Idir an dá linn, dhá lá tar éis do Stoirm Eunice an tír a bhualadh, tá na mílte teach fós gan leictreachas, a bhformhór sin i gCiarraí agus i gCorcaigh.

In all, the storm knocked out more than 80,000 homes and businesses from Thursday.

San iomlán, leag an stoirm an chumacht as os ionn 80,000 teach agus gnó ón Déardapoin.

NPHET recommends that masks are not needed almost everywhere.

Molta ag NPHET nach bhfuil gá le mascanna i mbeagnach gach áit.

The National Public Health Emergency Team or NPHET has agreed that wearing masks can be eliminated.

Tá sé aontaithe ag an bhFoireann Náisiúnta Eigeandála Sláinte Poiblí nó NPHET gur féidir deireadh a chur le mascanna a chaitheamh.

If the Government accepts this there will no longer be a need to wear masks in schools, on the public transport system, in taxis, in shops or in public offices.

Má ghlacann an Rialtas leis seo ní bheidh gá mascanna a chaitheamh níos mó i scoileanna, ar an gcóras iompair phoiblí, i dtacsaithe, i siopaí ná in oifigí poiblí.

People working in the hospitality sector will also not have to wear masks but will continue to do so in healthcare centers.

Ní bheidh ar dhaoine atá ag obair san earnáil failteachais mascanna a chaitheamh ach oiread ach leanfar leo in ionaid cúraim sláinte.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan suggested that NPHET should also be abolished and replaced by a small monitoring group.

Mhol an Príomh Oifigeach Leighis an Dochtúir Tony Holohan gur chóir deireadh a chur freisin le NPHET agus grúpa beag monatóireachta a bhunú ina háit.

Workers dealing with customers would no longer need to wear masks, for example in restaurants and pubs.

Ní bheadh gá a thuilleadh d'oibrithe a bhíonn ag deileáil le custaiméirí mascanna a chaitheamh, mar shampla i mbialanna agus i dtithe tábhairne.

However, masks will still be needed in healthcare settings and centers such as hospitals and nursing homes as outbreaks of Covid - 19 are still affecting some of these locations.

Beidh mascanna ag teastáil fós áfach i láithreacha agus in ionaid cúraim sláinte ar nós ospidéil agus i dtithe altranais toisc go bhfuil ráigeanna do Covid -19 fós ag cur isteach ar roinnt do na láithreacha seo.

The Chief Medical Officer, Dr Tony Holohan, will make these recommendations in the form of a letter to Government.

Tabharfaidh an Príomhoifigeach Leighis, an Dochtúir Tony Holohan na moltaí seo i bhfoirm litreach don Rialtas.

Earlier today, members of NPHET met and discussed the full state of Covid-19, vaccination issues and face cover rules.

Níos luaithe inniu, bhuail baill do NPHET le chéile agus pléadh staid iomlán covid 19, cúrsaí vacsaínithe agus rialacha maidir le cumhdach aghaidhe.

The Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Tony Holohan, recommended the abolition of NPHET and its replacement by a smaller monitoring group.

Mhol an Príomhoifigeach Leighis, an Dochtúir Tony Holohan go gcuirfí deireadh le NPHET agus go gcuirfí grúpa monatóireachta níos lú ina áit.

Last night, Taoiseach Micheál Martin told a meeting of the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party that there was a good chance that the National Public Health Emergency Team would differentiate between mandatory masking and public health advice.

Aréir, dúirt an Taoiseach, Micheál Martin le cruinniú do pháirtí parlaiminteach Fhianna Fáil go raibh seans maith ann go ndéanfaidh an Fhoireann Náisiúnta Éigeandála Sláinte Poiblí idirdhealú idir mascanna a chaitheamh ar bhonn éigeantach agus comhairle i dtaca le sláinte phoiblí.

Senior politicians in the coalition government say there is a positive attitude towards the virus' trend.

Deir Polaiteoirí sinsearacha sa chomhrialtas go bhfuil meon dearfach go maith ann i leith treocht an víris.

The Taoiseach said last night that the focus must now be on vaccination and that there may be an annual vaccination program.

Dúirt an Taoiseach aréir go gcaithfear díriú anois ar vacsaíniú agus go bhféadfadh sé go mbeadh clár vacsaínithe bliantúil ann.

A historic achievement for an Irish language film in Berlin, Germany.

Éacht stairiúil do scannán as Gaeilge i mBeirlín na Gearmáine.

The film 'An Cailín Ciúin' 'has won the award for Best Film at the' Berlinale 2022 'Berlin International Film Festival, a historic achievement for an Irish language film.

Tá an duais don Scannán is fearr ag Féile Scannánaíochta Idirnáisiúnta Bherlín 'Berlinale 2022' buaite ag an scannán 'An Cailín Ciúin'', éacht stairiúil do scannán as Gaeilge.

This is the first time that a feature film has been shown in Irish at the Berlin Film Festival.

Seo é an chéad uair riamh ar taispeáineadh scannán fada i nGaeilge ag Féile Scannánaíochta Bheirlín.

'The Silent Girl' tells the story of Kate, a 9 - year - old girl from an overcrowded and dysfunctional family who is sent away to live with foster parents for the summer.

Insíonn 'An Cailín Ciúin' scéal Cháit, cailín óg 9 mbliana d’aois ó theaghlach atá róphlódaithe agus mífheidhmiúil agus a chuirtear ar shiúl chun cónaí le tuismitheoirí altrama don samhradh í.

'The Silent Girl' is based on the acclaimed short story '' Foster '' by Clare Nic Aogáin, and is a complex, witty play about adulthood that explores family issues, neglect and nostalgia through the eyes of its young protagonist.

Tá ‘An Cailín Ciúin’ bunaithe ar an ghearrscéal ardmholta ''Foster'' le Clár Nic Aogáin, agus dráma casta, cigilteach is ea é faoi theacht in aois a dhéanann iniúchadh ar cheisteanna teaghlaigh, neamairt agus cumha trí shúile a phríomhcharachtair óig.

Speaking about the award, Colm Bairéad said: "It was a real honor to have our First Performance at the Berlinale this year next to so many great films as part of the Generation Kplus program.

Sé Colm Bairéad a stiúraigh an scannán agus é ag caint faoin duais dúirt sé: "Ba fíor-onóir é ár gCéad Taibhiú bheith againn ag an Berlinale i mbliana in aice leis an oiread sin scannán iontach mar chuid den chlár Generation Kplus.

The Grand Prix 's' An Cailín Ciúin' is a huge indication that TG4, Screen Ireland and the BAI have made the right decision in their vision for indigenous Irish language filmmaking and its potential for overseas.

Is léiriú ollmhór gur bhain 'An Cailín Ciúin' an Grand Prix go ndearna TG4, Screen Ireland agus an BAI an cinneadh ceart ina bhfís maidir le scannánaíocht dhúchasach as Gaeilge agus a hacmhainn le síniú amach thar lear.

It's a beautiful testament to the wonderful work of our crew and cast of actors, especially the lovely Caitríona Clinse, who was the light that guided us in making this film. "

Is mór an dea-theist álainn ar obair éachtach ár gcriú agus ár bhfoirne aisteoirí í, ar Chaitríona Clinse aoibhinn ach go háirithe, arbh í an solas í a threoraigh sinn trí dhéanamh an scannáin seo."

TG4 Director General Alan Esslemont said: "Congratulations to Cleona Ní Chrualaoi, Colm Bairéad and all the staff at Inscéal who worked on 'An Cailín Ciúin' for their excellent work and the great reception they received. the film from both viewers and critics.

Dúirt Ard-Stiúrthóir TG4, Alan Esslemont: "Comhghairdeas ó chroí le Cleona Ní Chrualaoi, Colm Bairéad agus leis an bhfoireann ar fad in Inscéal a d'oibrigh ar 'An Cailín Ciúin’ as a sár-obair agus as an bhfáiltiú iontach a fuair an scannán ón lucht féachana agus léirmheastóirí araon.

I would like to thank my own colleagues in TG4 and our partners in. And the BAI for their continued and pioneering commitment to Irish language film.

Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil le mo chomhghleacaithe féin i TG4 agus lenár gcomhpháirtithe i bhFís Éireann agus an BAI as a dtiomantas leanúnach agus ceannródaíoch don scannánaíocht Ghaeilge.

Dissatisfaction with wind farm near Guagan Barra.

Míshástacht faoi fheirm ghaoithe in aice le Guagán Barra.

People in the Múscraí Gaeltacht are looking at whether they can challenge a high court challenge against a proposed € 30m wind farm near Guagán Barra, County Cork, one of the country 's best known heritage sites.

Tá daoine i nGaeltacht Mhúscraí ag féachaint an féidir leo dúshlán ardchúirte a thabhairt i gcoinne fheirm ghaoithe, luach €30m atá á beartú in aice le Guagán Barra,ContaeChorcaí,ceann de na láithreacha oidhreachta is aitheanta sa tír.

Thousands of people a year from hill walking, tourism and pilgrimage crowds visit Guagan Barra in the west of the county.

Tugann na míllte duine sa bhliain idir shluaite cnocadóireachta, thurasóireachta agus oilithreachta cuairt ar Ghuagán Barra in iarthar an chontae.

An Bord Pleanála has approved the construction of 7 turbines 178.5 meters in height three kilometers from St. Finbarr's Oratory, the site of the 6th Century Hermitage.

Tá cead tugtha ag an Bhord Pleanála go dtógfaí 7 dtuirbín 178.5 méadar in airde trí chiliméadar ó Aireagal Naomh Fionnbarra, áit a raibh díseart an Naoimh sa 6ú hAois.

An Bord Pleanála allowed an appeal in favor of the development by 'Wingleaf Limited' despite the recommendation of their own Planning Inspector.

Cheadaigh an Bord Pleanála achomharc ar son na forbartha a rinne 'Wingleaf Teoranta' ainneoin gur mhol a gCigire Pleanála féin a mhalairt.

Cork County Council rejected the application last year.

Dhiúltaigh Comhairle Contae Chorcaí don iarratas arú anuraidh.

In its decision, An Bord Pleanála stated that its advantages outweighed its disadvantages.

Ina chinneadh, dúirt an Bord Pleanála go mba threise a mbuntáistí ná a míbhuntaistí.

7,600 people have signed a petition against the development started by Ballingeary Development Company.

Tá achainí i gcoinne na forbartha a thosaigh Comhlacht Forbartha Bhéal Átha an Ghaorthaidh sínithe ag 7,600+ duine.

In its decision, An Bord Pleanála did not agree with the idea that the development would interfere with heritage, poultry or tourism.

Ina chinneadh, níor aontaigh an Bord Pleanála leis an smaointeoireacht go gcuirfeadh an fhorbairt isteach ar oidhreacht, éanlaith nó turasóireacht.

They said it would contribute to the State's strategy for renewable energy.

Dúirt siad go gcuirfeadh sí le straitéis an Stáit maidir le fuinnimh inathnuaite.

The State wants 80% of our electricity to come from renewable sources by 2030.

Is mian leis an Stát go dtiocfaidh 80 faoin gcéad dár leictreachas ó fhoinsí inathnuaite faoin bhliain 2030.

Wingleaf Limited has 10 years to build the 622 hectare wind farm.

Tá 10 mbliana ag 'Wingleaf Teoranta' leis an fheirm ghaoithe a thógáil ar shuíomh 622 heicteár.

The company already claims that up to 70 jobs could be created during the 18 - month construction.

Maíonn an comhlacht cheana go bhféadfaí suas le 70 post a chruthú le linn na tógála a mhairfeadh 18 mí.

It was also stated that a community fund of € 1.8m would be provided over 30 years - the life of the project.

Luadh freisin go gcuirfí ciste pobail, luach €1.8m ar fáil thar 30 bliain – saolré an togra.

In a debate on the issue in the Dáil, Minister of State Peter Burke said he is barred by law from putting his toe in the story.

I bplé a rinneadh ar an cheist sa Dáil, dúirt an tAire Stáit Peter Burke go bhfuil cosc air faoin dlí a ladhar a chur sa scéal.

'You can't find another Gogan but you can find other places for wind farms,' said Deputy Andrew Monaghan.

'Ní féidir teacht ar Ghuagán eile ach is féidir teacht ar áiteanna eile i gcomhair fheirmeacha gaoithe,

Withdrawal of temporary cycle lane for Strand Road.

An lána rothaíochta sealadach do Bhóthar na Trá tarraingte siar.

Last night Galway City Council withdrew its plans to build a temporary cycle lane in the Strand Road area of Galway.

Tharraing Comhairle Cathrach na Gaillimhe siar aréir na pleananna a bhí acu le lána rothaíochta sealadach a thógáil i gceantar Bhóthar na Trá i nGaillimh.

Councilors voted to overturn the policy when businessmen, residents and emergency services expressed their concerns.

Vótáil na comhairleoirí an beartas a chur ar ceal nuair a léirigh lucht gnó, áitritheoirí agus seirbhísí éigeandála a n-imní faoi.

Of the 17 councilors, only four were in favor of this 3 - kilometer lane along the Promenade when the vote came after 4 hours of debate.

As na 17 comhairleoirí, ní raibh ach ceathrar díobh ar son an lána 3 chíliméadar seo feadh an Promenade nuair a tháinig an vóta i ndiaidh 4 uair a' chloig díospóireachta.

A report was presented to Councilors on the results of the recent public consultation, which contained 7,000 submissions.

Cuireadh tuarascáil faoi bhráid na gComhairleoirí maidir le torthaí an chomhairliúcháin phoiblí a rinneadh le déanaí, ina raibh 7,000 aighneacht ina leith.

60% of these were against the 2 routes outlined.

Bhí 60 faoin gcéad díobh sin i gcoinne an 2 bhealach a bhí leagtha amach.

Bishop of Clonfert appointed Bishop of Galway.

Easpag Chluain Fearta ceaptha mar Easpag ar Ghaillimh.

The Catholic Bishop of Clonfert, Michael Duignan, has now been appointed Bishop of Galway.

Is é Easpag Caitliceach Chluain Fearta, Michael Duignan atá ceaptha anois mar Easpag ar Ghaillimh.

The announcement was made in Galway Cathedral this morning when Mass was read and the main celebrant was Pope Nuncio Jude Okolo.

Rinneadh an fógra in Ard-Eaglais na Gaillimhe ar maidin nuair a léadh Aifreann agus ba é Nuncio an Phápa,Jude Okolo, an príomh- cheiliúraí.

The future of Clonfert and the Diocese of Galway - Kilmacdow as well as the Apostolic Administration of Kilfenora will be the responsibility for the future.

Beidh cúraimí Chluain Fearta agus Dheoise na Gaillimhe-Chill Mhic Dhuach chomh maith le Riaradh Aspalda Chill Fhionnúrach ar an Easpa Duignan feasta.

Bishop Michael Duignan, 51, is a native of Athlone.

51 bliain d'aois atá an tEaspag Michael Duignan, as Áth Luain ó dhúchas.

He succeeds Bishop who has resigned from Brendan Kelly.

Tagann sé i gcomharbacht ar an Easpag Breandán Ó Ceallaigh (Brendan Kelly) atá éirithe as a chuid cúraimí.

Bishop Kelly, now 75, was also at the altar in the cathedral this morning.

Bhí an tEaspag Ó Ceallaigh, atá 75 anois é féin freisin ar an altóir san ardeaglais ar maidin.

In an address given by Bishop Duignan, he thanked Pope Francis 'for the confidence he has shown in me in carrying out these additional tasks'.

In aitheasc a thug an tEaspag Duignan,ghabh sé buíochas leis an bPápa Proinsias 'as an muinín atá léirithe aige ionam na cúraimí breise seo a chomhlíonadh'.

He also said that he was very interested in Irish and that he would ask people with Irish in his dioceses to help him with the language.

Dúirt sé freisin go raibh suim mhór aige i gcúrsaí Gaeilge agus go mbeadh sé ag iarraidh ar dhaoine le Gaeilge sna deoisí atá aige chuile chúnamh a thabhairt dó leis an teanga.

This is the first time that 2 major Catholic dioceses on the island of Ireland have come together under one bishop.

Is í seo an chéad uair riamh a bhfuil 2 mhórdheoise Chaitliceach ar oileán na hÉireann tagtha le chéile faoi aon easpag amháin.

However, the Vatican says that it is not an amalgamation, and that neither diocese will lose whatever independence it already has.

Deir an Vatacáin áfach nach aon chomhnascadh atá i gceist, agus nach gcaillfidh ceachtar deoise pé neamhspleáchas atá aici cheana féin.

There are currently 26 dioceses on the island for the Catholic community of 4.5m people.

26 deoise atá ar an oileán faoi láthair don phobal Caitliceach de 4.5m duine.
