Russia has taken possession of four regions in Ukraine.

Seilbh glactha ag an Rúis ar cheithre réigiún san Úcráin.

The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, announced in Moscow today that Russia has taken possession of four regions in Ukraine.

D'fhógair Uachtarán na Rúise, Vladimir Putin, i Moscó inniu go bhfuil seilbh glactha ag an Rúis ar cheithre réigiún san Úcráin.

These regions represent 15% of the territory of Ukraine.

Is ionann na réigiúin sin agus 15 faoin gcéad de chríocha na hÚcráine.

The process of officially bringing the districts into the Russian Federation will begin in the coming days, President Putin said.

Cuirfear tús leis an bpróiséas chun na ceantair a thabhairt isteach i gCónaidhm na Rúise go hoifigiúil sna laethanta amach romhainn, a dúirt an tUachtarán Putin.

Referendums were held in Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Donetsk and Luhansk in which the communities were asked whether they would like to be part of Russia.

Bhí reifrinn ar siúl in Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Donetsk agus Luhansk inar cuireadh ceist ar na pobail iontu ar mhaith leo a bheith mar chuid den Rúis.

Putin said today that the communities in those regions had made a "clear choice" when they showed they preferred to be under Moscow's control.

Dúirt Putin inniu go raibh "rogha shoiléir" déanta ag na pobail sna réigiúin sin nuair a léirigh siad gurbh fhearr leo a bheith faoi smacht Mhoscó.

Cív and the West are very skeptical about the results of this referendum, however, because the communities in them were forced to vote for leaving Ukraine, they say.

Tá Cív agus an tIarthar go mór in amhras faoi thorthaí na reifreann seo, áfach, mar cuireadh iallach ar na pobail iontu vótáil ar son an Úcráin a fhágáil, a deir siad.

Meanwhile, at least 25 were killed in a bombing attack on civilian cars, which were being driven in a convoy in the Zaporizhzhia region.

Idir an dá linn, maraíodh 25, ar a laghad, in ionsaí buamála ar ghluaisteáin de chuid sibhialtach, a bhí á dtiomáint i gconbhua i réigiún Zaporizhzhia.

Cív is blaming Russia.

Tá Cív ag cur an mhilleáin ar an Rúis.

28 were also injured in the incident.

Gortaíodh 28 san eachtra freisin.

The regional governor of Zaporizhzhia, Oleksandr Starukh, said they were all civilians and were from the local area.

Dúirt gobharnóir réigiúnach Zaporizhzhia, Oleksandr Starukh, gur sibialtaigh a bhí iontu ar fad agus gurbh as an gceantar áitiúil dóibh.

Vladimir Rogov - that he is an official in Zaporizhzhia, appointed by the Kremlin - said that it was a terrorist incident, that Ukraine was responsible for it.

Dúirt Vladimir Rogov - gur oifigeach in Zaporizhzhia é, atá ceaptha ag an gCreimil - gur eachtra sceimhlitheoireachta a bhí ann, go raibh an Úcráin freagrach as.

However, Cív said Russian forces attacked a queue of people in cars trying to leave the region.

Dúirt Cív, áfach, go ndearna fórsaí de chuid na Rúise an t-ionsaí ar scuaine daoine i ngluaisteáin a bhí ag iarraidh an réigiún a fhágáil.

Vladimir Putin has threatened to use nuclear weapons to defend the four regions, if necessary, when they are invaded.

Tá bagairt déanta ag Vladimir Putin, go n- úsáidfidh sé airm núicléacha chun na ceithre réigiún a chosaint, más gá, nuair a bheas ionghabháil déanta orthu.

"The HSE should spend €657m on cyber security".

"Ba chóir don HSE €657m a chaitheamh ar chibirshlándáil".

It has been said in a report by the Comptroller and Auditor General that the Health Service Executive will have to spend €657 over the next seven years to improve the organisation's defense against cyber attacks.

Tá sé ráite i dtuarascáil de chuid an Ard-Reachtaire Cuntas agus Ciste go mbeidh ar Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte €657 a chaitheamh os seo go ceann seacht mbliana chun cosaint na heagraíochta i gcoinne cibirionsaithe a fheabhsú.

There was a very serious cyber attack on the HSE's systems last year.

Rinneadh cibirionsaí fíorthromchúiseach ar chórais an HSE anuraidh.

The Comptroller and Auditor General says that the state had to pay a large cost for that attack, but that it is not yet possible to accurately assess the long- term impact it will have on patient care.

Deir an tArd-Reachtaire Cuntas agus Ciste go raibh costas mór le híoc ag an stát as an ionsaí sin, ach nach féidir a meas go cruinn go fóill cén tionchar a bheas aige go fadthréimhseach ar chúram othar.

The HSE says that in the short term, the attack cost €100m.

Deir an HSE gur sa ngearrthréimhse, gur chosain an t-ionsaí €100m.

But in the long run, that cost could rise to over €500m.

Ach gur san fhadthréimhse, go bhféadfadh an costas sin ardú go os cionn €500m.

The Executive says that no cases have yet been brought against them by people whose private details have been stolen.

Deir an Fheidhmeannacht nach bhfuil aon chásanna tógtha ina gcoinne go fóill ag daoine ar goideadh a sonraí príobháideacha.

But they admit that the people involved in the breach have not yet been informed.

Ach admhaíonn siad nach bhfuil na daoine a raibh sárú i gceist leo curtha ar an eolas go fóill.

The Comptroller and Auditor General has recommended that the Executive should focus on communicating effectively with the people and other interested parties whose data was stolen in the attack.

Tá sé molta ag an Ard-Reachtaire Cuntas agus Ciste gur chóir don bhFeidhmeannacht díriú ar chumarsáid éifeachtach a dhéanamh leis na daoine agus leis na páirtithe leasmhara eile ar goideach a sonraí san ionsaí.

The Executive states that the Data Protection Commissioner has been informed that the HSE is to undertake a process to notify interested parties of privacy breaches.

Deir an Fheidhmeannacht go bhfuil an Coimisinéir Cosanta Sonraí curtha ar an eolas go bhfuil an HSE le tabhairt faoi phroiséas chun páirtithe leasmhara a chur ar an eolas faoi sháraithe príobháideachais.

"The conflict is worse now than it has ever been" - NATO.

"Tá an choimhlint níos measa anois ná mar a bhí sé riamh" - NATO.

NATO has said the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is now worse than at any time since the start of the war, given the Kremlin's illegal occupation of four regions in eastern Ukraine and Vladimir Putin's threats of nuclear weapons used to protect its "own borders".

Tá sé ráite ag NATO go bhfuil an choimhlint idir an Rúis agus an Úcráin níos measa anois ná mar a bhí sé riamh ó thús an chogaidh, i bhfianaise ionghabháil mhídhleathach na Creimile ar cheithre réigiún in oirthear na hÚcráine agus i bhfianaise bhagairtí Vladimir Putin airm núicléacha a úsáid chun a "theorainneacha féin" a chosaint.

NATO says Ukraine's Allies will have no fear of continuing their support for it, regardless of threats coming from Moscow.

Deir NATO nach mbeidh faitíos ar bith ar Chomhghuaillithe na hÚcráine leanacht lena dtacaíocht di, beag beann ar na bagairtí atá ag teacht ó Mhoscó.

"Vladimir Putin is bringing together hundreds of thousands of troops, propaganda has been heard from him regarding nuclear matters and to top it off, the illegal invasion was announced today", said NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg today.

"Tá na céadtá míle trúpa á dtabhairt le chéile ag Vladimir Putin, tá bolscaireacht le cloistéail uaidh maidir le cúrsaí núicléacha agus mar bharr ar an donas, fógraíodh an ionghabháil neamhdhleathach inniu", a dúirt Ard-Rúnaí NATO, Jens Stoltenberg inniu.

His comments came on the heels of Vladimir Putin's speech at the Kremlin, in which he said that the people of the four regions where referendums were held had made a "clear choice" and had shown that they preferred to be under Russian control.

Tháinig a chuid cainte sna sála ar óráid Vladimir Putin ag an gCreimil, inar dhúirt sé go raibh "rogha shoiléir" déanta ag muintir na gceithre réigiún ar reáchtáladh reifrinn iontu agus go raibh sé léirithe acu gurbh fhearr leo a bheith faoi smacht na Rúise.

Neither Cív nor the West accept the results of that referendum.

Ní ghlacann Cív ná an tIarthar le torthaí na reifreann sin.

They say they are an illusion.

Deir siad gur cur i gcéill atá iontu.

European Union energy ministers to meet today.

Airí fuinnimh an Aontais Eorpaigh le bualadh lena chéile inniu.

The European Union's energy ministers are to meet today to discuss the crisis in that sector.

Tá airí fuinnimh an Aontais Eorpaigh le bualadh lena chéile inniu chun plé a dhéanamh ar an ngéarchéim san earnáil sin.

They intend to vote on a windfall tax on the huge profits of future energy companies.

Tá sé i gceist acu vótáil ar cháin amhantair a ghearradh ar bhrábúis mhóra na gcomhlachtaí fuinnimh feasta.

A wind tax and a cap on prices are among the policies proposed in Brussels last week, with the aim of mitigating the large and sudden increase in the price of energy.

Tá cáin amhantair agus teorainn ar phraghsanna i measc na mbeartas a moladh sa mBruiséil an tseachtain seo caite, féachaint leis an ardú mór agus tobann atá tagtha ar phraghas fuinnimh a mhaolú.

There is a risk that Europe is facing an economic recession due to this crisis.

Tá baol ann go bhfuil cúlú eacnamaíochta i ndán don Eoraip de bharr na géarchéime seo.

Among the windfall taxes under discussion, it is proposed that any additional profits earned by fossil fuel companies during 2022 and 2023 would be taxed more than the profits they earned during other years.

I measc na gcánacha amhantair atá faoi chaibidil, moltar go ngearrfaí cáin sa mbreis ar aon bhrábús sa mbreis a bheas tuillte ag comhlachtaí breosla iontaise le linn 2022 agus 2023, i gcomparáid leis na brabúis a thuill siad le linn blianta eile.

It is also recommended that there be a mandatory 5% reduction in energy use during peak pricing periods.

Moltar freisin go mbeadh laghdú éigeantach 5 faoin gcéad ar úsáid fuinnimh le linn buaicthréimhsí praghsála.

Diplomats have expressed confidence that the energy ministers will vote for the wind taxes today.

Tá muinín léirithe ag taidhleoirí go vótálfaidh na hairí fuinnimh ar son na gcánacha amhantair inniu.

But that still leaves the issue of the price cap; a proposal that Germany is completely opposed to.

Ach fágann sin go fóill ceist na caidhpe praghais; moladh a bhfuil an Ghearmáin glan ina choinne.

Leaders from fifteen European Union countries - including France, Italy and Poland - called on Brussels this week to propose a cap on wholesale gas prices to tackle rising inflation. .

D'iarr ceannairí ó chúig thír déag san Aontas Eorpach - An Fhrainc, an Iodáil agus an Pholainn ina measc - ar an mBruiséil an tseachtain seo teorainn ar phraghsanna mórdíola gáis a mholadh chun dul i ngleic leis an ráta boilscithe, atá ag méadú de shíor.

But the governments in Germany and Iceland say that countries in the European Union would have difficulties attracting suppliers, if there was a limit on the price they can pay.

Ach deir na rialtais sa nGearmáin agus san Ísletír go mbeadh deacrachtaí ag tíortha san Aontas Eorpach soláthróirí a mhealladh, dá mbeadh teorainn ar an bpraghas gur féidir leo a íoc.

Budget 2023 to be announced in the Dáil this afternoon.

Buiséad 2023 le fógairt sa Dáil san iarnóin inniu.

Later today the Government will officially announce the 2023 Budget.

Níos deireanaí inniu fógróidh an Rialtas go hoifigiúil Buiséad 2023.

The budget was finalized last night which if true aims to significantly help the community cope with the dramatic rise in the cost of living.

Cuireadh bailchríoch aréir ar an gcáinaisnéis a bhfuil sé mar aidhm aige más fíor cabhrú go suntasach leis an bpobal dul i ngleic leis an ardú as cuimse sa chostas maireachtála.

For the first time ever it appears that more than half of the State's population will be entitled to have a doctor's visit card or a full medical card.

Don chéad uair riamh is cosúil go mbeidh breis is leath de dhaonra an Stáit i dteideal cárta cuairte dochtúra a bheith acu nó cárta leighis iomlán.

Given the arrangement made last night between the coalition parties, more than 430,000 people will have a doctor's visiting card.

I bhfianaise an tsocraithe a rinneadh aréir idir na páirtithe comhrialtais, beidh cárta cuairte dochtúra le fáil ag breis is 430,000 duine.

It is included that it is intended to spend up to €2bn on social protection policies.

Áirítear go bhfuil sé i gceist suas le €2bn a chaitheamh ar bheartais choimirce sóisialaí.

As part of the policy there will be a disability support grant of €500 and a payment of €500 for each carer.

Mar chuid den bheartas beidh deontas tacaíochta míchumais de €500 agus íocaíocht de €500 do gach aon chúramóir.

The monthly Home Care Allowance will be increased by €20.

Ardófar an Liúntas Cúram Baile míosúil €20.

The state pension and the weekly social welfare payment will also increase by €12.

Ardóidh freisin an pinsean stáit agus an íocaíocht leas sóisialach seachtainiúil €12.

It is also understood that the number of people to whom the Fuel Allowance will be paid will increase.

Tuigtear freisin go méadófar an líon duine a n-íocfar an Liúntas Breosla leo.

Each family in the State has €600 to pay against the utility bill.

Tá €600 le fáil ag gach aon teaghlach sa Stát le cur in aghaidh an bhille aibhléise.

There will be 2 payment periods, one before and one after Christmas.

Beidh 2 ghála íocaíochta i gceist, ceann roimh agus tar éis na Nollag.
