"Let's seize the opportunity to include it in all our lives" The President.

"Tapaímis an deis í a chuimsiú inár saol go léir" An tUachtarán.

The relaxation of the status of the Irish language in the European Institutions ended at midnight.

Cuireadh deireadh ag meánoíche leis an maolú a bhí i bhfeidhm ar stádas na Gaeilge sna hInstitiúidí Eorpacha.

Irish is now on an equal footing with other official languages of the European Union.

Tá an Ghaeilge ar chomhchéim le teangacha oifigiúla eile an Aontais Eorpaigh feasta.

The President of Ireland, Michael D Higgins was among those to welcome and congratulate those who have worked to achieve this achievement.

Bhí Uachtarán na hÉireann, Micheál D Ó hUiginn ina measc siúd le fáilte a chur roimh, agus a rinne comhtháirdeas leo siúd a rinne an obair leis an éacht seo a bhaint amach.

The following is his full statement.

Seo a leanas a ráiteas iomlán.

"On this special historic occasion I congratulate those who work with and through the Irish language in the European Union and at home.

"Ar an ócáid stairiúil speisialta seo déanaim comhghairdeas leo siúd atá ag obair leis an nGaeilge agus trí mheán na Gaeilge san Aontas Eorpach agus sa bhaile.

Today is a significant day for the language, as it achieves full status in the European Union and the decline of the Irish language has come to an end.

Is lá suntasach atá ann inniu don teanga, agus lánstádas á bhaint amach aici san Aontas Eorpach agus deireadh tagtha le maolú na Gaeilge.

This full status is an important recognition at national level of our unique identity as a community, with a distinct language that we use alongside the other languages that we use and respect.

Is aitheantas tábhachtach ar an leibhéal náisiúnta dár bhféiniúlacht ar leith mar phobal atá sa lánstádas sin, agus teanga ar leith againn a mbainimid úsáid as taobh leis na teangacha eile a mbainimid úsáid astu agus a bhfuil meas againn orthu.

It puts our language on an equal footing with those of the Union's founders, and with the Member States that joined the Union in recent years.

Cuireann sé ár dteanga ar chomhchéim leo siúd de bhunaitheoirí an Aontais, agus leis na Ballstáit a tháinig isteach san Aontas sna blianta ó shin.

It is a significant achievement and many people will be pleased to know that the Irish language will be used every day in the European Union.

Is éacht shuntasach atá ann agus beidh sásamh le baint ag daoine go leor as fios a bheith acu go mbeidh an Ghaeilge in úsáid gach lá san Aontas Eorpach.

Although the Irish language will be used on a daily basis in the EU, we must seize the opportunity and take responsibility for ensuring that it makes sense in our own lives.

Cé go mbeidh an Ghaeilge in úsáid go laethúil san AE, ní mór dúinn an deis a thapú agus freagracht a ghlacadh lena chinntiú go bhfuil ciall léi inár saol féin.

At the heart of everyday European affairs; at the heart of life at Home.

I gcroílár gnóthaí laethúla na hEorpa; i gcroílár an tsaoil sa Bhaile.

In addition to the Official Languages (Amendment) Bill, which I signed shortly before Christmas, I urge people throughout Ireland to take this opportunity to renew their own relationship with the language, a language that is a vital part of our -herit her.

Chomh maith le Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), a chuir mé faoi mo lámh go gairid roimh an Nollaig, impím ar dhaoine ar fud na hÉireann an deis seo a thapú a gcaidreamh féin leis an teanga a athnuachan, teanga ar cuid ríthábhachtach dár n-oidhreacht í.

Sure, we need to learn the languages of our friends in Europe and use as many of their languages as possible, but the use of our own language is of paramount i...

Full status for the Irish language in the EU from tomorrow onwards.

Stádas iomlán don Ghaeilge san AE ó amárach ar aghaidh.

The relaxation of the status of the Irish language in the European Institutions will end at midnight.

Cuirfear deireadh ag meánoíche leis an maolú a bhí i bhfeidhm ar stádas na Gaeilge sna hInstitiúidí Eorpacha.

Irish will be on an equal footing with other official languages of the European Union in future.

Beidh an Ghaeilge ar chomhchéim le teangacha oifigiúla eile an Aontais Eorpaigh feasta.

Official and working status for the Irish language was given on 1 January 2007 but a relaxation arrangement has been in place since then, due to the shortage of translation staff, which restricted the amount of material translated into Irish.

Is ar an 1ú Eanáir 2007 a tugadh stádas oifigiúil agus oibre don Ghaeilge ach bhí socrú maolaithe i bhfeidhm ó shin i leith, mar gheall ar an nganntanas foirne aistriúcháin, a chuir srian ar an méid ábhair a haistríodh go Gaeilge.

The Minister of State for the Gaeltacht, Jack Chambers, said that ending the decline in the status of the Irish language was a crucial step for the future of the Irish language.

Dúirt Aire Stáit na Gaeltachta, Jack Chambers gur céim ríthábhachtach do thodhchaí na Gaeilge, deireadh a bheith tagtha leis an maolú ar stádas na Gaeilge.

He said that Irish was now on a par with other official languages of the EU and that it would strengthen relations between the citizen and the European administrative systems.

Dúirt sé go raibh an Ghaeilge anois ar chomhchéim le teangacha oifigiúla eile an AE agus go ndaingeoidh sé an caidreamh idir an saoránach agus na córais riaracháin Eorpacha.

Along with the Official Languages Act, which was signed by the President of Ireland last week, the role of the Irish language in the national and European administrative systems has been greatly strengthened, said Minister Chambers.

In éineacht le hAcht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla, a shínigh Uachtarán na hÉireann an tseachtain seo caite, tá ról na Gaeilge sna córais riaracháin náisiúnta agus Eorpacha treisithe go mór a dúirt an tAire Chambers.

Unrestricted recognition and status, equal to all other official languages, of the Irish language in the European Union tonight

Aitheantas agus stádas gan srian, cothrom le gach teanga oifigiúil eile, ag an nGaeilge san Aontas Eorpach ó mheánoíche anocht

2 doses of Pfizer vaccine for children aged 5-11.

2 dháileog den vacsaín Pfizer le tabhairt do leanaí idir 5-11.

It has been confirmed that children in 5-11 years of age will be given two doses of the Pfizer vaccine against Covid-19 in this country.

Tá sé deimhnithe go dtabharfar dhá dháileog den vacsaín Pfizer in aghaidh covid 19 do leanaí idir 5-11 bliain d'aois sa tír seo.

There are approximately 480,000 primary school pupils in this age group.

Tá thart ar 480,000 dalta bunscoile san aoisghrúpa seo.

Professor Brian McGrath, head of the High Level Task Force on Covid-19 Vaccination, said that separate clinics for children will be set up in vaccination centers to reassure them before they receive the injections.

Dúirt an tOllamh Professor Brian Mac Craith, ceannasaí an Tascfhórsa Ardleibhéil ar Vacsaíniú covid 19, go mbunófar clinicí ar leith do leanaí in ionaid vacsaínithe d'fhonn iad a chur ar a suaimhneas sula bhfaigheann siad na hinstealltaí.

The separate children's clinics are being set up on the advice of the National Immunization Advisory Committee, said Professor McGrath.

Is de réir comhairle ón gCoiste Comhairleach Náisiúnta um Imdhíonadh atá na clinicí ar leith do pháistí á mbunú, a dúirt an tOllamh Mac Craith.

Speaking on RTÉ, he announced that the relevant portal on the Health Service Executive's website will be open to parents from next week.

Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, thug sé le fios go mbeidh an tairseach ábhartha ar shuíomh idirlín Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte oscailte do thuisimitheoirí ón tseachtain seo chugainn.

The doses for children have already arrived in Ireland, said Professor McGrath, and more will come in the coming months.

Tá na dáileoga do leanaí tagtha go hÉirinn cheana féin, a dúirt an tOllamh Mac Craith, agus beidh tuilleadh fós ag teacht i gcaitheamh na míosa seo chugainn.

A smaller dose than the normal dose of the vaccine given to children.

Tomhas níos lú ná an gnáth-thomhas den vacsaín a thabharfar do na leanaí.

A man has been arrested and is being questioned over the killing of the woman at Bray Garda Station.

Gabhadh fear agus tá se á cheistiú faoi mharú na mná i Stáisiún Ghardaí Bhré.

Gardaí say they are not pursuing anyone else in connection with the incident.

Deir na Gardaí nach bhfuil siad sa tóir ar aon duine eile maidir leis an eachtra.

An on-site technical examination is still to be carried out.

Tá scrúdú teicniúil le déanamh ar an láthair fós.
