New restrictions announced by Government to tackle Covid-19.

Srianta Nua fógartha ag an Rialtas chun dul i ngleic le covid 19.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has announced new restrictions this afternoon which will take effect from next Tuesday.

Tá srianta nua fógartha ag an Taoiseach Micheál Martin tráthnóna a thiocfaidh i bhfeidhm ó Dé Máirt seo chugainn.

The Government has accepted all the recommendations made by NPHET on hospitality and tourism.

Ghlac an Rialtas leis na moltaí ar fad a rinne NPHET i dtaobh cúrsaí fáilteachais agus cuartaíochta.

Restrictions in place from December 7th to January 9th will include: For the hospitality sector: Covid-19 Digital Certificates will be required for admission to training centers, fitness centers, pubs, pubs in hotels and restaurants.

I measc na srianta a bheidh i bhfeidhm ón 7ú Nollaig go dtí an 9ú Eanáir, beidh: Maidir le hearnáil an fháilteachais: Beidh Teastais Dhigiteacha covid 19 ag teastáil chun cead isteach a fháil in ionaid traenála, ionaid aclaíochta, tithe tábhairne, tithe tábhairne in ostáin agus i mbialanna.

Affected businesses are to be financially supported and the PUP payment will be reinstated for the unemployed due to the new restrictions.

Táthar le tacaíocht airgeadais a thabhairt do gnólachtaí a bheidh buailte agus tabharfar íocaíocht an PUP ar ais do dhaoine a bheidh dífhostaithe de bharr na srianta nua.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin said he was disappointed to announce the policies but had no choice because of the danger posed by the new variant of the virus, Omicron.

Dúirt an Taoiseach Micheál Martin go raibh díomá air na beartais a fhógairt ach nach raibh aon rogha eile ann mar gheall ar an gcontúirt a bhaineann leis an athraitheach nua den víreas, Omicron.

Micheál Martin said that the Government had confidence in science at all stages of this pandemic.

Dúirt Micheál Martin go raibh muinín ag an Rialtas san eolaíocht ag gach céim don phaindéim seo.

He said that together as a Nation we will emerge from the pandemic.

Dúirt sé gur le chéile mar Náisiún a thiocfaimíd as an bpaindéim.

The Taoiseach thanked the children for all they had done, saying they were a special generation.

Ghabh an Taoiseach buíochas le páistí as gach a bhí déanta acu ag rá gur glúin speisialta a bhí iontu.

Christmas Fruch making a scam for the Emergency Team.

Fruch frach na Nollag ag déanamh scime don Fhoireann Éigeandála.

The National Public Health Emergency Team is meeting today to discuss the latest national and international information on Covid-19.

Tá an Fhoireann Náisiúnta Éigeandála Sláinte Poiblí ag teacht le chéile inniu chun an fhaisnéis náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta is deireanaí maidir le covid 19 a phlé.

Questions on the meeting's include the Delta variant, the Omrikron variant, the winter flu and the Christmas heat.

Tá an t-athraitheach Deilte, an t-athraitheach Oimiocrón, fliú an gheimhridh agus fruch frach na Nollag i measc na gceisteanna ar chlár oibre an chruinnithe.

The emergency staffing of shops and other outlets from now until Christmas Day is a scam for the Emergency Team, and they are considering proposing additional restrictions to mitigate the danger of this.

Tá an trangláil daoine i siopaí agus in ionaid eile as seo go Lá Nollag ag déanamh scime don Fhoireann Éigeandála, agus tá siad ag cuimhneamh ar shrianta breise a mholadh leis an gcontúirt a bhaineann leis seo a mhaolú.

Also of concern is that Omimron appears to be more constructive than Delta.

Údar imní freisin gur cosúil go bhfuil Oimiocrón níos tógálaí ná Deilte.

On the contrary, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tony Holohan pointed out that the rate of infection and the number of Covid cases in the State has decreased since the introduction of the latest restrictions.

Os a choinne sin ar fad, thug an Príomhoifigeach Leighis an Dr Tony Holohan le fios go bhfuil an ráta ionfhabhtaithe agus líon na gcásanna Covid sa Stát laghdaithe ó tugadh isteach na srianta is deireanaí.

160 people died with Covid-19 in November, while 205 died in October.

Bhásaigh 160 duine le covid 19 i mí na Samhna, i gconchlann le 205 i mí Dheireadh Fómhair.

Following their meeting today, the Emergency Team will provide further advice to Government on public health policies.

I ndiaidh a gcruinnithe inniu, cuirfidh an Fhoireann Éigeandála tuilleadh comhairle ar an Rialtas faoi bheartais sláinte poiblí.

The Government will discuss this advice at its weekly meeting next Tuesday.

Déanfaidh an Rialtas a marana ar an gcomhairle sin ag a gcruinniú seachtainiúil Dé Máirt seo chugainn.

New policy at airports, ports criticized by virologist.

Polasaí nua ag aerfoirt, calafoirt cáinte ag víreolaí.

A virologist from University College Dublin said the policy announced by the Government yesterday makes no sense that people coming to this country from abroad must have a negative Covid-19 test.

Dúirt víreolaí ón gColáiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath, nach bhfuil aon chiall leis an bpolasaí a d'fhógair an Rialtas inné go gcaithfidh toradh diúltach ar thástáil covid 19 a bheith ag daoine a thagann chun na tíre seo ón iasacht.

Dr Gerald Barry stated that this policy will not delay the spread of the Oimicron variable in Ireland and said that it was a sham.

Mhaígh an Dr Gerald Barry nach gcuirfidh an polasaí seo moill ar fhorleathadh an athraithigh Oimiocrón in Éirinn agus dúirt nach bhfuil ann ach cur i gcéill.

Under the new policy, which will apply from next Friday, foreign nationals must prove that they tested negative for the Covid-19 test shortly before arriving in this country.

De réir an pholasaí nua, a mbeidh feidhm leis ón Aoine seo chugainn, caithfidh daoine a thagann go hÉirinn ón iasacht a chruthú go bhfuair siad toradh diúltach ar thástáil covid 19 go gairid roimh theacht chun na tíre seo dóibh.

If they have taken an antigen test, they must prove that they did it a maximum of 48 hours in advance.

Más tástáil antaigine a rinne siad, ní mór dóibh a chruthú go ndearna siad é 48 uair an chloig ar a mhéad roimhe sin.

It is a maximum of 72 hours if they have taken a Polymerase Chain Reaction (ISP) test.

72 uair an chloig ar a mhéad atá i gceist más tástáil um Imoibriú Slabhrúil Polaiméaráise (ISP) a rinne siad.

The ISP test is more sophisticated and precise than the antigen test.

Is soifaisticiúla agus is beaichte an tástáil ISP ná an tástáil antaigine.

Speaking on RTÉ, Dr Barry said that despite the goodwill introduction of the policy, the procedure was flawed.

Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, thug an Dr Barry le fios ainneoin gur le dea- rún a tugadh isteach an polasaí gur lochtach an modh oibre é.

He argued that for the success of the policy, people had to undergo antigen testing on both sides of their journey - both here and there.

Mhaígh sé go gcaithfeadh daoine tástáil antaigine a dhéanamh ar an dá thaobh dá n-aistear - thall agus abhus araon - le go mbeadh aon rath ar an bpolasaí.

Despite the ISP test being better, he said, a 72-hour space is too long.

Ainneoin gur fearr an tástáil ISP, a dúirt sé, tá spás 72 uair an chloig rófhada.

In any case, according to Dr Barry, it would be much better to try to control Covid - 19 override in the country as a whole rather than focusing on ports and airports.

Ar aon chuma, dar leis an Dr Barry, b'fhearr i bhfad iarracht a dhéanamh smacht a choinneáil ar fhorelathadh covid 19 sa tír trí chéile in áit díriú ar chalafoirt agus aerfoirt.

The national testing and tracking system should be strengthened to detect new cases of the disease and prevent its spread, Barrach said.

Ba cheart an córas náisiúnta tástála agus rianaithe a threisiú le cásanna nua den ghalar a aimsiú agus le bac a chur lena scaipeadh, a dúirt an Barrach.

Omiquron is too likely to spread worldwide.

Is ródhócha go leathfaidh Oimiocrón ar fud an domhain.

The World Health Organization has warned that the Ovicron variant poses a serious global threat to the coronavirus, although it is still uncertain how harmful it is.

Tá foláireamh tugtha ag an Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Sláinte go bhfuil contúirt mhór dhomhanda ag baint leis an athraitheach Oimiocrón ar an gcoróinvíreas, cé go bhfuiltear neamhchinnte fós faoi chomh hurchóideach agus atá sé.

It has been suggested that the variable has a large number of mutations and can overwhelm the human immune system and spread easily.

Tugadh le fios go bhfuil líon mór sóchán ag an athraitheach agus go bhféadfadh sé teacht thar chóras imdhíonachta an duine agus leathadh go héasca.

In fact, at this point it is all too likely that Oymicron will spread across the globe, it has been said.

Go deimhin, is ródhócha ag an tráth seo go leathfaidh Oimiocrón ar fud na cruinne, a dúradh.

No deaths have been reported as a result of the variable so far, but even if it's not even more lethal than other existing variables there is a risk that it will put even more pressure on health and hospital services.

Níor tuairiscíodh aon duine a bheith básaithe de bharr an athraithigh go nuige seo, ach gan fiú é a bheith níos marfaí ná athraithigh eile atá ann cheana féin tá baol ann go gcuirfidh sé tuilleadh brú fós ar sheirbhísí sláinte agus ospidéil.

The World Health Organization has urged governments to bring together as much information about Oimicron as they can and increase their surveillance systems accordingly.

Mhol an Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Sláinte do rialtais an oiread faisnéise faoi Oimiocrón agus is féidir leo a thabhairt le chéile agus cur lena gcórais faire cosanta dá réir.

It was also recommended to speed up the vaccination and re - vaccination of people.

Moladh freisin dlús a chur le vacsaíniú agus athvacsaíniú daoine.

However, a travel ban is not favored, for fear, it has been said, that it would discourage other countries from reporting new variables.

Ar a shon sin, níltear i bhfabhar le cosc taistil, ar eagla, a dúradh, go gcuirfeadh a leithéid mífhonn ar thíortha eile athraithigh nua a thuairisciú.

It has also been argued that travel bans undermine international solidarity.

Maíodh chomh maith go gcuireann cosc taistil as don dlúthpháirtíocht idirnáisiúnta.

New variable: a ban on air travel from southern Africa.

Athraitheach nua: cosc ar aerthaisteal ó dheisceart na hAfraice.

The European Union is proposing a ban on air travel from southern Africa following the emergence of a new variant of the coronavirus virus in that region.

Tá an tAontas Eorpach ag moladh cosc a chur ar aerthaisteal ó dheisceart na hAfraice tar éis d'athraitheach nua ar an gcoróinvíreas teacht chun cinn sa réigiún sin.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has indicated that member states will be consulted with a view to implementing the ban without delay.

Thug Uachtarán an Choimisiúin Eorpaigh Ursula von der Leyen le fios go rachfar i gcomhairle leis na ballstáit i bhfonn go gcuirfear an cosc i bhfeidhm gan mhoill.

Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said he expects a formal decision on the matter later today.

Dúirt an tAire Gnóthaí Eachtracha Simon Coveney go gceapann sé go ndéanfar cinneadh foirmiúil faoin scéal níos deireanaí inniu.

Member states must act promptly and cooperatively, says Minister.

Ní mór do na ballstáit beart a dhéanamh go pras agus i gcomhar le chéile, arsa an tAire.

He also pointed out that officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Health, the Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan, and representatives of the European Commission are currently looking into the matter.

Chuir sé in iúl freisin go bhfuil oifigigh ón Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha agus ón Roinn Sláinte, an Príomhoifigeach Leighis an Dr Tony Holohan, agus ionadaithe an Choimisiúin Eorpaigh ag breathnú ar an gceist faoi láthair.

Experts believe that the variant B.1.1.529 has many mutations and, as a result, can overwhelm the human immune system and spread easily.

Dar leis na saineolaithe go bhfuil go leor sóchán ag baint leis an athraitheach B.1.1.529 agus, dá bharr sin, go bhféadfadh sé teacht thar chóras imdhíonachta an duine agus leathadh go héasca.

Conversely, the seriousness of the situation remains uncertain as experts rely on further information.

Os a choinne sin, tá neamhchinnteacht ag baint fós le tromchúis an scéil agus saineolaithe ag brath le tuilleadh faisnéise.

Over 60 cases of the variable have been reported to date - between South Africa, Botswana, Hong Kong and Israel.

Os cionn 60 cás den athraitheach a tuairiscíodh go dtí seo - idir an Afraic Theas, an Bhotsuáin, Hong Cong agus Iosrael.

The World Health Organization has not yet given any official advice on variables.

Níl aon chomhairle oifigiúil maidir leis athraitheach tugtha fós ag an Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Sláinte.

Booster: a priority for pregnant women.

Teanndáileog: tús áite do mhná atá ag iompar clainne.

A booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine is to be offered to everyone in the State aged sixteen and over.

Táthar le teanndáileog den vacsaín in aghaidh covid 19 a thairiscint do gach duine sa Stát atá sé bliana déag agus os a chionn.

This decision was made on the basis of advice from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said.

Is de réir comhairle ón gCoiste Comhairleach Náisiúnta um Imdhíonadh a rinneadh an cinneadh seo, a dúirt an tAire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly.

The Minister indicated that the Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has also accepted the recommendation.

Thug an tAire le fios go bhfuil glactha ag an bPríomhoifigeach Leighis an Dr Tony Holohan leis an moladh freisin.

Pregnant women will be given priority, according to the council.

Tabharfar tús áite do mhná atá ag iompar clainne, de réir na comhairle.

After that, the booster will be provided in descending order of age, that is, 40 to 49 and 16 to 39.

Ina ndiaidh siúd, is in ord íslitheach de réir aoise a chuirfear an teanndáileog ar fáil, mar atá, 40 go 49 agus 16 go 39.

One of the mRNA vaccines - Pfizer or Moderna - will be the most widely used.

Ceann de na vacsaíní mRNA - Pfizer nó Moderna - is mó a bheas i gceist.

It is recommended that people be given a booster dose of the mRNA vaccine five months after the second dose.

Moltar teanndáileog den vacsaín mRNA a thabhairt do dhaoine cúig mhí tar éis an dara dáileog.

The Janssen vaccine is shorter.

Achar níos gairide atá i gceist le vacsaín Janssen.

A booster of this vaccine can be given to people three months after the last dose.

Is féidir teanndáileog den vacsaín sin a thabhairt do dhaoine trí mhí tar éis na dáileoige deireanaí.

People who have had Covid-19 have to wait six months after contracting the disease to get a booster.

Maidir le daoine a raibh covid 19 orthu, ní mór dóibhsean fanacht sé mhí ó tholg siad an galar le teanndáileog a fháil.

The Health Service Executive also announced today that next month, around 140,000 vaccines will be shipped to Ireland for distribution to children aged five to eleven.

Chuir Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte in iúl inniu chomh maith go mbeidh timpeall 140,000 vacsaín á seoladh go hÉirinn an mhí seo chugainn le cur ar fáil do pháistí idir cúig bliana agus aon bhliain déag.

Murder inquiry into death of man in Balbriggan.

Fiosrúchán dúnmharaithe faoi bhás fir i mBaile Brigín.

Gardaí are investigating a murder into the death of a 65-year-old man whose body was found in Dublin yesterday evening.

Tá fiosrúchán dúnmharaithe ar bun ag na Gardaí faoi bhás fir 65 bliain d'aois a bhfuarthas a chorp i mBaile Átha Cliath tráthnóna inné.

Christopher Hall's body was found at his residence in Dunsany Green in Balbriggan in the north of the county.

Fuarthas corp Christopher Hall ina theach cónaithe i bhFaiche Dhún Saithne i mBaile Brigín i dtuaisceart an chontae.

He is said to have suffered serious head and body injuries.

Deirtear gur bhain droch-ghortuithe sa cheann agus sa cholainn dó.

His family is grown up and he lived alone in the house.

Tá a chlann fásta agus bhí sé ina chónaí sa teach ina aonar.

House robbery does not appear to have been involved and Gardaí consider that Christopher Hall may have known the attacker.

Ní cosúil go raibh ropaireacht tí i gceist agus measann na Gardaí go mb'fhéidir go raibh aithne ag Christopher Hall ar an té a d'ionsaigh é.

The Gardaí are examining videos from security cameras and are also gathering information from local people.

Tá físeáin ó cheamaraí slándála á scrúdú ag na Gardaí agus tá siad ag bailiú eolais freisin ó mhuintir an cheantair.

Christopher Hall's body was examined post - mortem this afternoon.

Rinneadh scrúdú iarbháis á dhéanamh ar chorp Christopher Hall tráthnóna.
