh Stoirm Éowyn a rinne díobháil mhór ar fud na tíre Dé hAoine seo caite.

Cavan, Monaghan, Westmeath, Longford, Roscommon, Clare, Galway, Silesia and Donegal are the areas that continue to suffer the most, according to the Electricity Supply Board.

An Cabhán, Muineachán, an Iarmhí, an Longfort, Ros Comáin, an Clár, Gaillimh, Silgeach agus Dún na nGall, sin iad na ceantair is mó atá thíos leis i gcónaí, dar le Bord Soláthair an Leictreachais.

The company estimates that power will be restored in many of these areas by next Friday, but they say that other areas will remain without it for some time to come.

Measann an comhlacht go mbeidh an chumacht ar ais i gcuid mhór de na háiteanna sin faoin Aoine seo chugainn ach deir siad go mbeidh áiteanna eile fágtha dá huireasa go ceann tamaill eile.

It is estimated that 65,000 homes in the North are still without electrical power.

Meastar go bhfuil 65,000 áitreabh sa Tuaisceart fós gan cumhacht leictreach.

The fact that the Electricity Supply Board has asked electricity companies abroad to come to their aid is a testament to the great work that still needs to be done.

Léiriú ann féin ar an obair mhór atá le déanamh fós is ea gur iarr Bord Soláthair an Leictreachais ar chomhlachtaí leictreachais thar lear teacht i gcabhair orthu.

Teams from Austria and Finland have arrived in Ireland today to assist technicians in restoring power.

Tá meithleacha ón Ostair agus ón bhFionlainn tagtha go hÉirinn inniu le cuidiú le teicneoirí abhus an chumhacht a thabhairt ar ais.

More teams will be arriving from France and the Netherlands in the next few days.

Beidh tuilleadh meithleacha ag teacht ón bhFrainc agus ón Ísiltír as seo go ceann cúpla lá.

In addition to electrical power, approximately 74,000 households are still without water supply.

Chomh maith le cumhacht leictreach, tá thart ar 74,000 áitreabh gan soláthar uisce i gcónaí.

To make matters worse, Irish Water says that another 70,000 properties could soon lose their water supply.

Mar bharr ar an donas, deir Uisce Éireann go m'fhéidir go gcaillfeadh 70,000 áitreabh eile fós a soláthar uisce siúd go gairid.

These are homes, the company says, that receive water from reservoirs that are gradually drying up because they have not had electrical power since last Friday.

Áitribh iad sin, a deir an comhlacht, a fhaigheann uisce ó thaiscumair atá ag dísciú de réir a chéile mar nach bhfuil cumhacht leictreach acu ón Aoine seo caite.

The Government has established emergency hubs in sixteen counties across the State to provide relief to people whose needs are not being met following the storm.

Tá moil éigeandála bunaithe ag an Rialtas i sé chontae dhéag ar fud an Stáit le fóirithint a chur ar fáil do dhaoine nach bhfuil riar a riachtanais acu tar éis na stoirme.

Hot meals, broadband services and laundry facilities are being provided in the various centres.

Leithéidí béilí te, seirbhísí leathanbhanda agus áiseanna níocháin atá á gcur ar fáil sna hionaid éagsúla.

Cavan, Monaghan, Westmeath, Meath, Longford, Leitrim, Roscommon, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Sligo, Donegal, Laois, Offaly, Wicklow and Wexford are the counties in which the emergency hubs are based.

An Cabhán, Muineachán, an Iarmhí, an Mhí, an Longfort, Liatroim, Ros Comáin, Corcaigh, Luimneach, Gaillimh, Sligeach, Dún na nGall, Laois, Uíbh Fhailí, Cill Mhantáin agus Loch Garman, sin iad na contaetha a bhfuil na moil éigeandála bunaithe iontu.

Some problems still exist with rail services.

Fadhbanna áirithe fós le seirbhísí iarnróid.

'Many trains are now operating around the country following the storm' says Iarnród Éireann.

'Tá cuid mhaith de na traenacha ag feidhmiú mórthimpeall na tíre anois i ndiaidh na stoirme' a deir Iarnród Éireann.

'However, there is always a delay,' the company says.

'Tá an mhoill ann i gcónaí áfach' a deir an comhlacht.

In addition, there will be no service to or from Galway, Westport and Belfast stations until tomorrow.

Ina theannta sin ní bheidh aon seirbhís isteach ná amach as stáisiúin na Gaillimhe,Chathair na Mart agus Bhéal Feirste go dtí amárach.

Trees have fallen on the train tracks on which the DART operates in the east and services have been significantly delayed in Malahide and Ballinrobe in Dublin in particular.

Tá crainn titithe ar an ráille traenach ar a bhfeidhmíonn an DART san oirthear agus seirbhísí moillithe go suntasach i Mullach Íde agus Baile an Bhóthair i mBaile Átha Cliath go háirithe.

This also has implications for the service in and out of Rosslare in Wexford.

Tá impleachtaí aige seo freisin don tseirbhís isteach agus amach as Ros Láir i Loch Garman.
