Julian Assange's extradition to the United States approved.

Eiseachadadh Julian Assange chun na Stát Aontaithe ceadaithe.

The extradition of Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, to the United States for trial on criminal charges has been approved by UK Home Secretary Priti Patel.

Tá eiseachadadh Julian Assange, bunaitheoir WikiLeaks, chun na Stát Aontaithe chun gur féidir é a chur ar a thriail maidir le cúiseanna coiriúla, ceadaithe ag Rúnaí Baile na Ríochta Aontaithe, Priti Patel.

Authorities in the United States are pursuing Assange for 18 counts, including spying on leaked secret US military documents by WikiLeaks.

Tá na hÚdaráis sna Stáit Aontaihe sa tóir ar Assange maidir le 18 cúis, ina measc, cúis spiaireachta maidir le cáipéisí rúnda míleata de chuid na Stát Aontaithe a sceith WikiLeaks.

Judges in London ruled that his extradition would not be a violation of his human rights and that he would be treated fairly in the United States.

Chinn breithiúna i Londain nach sárú ar a chearta daonna a bheadh ann dá ndéanfaí é a eiseachadadh agus go gcaithfí go cóir leis sna Stáit Aontaithe.

Authorities in America have long wanted to extradite him in connection with documents leaked by Wikileaks in 2010 and 2011 that have endangered people as well as breaking the law, they say.

Tá na húdaráis i Meiriceá ag iarraidh é a eiseachadadh le fada an lá maidir le cáipéisí a sceith Wikileaks in 2010 agus 2011 agus ar cuireadh daoine i gcontúirt mar gheall air chomh maith leis an dlí a bhriseadh, a deir siad.

Supporters of Julian Assange say he is an anti-establishment hero and has been discriminated against because he exposed the injustices of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and say the prosecution is a political attack on journalism and freedom of speech.

Deir lucht tacaíochta Julian Assange gur laoch frithbhunaíochta atá ann agus gur déanadh leatrom a imirt air toisc gur nocht sé éagóracha a bhain le coimhlintí san Iaráic agus san Afganastáin agus deir siad gur ionsaí polaitiúil atá san ionchúiseamh ar iriseoireacht agus saoirse cainte.

Julian Assange's wife Stella Assange has said they are to appeal.

Tá sé ráite ag Stella Assange, bean chéile Julian Assange go bhfuil siad chun achomharc a dhéanamh.

Julian Assange has 14 days to appeal.

Tá 14 lá ag Julian Assange achomharc a dhéanamh.

EU happy with low number of checks if talks return.

AE sásta le líon íseal seiceálacha má fhilltear ar chomhráití.

The European Union will be prepared to accept as few checks and restrictions as possible if British Prime Minister Boris Johnson returns to talks on the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Beidh an tAontas Eorpach sásta glacadh leis an líon is lú seiceálacha agus srianta is féidir má fhilleann Príomhaire na Breataine Boris Johnson ar chainteanna faoi Phrótacal Thuaisceart Éireann.

That is what European Commission Vice-President and chief Brexit negotiator Maroš Šefčovič said today.

Sin a dúirt Leas-Uachtarán an Choimisiúin Eorpaigh agus príomh-idirbheartaí faoi chúrsaí Breatimeachta Maroš Šefčovič inniu.

He said that the European Union has a clear plan to tackle the problems with the Protocol, rather than the enormous uncertainty that would be created by UK legislation under which large sections of the Protocol are being sought to be trapped.

Dúirt sé go bhfuil plean soiléir ag an Aontas Eorpach chun dul i ngleic leis na fadhbanna a bhaineann leis an bPrótacal, seachas an éiginnteacht ollmhór a chothódh reachtaíocht na Ríochta Aontaithe faoina bhfuiltear ag iarraidh míreanna móra den Phrótacal a chaitheamh i dtraipéisí.

Last week, the British Government published controversial legislation on the Northern Protocol that they had promised for several weeks and indicated that they were going ahead with a Bill that would repeal some of the rules governing trade in the North.

An tseachtain seo caite, d'fhoilsigh Rialtas na Breataine reachtaíocht chonspóideach maidir le Prótacal an Tuaiscirt a bhí geallta acu le roinnt seachtainí agus thug siad le fios go raibh siad ag dul ar aghaidh le Bille a chuirfeadh ar neamhní cuid de na rialacha a bhaineann le cúrsaí trádála sa Tuaisceart.

Great concern expressed about patient safety at UHL Hospital.

Imní mhór léirithe faoi shábháilteacht othar in Ospidéal UHL.

The Health Information and Quality Authority has expressed serious concerns over patient safety at the University Hospital of Limerick and says they have major problems with overcrowding.

Tá imní mhór léirithe ag an Údarás um Fhaisnéis agus Cáilíocht Sláinte maidir le sábháilteacht othar in Ospidéal na hOllscoile Luimnigh agus fadhbanna móra le róphlódú ann a deir siad.

HIQA says the conditions at the hospital are deficient and inadequate to meet the needs of patients and as a result patient safety is now being compromised at the hospital in Limerick.

Deir HIQA go bhfuil na coinníollacha san ospidéal easnamach agus nach leor iad chun freastal ar riachtanais othar agus dá bharr sin go bhfuil sábháilteacht othar anois i gcontúirt san ospidéal i Luimneach.

The Authority today published a report on the hospital's Emergency Department following an unannounced inspection carried out there in March this year.

D'fhoilsigh an tÚdarás tuarascáil maidir le Rannóg Éigeandála an ospidéil inniu i ndiaidh cigireacht gan choinne a déanadh ann i Mí an Mhárta i mbliana.

The report states that the hospital has failed to comply with existing national standards for patient dignity, patient care and staffing levels.

Deirtear sa tuarascáil go bhfuil teipithe ar an ospidéal cloí leis na caighdeáin náisiúnta atá ann maidir le dínit othar, cúraim othar agus leibhéalacha foirne.

In addition, UHL is said to be only semi-compliant with guidelines for the effective management of services.

Anuas ar seo, deirtear nach bhfuil UHL ach leath- chomhlíontach maidir le treoirlínte i dtaca le bainistiú seirbhísí go héifeachtach.

The report states that inspectors were not convinced that the hospital had adequate policies in place to address a number of issues, including overcrowding, patient flow difficulties, inadequate nurse staffing levels and long waiting times in the Emergency Department.

Deirtear sa tuarascáil nach raibh cigirí ar a suaimhneas go raibh dóthain beartas in áit san ospidéal chun dul i ngleic le roinnt nithe, ina measc, róphlódú, deacrachtaí le sruth othar, leibhéalacha foirne altraí easnamhach agus amanta feithimh fada sa Rannóg Éigeandála.

The Health Information and Quality Authority says the policies in place at the hospital to date are not effective enough in managing patient safety.

Deir an tÚdarás um Fhaisnéis agus Cáilíocht Sláinte nach bhfuil na beartais atá i bhfeidhm san ospidéal go dtí seo éifeachtach a ndóthain chun sábháilteacht othar a bhainistiú.

29% of households struggling with energy bills.

29 faoin gcéad de líonta tí ag streachailt le billí fuinnimh.

29% of households in the State are struggling with energy costs, according to a new report from the Economic and Social Research Institute.

Áirítear 29 faoin gcéad de líonta tí sa Stát a bheith ag streachailt le costais fhuinnimh, de réir tuarascála nua ón Institiúid Taighde Eacnamaíochta agus Sóisialta.

These are households that spend more than 10% of their net income on energy, excluding petrol and diesel.

Líonta tí iad seo atá ag caitheamh níos mó ná 10 faoin gcéad dá nglanioncam ar fhuinneamh, seachas peitreal agus díosal.

Never before have so many households been recorded as being energy scarce.

Níor taifeadadh an oiread teaghlach a bheith i dtearc-chuid ó thaobh cúrsaí fuinnimh de riamh.

The highest percentage previously recorded was 23% in 1995.

23 faoin gcéad an céatadán ab airde a taifeadadh roimhe seo agus b'in sa bhliain 1995.

Over fifteen months - between January 2021 and April 2022 - the average household's energy costs have risen by € 21 a week.

In imeacht cúig mhí dhéag - idir Eanáir 2021 agus Aibreán 2022 - tháinig ardú €21 sa tseachtain ar chostais fhuinnimh an mheánteaghlaigh.

If petrol and diesel are included, it was an increase of almost € 39 a week.

Má chuirtear peitreal agus díosal san áireamh, ardú beagnach €39 sa tseachtain a bhí ann.

The report claims that the number of households struggling with energy costs could rise - in line with the current trend - to 43% a year.

Maítear sa tuarascáil go bhféadfadh líon na dteaghlach atá ag streachailt le costais fhuinnimh ardú - de réir na treochta atá ann faoi láthair - go 43 faoin gcéad amach sa bhliain.

As low-income earners are most recommended, the report recommends the introduction of policies to relieve them, such as raising social welfare payments and giving them a one-off sum.

Mar gheall gur daoine ar bheagán fáltais is mó atá thíos leis, moltar sa tuarascáil beartais a thabhairt isteach le fóirithint orthu, leithéidí íocaíochtaí leasa shóisialta a ardú agus suim airgid aon uaire a thabhairt dóibh.

It is said that such policies - aimed at the poorest in the State - would be better than reducing Value Added Tax or fuel duties, which would also benefit people who are well off.

Deirtear gurbh fhearr beartais den sórt seo - a bheadh dírithe ar na daoine is boichte sa Stát - ná leithéidí Cáin Bhreisluacha nó dleachtanna breosla a laghdú, ar bheartais iad a mbainfeadh daoine atá go maith as sochar astu chomh maith.

According to one of the report's authors, Dr Barra Roantree, not everyone can be helped and low - paid, rural households and the elderly must be given priority.

Dar le duine d'údair na tuarascála, an Dr Barra Roantree, nach féidir teacht i gcabhair ar gach dream agus go gcaithfear tús áite a thabhairt do dhaoine atá ar phá íseal, líonta tí faoin tuath agus do sheandaoine.

Speaking on RTÉ, Sinn Féin finance spokesman Pearse Doherty said the report made it clear that it was time for the Government to put in place an emergency budget to help those in need.

Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, dúirt urlabhraí airgeadais Shinn Féin Pearse Doherty go léiríonn an tuarascáil go follsach go bhfuil sé in am ag an Rialtas buiséad éigeandála a chur i gcion le cuidiú leis na daoine a bhfuil an drámh orthu.

Boris Johnson wins confidence resolution.

Rún muiníne buaite ag Boris Johnson.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has survived a vote of confidence.

Tá Príomhaire na Breataine, Boris Johnson, tagtha slán i ndiaidh vóta muiníne.

211 Conservative Party MPs voted in favor and 148 against.

Vótáil 211 Feisire Parlaiminte de chuid an Pháirtí Chaomhaigh ina fhábhar agus 148 ina choinne.

Boris Johnson was told yesterday that he would be destined for this vote, after 54 members of his own party wrote a letter demanding it.

Cuireadh in iúl do Boris Johnson inné go mbeadh an vóta seo i ndán dó, i ndiaidh do 54 feisire de chuid a pháirtí féin litir a scríobh á éileamh.

The decisive number of expressions of dissatisfaction that must be obtained in order to motivate such a ballot is 54.

Is é 54 an líon cinniúnach léirithe míshásachta go gcaithfear a fháil chun go spreagfar a leithéid de bhallóid.

Dissatisfaction within the party over Boris Johnson 's leadership was mounting, especially in the wake of the controversy surrounding pedestrians at 10 Downing Street during the pandemic.

Bhí ag géarú ar an míshásacht sa pháirtí maidir le ceannaireacht Boris Johnson, go háirithe i bhfianaise na conspóide a bhain le coisirí i 10 Sráid Downing le linn na paindéime.

Earlier, he urged his MEPs to vote for him, warning them that the Conservative Party might be expelled by the people if they continued fighting.

Níos tuisce, d'impigh sé ar a fheisirí vótáil ar a shon, ag tabhairt rabhaidh dóibh go mb'fhéidir go gcuirfeadh an pobal an ruaig ar an bPáirtí Caomhach dá leanfaidís den trodaíocht eatarthu féin.

Taoiseach backs fast new EU membership process.

An Taoiseach ag tacú le proiséas nua tapa ar bhallraíocht san AE.

The Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, said today that he is in favor of introducing a new process, under which countries will be able to achieve membership of the European Union quickly.

Dúirt an Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, inniu go bhfuil seisean i bhfábhar proiséas nua a thabhairt isteach, faoina mbeidh tíortha in ann ballraíocht san Aontas Eorpach a bhaint amach go gasta.

The Taoiseach was referring to Ukraine's application for membership when he made his remarks.

Ag tagairt d'iarratas ballraíochta na hÚcráine a bhí an Taoiseach nuair a rinne sé a chuid cainte.

The Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine for European Affairs was present today with the Taoiseach at the European party's Conference, of which Fianna Fáil is a member.

Bhí Leas-Phríomhaire na hÚcráine ar Chúrsaí Eorpacha i láthair inniu in éineacht leis an Taoiseach ag Comhdháil an pháirtí Eorpaigh, go bhfuil Fianna Fáil ina mball de.

Ukraine submitted an application to the European Union for membership on 28 February.

Chuir an Úcráin iarratas faoi bhráid an Aontais Eorpaigh chun ballraíocht a bhaint amach ann ar 28 de mhí Feabhra.

President Zelenskky of Ukraine called on the Union to immediately allow membership in this particular case.

D'iarr Uachtarán Zelenskky na hÚcráine ar an Aontas ballraíocht a cheadú láithreach sa gcás áirithe seo.

However, that has not yet happened.

Níl sé sin tarlaithe go fóill, áfach.

Ukraine is not even officially named as a candidate at this time.

Níl an Úcráin ainmnithe go hoifigiúil ina n-iarrthóirí, fiú, ag an tráth seo.

The French and Germans are quite skeptical about the rapid introduction of a special application process for Ukraine.

Tá na Francaigh agus na Gearmánaigh amhrasach go leor faoi phroiséas iarratais gasta a thabhairt isteach go speisialta don Úcráin.

Leaders of member states are to meet at the end of this month to discuss the issue further.

Tá ceannairí na mballstát le bualadh lena chéile ag deireadh na míosa seo chun tuilleadh plé a dhéanamh ar an gceist.

However, many countries are strongly supportive of their application, including Ireland.

Tá go leor tíortha ag tacú go láidir lena n-iarratas, áfach, Éirinn ina measc.

The Conference of the Alliance of European Democrats and Liberals (ALDE) - the European group of which Fianna Fáil is a member of the European Parliament - took place in Dublin today.

Bhí Comhdháil Chomhghuaillíocht Dhaonlathaigh agus Liobrálaigh na hEorpa (ALDE) - an grúpa Eorpach a bhfuil Fianna Fáil ina mbaill de i bPairlimint na hEorpa ar siúl i mBaile Átha Cliath inniu.

The event was attended by the Taoiseach, accompanied by the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine for European Affairs, Olga Stefanishyna.

D'fhreastail an Taoiseach ar an imeacht, in éineacht le Leas-Phríomhaire na hÚcráine ar Chúrsaí Eorpacha, Olga Stefanishyna.

"It is vital that the leaders of the European Union send a very strong message in June to the Ukrainian people that we stand by them," the Taoiseach said today.

"Tá sé ríthábhachtach go dtabharfaidh ceannairí an Aontais Eorpaigh teachtaireacht ana-láidir i mí an Mheithimh do mhuintir na hÚcráine go bhfuilimid ag seasamh leo", a dúirt an Taoiseach inniu.

Olga Stefanishyna thanked the Irish people for all their support.

Ghabh Olga Stefanishyna buíochas le muintir na hÉíreann as an tacaíocht ar fad.

"Accidental death of R116 helicopter crew".

"Bás tionóisceach a fuair criú héileacaptar an R116".

The accidental death of four members of the Coast Guard in Co Mayo five years ago, according to a coroner's committee in relation to their case on the night of 14 March 2017.

Bás tionóisceach a fuair ceathrar comhaltaí den Gharda Cósta i gCo Mhaigh Eo cúig bliana ó shin, de réir coiste cróinéara maidir lenar bhain dóibh oíche an 14 Márta 2017.

The four were killed when a rescue helicopter on their way from the R116 collided with Tor, a small island off the north coast of Mayo.

Maraíodh an ceathrar nuair a bhuail héileacaptar tarrthála an R116 a raibh siad ann, nuair a bhuail sé an Tor, oileán beag amach ó chósta thuaidh Mhaigh Eo.

The bodies of Captain Dara Fitzpatrick and Captain Mark Duffy were found at sea several days after the disaster but the bodies of the other two, Uncle Operator Paul Ormsby and Uncle Man Ciarán Smith, were never found.

Aimsíodh coirp an Chaptaen Dara Fitzpatrick agus an Chaptaen Mark Duffy san fharraige roinnt laethanta tar éis na tubaiste ach ní bhfuarthas riamh coirp na beirte eile, an tOibritheoir Unlais Paul Ormsby agus an Fear Unlais Ciarán Smith.

Eight jurors of the coroner's committee announced their verdict after making their case on the case for a short time yesterday afternoon and one and a half hours this morning.

D'fhógair ochtar giúróirí an choiste cróinéara a bhfíorasc tar éis dóibh a marana a dhéanamh ar an gcás ar feadh tamaill ghairid tráthnóna inné agus uair an chloig go leith ar maidin inniu.

The jury found that all four died accidentally.

Chinn an giúiré gur bás tionóisceach a fuair gach aon duine den cheathrar.

Paul Ormsby and Ciarán Smith were pronounced dead at another previous coroner's committee hearing.

Fógraíodh go hoifigiúil ag éisteacht eile den choiste cróinéara roimhe seo go raibh Paul Ormsby agus Ciarán Smith marbh.

The hearing also determined that Dara Fitzpatrick had drowned and that Mark Duffy 's death had been fatal.

Cinneadh ag an éisteacht úd freisin gurb amhlaidh a báthadh Dara Fitzpatrick agus gur gortuithe marfacha ba thrúig bháis do Mark Duffy.

The coroner's committee was told that the weather around the Bush had been contaminated just before the accident, that some of the aeronautical equipment in the rescue helicopter was faulty or defective, and that the helicopter may not have been put out at all that night. .

Dúradh ag an gcoiste cróinéara gur shalaigh an aimsir thart ar an Tor díreach roimh an tionóisc, go raibh cuid den trealamh aerloingseoireachta sa héileacaptar tarrthála lochtach nó easnamhach, agus go mb'fhéidir nár ghá an héileacaptar a chur amach ar chor ar bith an oíche úd.
