Disaster in the Channel: At least 31 migrants drowned.

Tubaiste i Muir nIocht: 31 imirceach ar a laghad báite.

At least 31 people - migrants from different countries - were drowned while trying to cross the sea between France and England today.

Báthadh 31 duine ar a laghad - imircigh ó thíortha éagsúla - agus iad ag iarraidh dul trasna na farraige idir an Fhrainc agus Sasana inniu.

The boat in which they were anchored in the Channel reportedly left the port of Calais.

Tuairiscítear go ndeachaigh an bád ina raibh siad faoi i Muir nIocht amach ó chalafort Calais.

A fisherman called the authorities when he saw bodies on top of water.

Iascaire a chuir fios ar na húdaráis nuair a chonaic sé coirp ar barr uisce.

Some people were taken from the water while still alive and are being treated in hospital.

Tugadh roinnt daoine ón uisce agus iad fós ina mbeatha agus tá cóir leighis á cur orthu san ospidéal.

French Prime Minister Jean Castex called it a tragedy and blamed human traffickers.

Dúirt Príomh-Aire na Fraince Jean Castex gur tragóid a bhí ann agus dúirt gur lucht gáinneála ar dhaoine a bhí freagrach as.

The number of migrants from the Eastern World who are mostly trying to get to Britain from France in small boats every day remains an unresolved crisis.

Géarchéim gan réiteach fós is ea líon na n-imirceach as an Domhan Thoir den chuid is mó a fhéachann le teacht chun na Breataine ón bhFrainc i mbáid bheaga gach aon lá.

It is estimated that around 25,000 people have made the voyage so far this year and that the emergency services have had to rescue almost another 8,000.

Áirítear gur éirigh le thart ar 25,000 duine an turas farraige a dhéanamh go dtí seo i mbliana agus go mb'éigean do na seirbhísí éigeandála beagnach 8,000 eile a tharrtháil.

The situation is a source of great contention between France and Britain.

Tá an scéal ina údar mór aighnis idir an Fhrainc agus an Bhreatain.

Both sides accuse each other of not doing their best to resolve the issue.

Cuireann an dá thaobh i leith a chéile nach bhfuil siad ag déanamh a ndíchill leis an gceist a fhuascailt.

45 people killed in bus crash in Bulgaria.

45 duine maraithe i dtubaiste bus sa Bhulgáir.

At least 45 people, including twelve children, were killed when a bus caught fire in western Bulgaria.

Maraíodh 45 duine ar a laghad, dáréag paistí ina measc, nuair a chuaigh bus trí thine in iarthar na Bulgáire.

The crash happened early this morning on a highway about 40 kilometers south of the capital Sofia.

Tharla an tubaiste go moch ar maidin ar mhórbhealach thart ar 40 ciliméadar ó dheas ón bpríomhchathair Sóifia.

It is not yet known what caused the fire.

Ní fíos fós cad ba chúis leis an dóiteán.

A police spokesman said because the driver was killed no one was able to open the door of the bus.

Dúirt urlabhraí na bpóilíní mar gheall gur maraíodh an tiománaí nach raibh aon duine in ann doras an bhus a oscailt.

Out went the windows went the people who took their feet with them, he said.

Amach na fuinneoga a chuaigh na daoine a thug na cosa leo, a dúirt sé.

There were 52 passengers on the bus, he said, and twelve of the 45 lost were under eighteen.

Bhí 52 paisinéir ar an mbus, a dúirt sé, agus bhí dáréag den 45 duine a cailleadh faoi ocht mbliana déag.

The majority of the dead are believed to be of Macedonian, Albanian and Serbian origin.

Tuigtear gur daoine de bhunadh na Macadóine Thuaidh, na hAlbáine agus na Seirbia a bhí i bhformhór na marbh.

The bus was traveling between Istanbul in Turkey and Skopje in Northern Macedonia at the time of the disaster.

Bhí an bus ag taisteal idir Iostanbúl sa Tuirc agus Scóipé sa Mhacadóin Thuaidh nuair a tharla an tubaiste.

'I will have the imprint of this attack forever'-Kevin Lunney.

'Beidh rian an ionsaithe seo orm go brách'-Kevin Lunney.

Businessman Kevin Lunney, who was abducted and badly battered in County Cavan 2 years ago, has said that the traces of that attack will remain with him both physically and emotionally.

Tá sé ráite ag an bhfear gnó,Kevin Lunney, a fuadaíodh agus a batráileadh go dona i gContaean Chábháin 2 bhliain ó shin, go bhfanfaidh rian an ionsaithe sin leis go fisiciúil agus ó thaobh a chuid mothúchán de.

In a victim impact statement, which a guard read out on his behalf in court, Kevin Lunney said this attack was the icing on an intimidation campaign against the Quinn Industrial Holdings company.

I ráiteas tionchair íospartaigh, a léigh garda amach thar a cheann sa chúirt, dúirt Kevin Lunney gurbh é an t-ionsaí seo an sméar mullaigh ar fheachtas imeaglaithe in aghaidh an chomhlachta cén Quinn Industrial Holdings.

However, he said that he did not understand why the three men had attacked him; 'I did not know them and they did not know me' he said.

Dúirt sé áfach nár thuig sé cén fáth a ndearna an triúr fear ionsaí dá léithid; 'ní raibh aon aithne agam orthu agus ní raibh aon aithne acu orm' a dúirt sé.

Following the attack, Kevin Lunney was left on the side of the road.

I ndiaidh an ionsaithe,fágadh Kevin Lunney ar thaobh an bhóthair.

The three convicts are to be sentenced in the Special Criminal Court: Alan O'Brien (40), Darren Redmond (27), both from the East Wall in Dublin, and another man who cannot be named for unlawful imprisonment and the ill-treatment they inflicted on Mr Lunney on 17 September 2019.

Tá píonós le gearradh sa Chúirt Choiriúil Speisialta ar an triúr atá ciontaithe: Alan O'Brien (40), Darren Redmond (27), ar ón Bhalla Thoir i mBaile Átha Cliath iad beirt, agus fear eile nach féidir a ainmniú as príosúnú mídhleathach agus an droch-bhail a chur siad ar an Uasal Lunney ar an 17Meán Fómhair 2019.

This will now take place on 20 December 2021.

Is ar an 20Nollaig 2021 a dhéanfar sin anois.

Submissions on behalf of the trio were made to the court today.

Cuireadh aighneachtaí ar son an triúir faoi bhráid na cúirte inniu.

"Judgment required in the judgment of the Rittenhouse case".

"Stuaim de dhíth maidir leis an mbreithiúnas i gcás Rittenhouse".

U.S. President Joe Biden is urging the American people to respect each other's views and not resort to violence in the face of the judgment in Kyle Rittenhouse's trial yesterday.

Tá Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe, Joe Biden, ag impí ar mhuintir Mheirceá meas a bheith acu ar thuairimí a chéile agus gan dul i muinín foréigin i bhfianaise an bhreithiúnais i dtrial Kyle Rittenhouse inné.

The teenager was found not guilty in Wisconsin yesterday of the deaths of two men.

Fuarthas an déagóir neamhchiontach in Wisconsin inné maidir le bás bheirt fhear.

The two men were released and killed during a protest in Kenosha last year, while another was injured.

Scaoileadh agus maraíodh an bheirt fhear le linn agóide in Kenosha anuraidh, agus gortaíodh duine eile.

The protest involved a racial dispute.

Bhain an agóid le haighneas ciníoch.

Kyle Rittenhouse admitted that he was the one who fired the bullets at them, but claimed that he was trying to defend himself.

D'admhaigh Kyle Rittenhouse gurbh eisean a scaoil na piléir leo, ach mhaígh sé gur ag iarraidh é féin a chosaint a bhí sé.

This trial has led to controversy over the protection of human rights and the limitations of that right, as Kyle Rittenhouse decided to bring a semi - automatic rifle in protest.

Tá cur agus cúiteamh eascartha as an trial seo maidir le cearta an duine é féin a chosaint agus na teorainneacha a bhaineann leis an gceart sin, mar go ndearna Kyle Rittenhouse cinneadh raidhfil leathuathoibríoch a thabhairt leis ag agóid.

Joe Biden said he understands that this judgment will make people angry - including himself, he said.

Dúirt Joe Biden go dtuigeann sé go gcuirfidh an breithiúnas seo fearg ar dhaoine - é féin san áireamh, a dúirt sé.

But he urged the public to respect each other's views and not resort to violence.

Ach d'impigh sé ar an bpobal meas a bheith acu ar thuairimí a chéile agus gan dul i muinín foréigin.

"Public opinion after turning in favor of further restrictions".

"Tuairim an phobail i ndiaidh iompú i bhfábhar tuilleadh srianta".

According to the latest research published by the Economic and Social Research Institute, ESRI, public opinion has turned in favor of the further introduction of Covid 19 restrictions.

De réir an taighde is deireanaí atá foilsithe ag an Institiúid Taighde Eacnamaíochta agus Sóisialta, an ESRI, tá tuairim an phobail i ndiaidh iompú i bhfábhar tuilleadh srianta Covid 19 a thabhairt isteach.

Professor Pete Lunn from ESRI said today that the study shows that 48% of the public are in favor of further restrictions, 38% are against them and the rest of the public do not know.

Dúirt an tOllamh Pete Lunn ón ESRI inniu go léiríonn an staidéar go bhfuil 48 faoin gcéad den phobal i bhfábhar tuilleadh srianta, go bhfuil 38 faoin gcéad ina gcoinne agus nach bhfuil a fhios ag an gcuid eile den phobal.

This research was undertaken before the government announced the new policies this week.

Tugadh faoin taighde seo sular fhógair an rialtas na beartais úra an tseachtain seo.

The research also shows, he said, that there is no basis for the speculation that young people are more likely to put themselves at risk.

Léiríonn an taighde freisin, a dúirt sé, nach bhfuil aon bhunús leis an tuairimíocht gur mó seans go gcuirfidh daoine óga iad féin i mbaol.

He pointed out that adults are just as active in their social lives as young people.

Thug sé le fios go bhfuil daoine fásta chomh gníomhach céanna ina saol sóisialta is atá daoine óga.

The health service is currently the biggest public concern, Professor Lunn said.

Is í an tseirbhís sláinte is mó atá ina húdar imní don phobal i láthair na huaire, a dúirt an tOllamh Lunn.

People are also worried about their family and friends, he said.

Tá daoine buartha freisin faoina dteaghlach agus a gcairde, a dúirt sé.

Research shows that the public accepted that the vaccine would protect them.

Léiríonn an taighde gur ghlac an pobal leis go dtabharfadh an vacsaín cosaint dóibh.

And so, they continued their social gatherings, despite an increase in the number of cases.

Agus gur mar sin, gur lean siad lena gcruinnithe sóisialta, in ainneoin ardú a bheith tagtha ar líon na gcásanna.

But, said Professor Lunn, the latest statistics show that there is a strong reversal in favor of further restrictions in this regard.

Ach, a dúirt an tOllamh Lunn, léiríonn na staitisticí is deireanaí go bhfuil iompú mór i bhfábhar tuilleadh srianta um an dtaca seo.

Tough weeks ahead - Deputy Chief Medical Officer.

Seachtainí dheacra romhainn - Leas-Phríomh-Oifigeach Leighis.

Dr Rónan Glynn said this morning that it is a difficult few weeks ahead for the people of the country and the risk that there could be up to 200,000 new or more Covid-19 cases in the country in December.

Dúirt an Dr Rónan Glynn ar maidin go bhfuil cúpla seachtain dheacair roimh phobal na tíre agus an bhaol ann go bhféadfadh suas le 200,000 cás nua nó níos mó covid 19 bheith sa tír i mí na Nollag.

Dr Glynn gave this warning in an online video but said this number is not inevitable.

I bhfíseán ar-líne a thug an Dr Glynn an rabhadh seo ach dúirt sé nach bhfuil an líon seo dosheachanta.

He said that these people have not yet contracted the disease and that the spread of this outbreak can be avoided by taking and following health advice and guidance.

Dúirt sé nach bhfuil an galar tolgtha ag na daoine seo fós agus gur féidir an scaipeadh ráige seo a sheachaint ach comhairle agus treoir sláinte a ghlacadh agus a leanúint.

He said that despite the whole community being tired, exhausted by the pandemic, and that the majority of the population had given and followed many requests for health guidance, he said that the advice of the Department of Health, the Health Service Executive must be addressed. (HSE) and other experts now follow more vigorously.

Dúirt sé, ainneoin go bhfuil an pobal ar fad tuirseach, traochta ag an bpaindéim, agus gur iomaí iarratas ar threoir sláinte a leanúint atá tugtha agus leanta ag formhór an phobail, dúirt sé go gcaithfear díriú ar chomhairle na Roinne Sláinte, na Feidhmeannachta Seirbhíse Sláinte (FSS) agus na saineolaithe eile a leanúint níos tréine anois.

The Chief Executive of the HSE, Paul Reid, described the state of the crisis this morning, telling him that the challenge facing the health services is now more severe than at any other time during the pandemic to date.

Rinne Príomhfheidhmeannach an FSS, Paul Reid cur síos ar staid na géarchéime ar maidin, á rá dó go bhfuil an dúshlán atá os comhair na seirbhísí sláinte níos déine anois ná mar a bhí ag aon am eile le linn na paindéime go dtí seo.

Public hospitals are relying on private hospitals in a bid to bring the latest boom under control but he went on to say that because Covid's treatment is being prioritized, many other surgeries have been put on the back burner. .

Tá na hospidéil poiblí ag dul i muinín na nospidéil príobháideacha in iarracht an borradh is déanaí a thabhairt faoi smacht ach lean sé le rá toisc go bhfuil tosaíocht á thabhairt do chóir leighis Covid, go bhfuil go leor obráidí eile curtha ar an méar fhada dá bharr.

He also pointed out that 4,400 staff in the medical service have been absent due to the infection of Covid-19.

Thug sé le fios freisin, go bhfuil 4,400 ball foirne den tseirbhís leighis as láthair de bharr covid 19 bheith tolgtha acu.

4.650 cás nua, 643 in ospidéil, 118 faoi dhianchúram inniu.

The Department of Health announced that 4.650 new cases of Covid-19 have been reported to the Department today.

D'fhogair an Roinn Sláinte gur 4.650 cás nua de covid 19 atá curtha in iúl don Roinn inniu.

643 people are hospitalized for the virus, 9 more than yesterday's number.

Tá 643 duine in ospidéil de bharr an víorais, 9 níos mó ná mar an lion inné.

This number of patients is 20% higher than last week and 40% higher than two weeks ago.

Tá an líon seo othar 20 faoin gcéad nios airde ná an tseachtain seo caite agus 40 faoin gcéad nios airde ná coicís ó shin.

Of these, 118 patients are in intensive care, one less than yesterday.

118 othar diobh sin atá faoi dhianchúram, ceann níos lú ná an lá inné.

For the past week, about one in six people in Ireland have experienced symptoms similar to Covid, according to the Chief Medical Officer, Dr Tony Holohan.

Le seachtain anus, tá siomptóim ar aon dul le Covid ar thart ar dhuine amháin as gach seisear in Éirinn, dar leis an bPríomhoifigeach Leighis, an Dr Tony Holohan.

These include coughing, sore throat or high temperature.

Ina measc sin tá casacht, scórnach thinn nó teocht ard.

The most important action a person can take if they have symptoms similar to Covid's is to do self-isolation and fix a PCR test, not an antigen test.

An gníomh is tábhachtaí is féidir le duine a dhéanamh má bhíonn siomptóim ar aon dul le Covid orthu é féinleithlisiú a dhéanamh agus tástáil PCR, agus ní tástáil antaigine, a shocrú.

HSE Chief Executive Paul Reid said in the evening that the situation in hospitals and the health system as a whole is extremely serious, and that this last outbreak has been putting incredible pressure on the system.

Deir Príomh- Fheidhmeannach an HSE Paul Reid tráthnóna, go bhfuil cúrsaí sna hospidéil agus sa chóras sláinte trí chéile thar a bheith tromchúiseach, agus go raibh an ráig dheireanach seo ag cur brú dochreidte ar an gcóras.

Paul Reid said 476 patients were placed in intensive care between June 27 and November 13.

Dúirt Paul Reid gur cuireadh 476 othar faoi dhianchúram idir an 27 Meitheamh agus an 13 Samhain.

Of these: The test system is also under pressure, he said, saying that over 200,000 tests have been carried out in the last seven days.

Astu sin: Tá brú freisin ar an gcóras tástála a dúirt sé á rá go ndearnadh os cionn 200,000 tástáil le seacht lá anuas.

The Chief Clinical Officer in the HSE and Dr.

Dúirt an Príomhoigifeach Cliniciúil sa HSE and Dr.

Colm Henry states that the majority of cases are currently in the youngest age groups, with 51% of cases being in the under 35s.

Colm Henry gur sna haoisghrúpaí is óige atá formhór na gcásanna faoi láthair, agus go bhfuil 51 faoin gcéad de na cásanna sna daoine atá faoi 35 bhliana d'aois.

But 45% of cases admitted to hospitals in the past two weeks are in groups over 65, he said.

Ach sna grúpaí os cionn 65 bhliana atá 45 faoin gcéad de na cásanna a tugadh isteach sna hospidéil le coicís anuas, a dúirt sé.

Highly valuable films from Corca Dhuibhne in the 1920s found.

Scannáin fíor-luachmar as Corca Dhuibhne sna 1920í aimsithe.

America has found some invaluable films that provide an important insight into life in 1920s Ireland.

Ta scannáin fíor-luachmhar a thugann léargas tábhachtach ar an saol in Éirinn sna 1920í aimsithe i Meiriceá.

Benjamin T.

The films were made by Gault, a conservationist and naturalist, while in Ireland collecting seabirds, eggs and other animals.

Gault, caomhantóir agus nádúraí a dhein na scannáin, le linn do bheith in Éirinn ag bailiú éanlaithe mara, uibheacha and ainmhithe eile.

Most of the films are about the Corca Dhuibhne area of Kerry.

Baineann formhór na scannán le ceantar Chorca Dhuibhne i gCiarraí.

Scenes tamed on 19 35mm rolls include farmers plowing in the parish of An Fheirtéaraigh, turf cutting on the Field, set dancing on the Boulteen, races and a fair day in Dingle, women going to Mass, street vendors, sheep being transported from Inis Mhic Uibhleáin in the naomhóga.

I measc na radharcanna atá ceansaithe ar 19 rolla 35mm tá feirmeoirí i mbun curadóireachta i bparóiste an Fheirtéaraigh, baint na móna ar an bhFearann, rince seite ar an mBuailtín, ráiseanna agus lá aonaigh sa Daingean, mná ag dul ar an Aifreann, díoltóirí sráide, caoire á n-iompar ó hInis Mhic Uibhleáin sna naomhóga.

The material was discovered by Mícheál Ó Mainnín, a farmer and fisherman from An Fheirtéaraigh's parish.

Mícheál Ó Mainnín, feairmeoir agus iascaire ó pharósite an Fheirtéaraigh a d'aimsigh an t-ábhar agus e ag fiosrú scéil a bhí ag a athair críonna fén Meiriceánach a bhí i mbun taifeadta sa cheantar fadó.

"My wise father, Mick 'Neilí' Ó Mainnín, said that this American was in the area collecting birds and things.

"Dúirt m’athair críonna, Mick 'Neilí’ Ó Mainnín go raibh an Meiriceánach so sa cheantar agus e ag bailiú éanlaithe is rudaí.

He had no shortage of money and would sell the fishermen for what they brought him.

Ní raibh aon easpa airgid air agus dhíolfadh sé na hiascairí as an méid a thugaidís chuige.

But my wise father said he also had a camera and took a number of films in the area. "

Ach dúirt m’athair críonna go raibh ceamara aige chomh maith agus go dtóg sé scata films sa cheantar."

Mannin investigated the story and finally found a collection of Gault films, in the archives of the Chicago Academy of Sciences, among notes and diaries relating to his voyage to Ireland.

D'fhiosraigh an Mainníneach an scéal agus d’aimsigh sé cnuasach scannán Gault ar deireadh, i gcoimeád i gcartlann an Chicago Academy of Sciences, agus é i measc nótaí agus dialanna a bhaineann lena thuras go hÉirinn.

The Irish Film Institute decided to digitize the material, with the support of the San Francisco Silent Film Festival.

Bheartaigh Inistitiúd Scannán na hÉireann an t-ábhar a dhigitiú, le tacaíocht ón San Francisco Silent Film Festival.

The Irish Film Institute says they are invaluable recordings that give a fascinating insight into rural life in the 1920s.

Deir Institiúd Scannán na hÉireann gur taifeadtaí fíor-luachmhar iad a thugann léargas iontach ar shaol na tuaithe sna 1920í.

Manus McManus said that recordings from this period are very rare and that some of these films are of a high standard.

Dúirt Manus McManus gur fíorannamh a mhaireann taifeadtaí ón dtréimhse seo agus go bhfuil na scannáin áirithe seo ar ard-chaighdeán.

The Institute intends to make the films available to the public on its website.

Tá sé beartaithe ag an Institiúd na scannáin a chur ar fáil don bpobal ar a suíomh idirlín.

People are asked to work from home from Friday.

Iarrtar ar dhaoine obair sa bhaile ón Aoine.

The Government is advising people to work from home, if they can, from next Friday.

Tá an Rialtas ag comhairliú do dhaoine obair sa bhaile, más féidir dóibh, ón Aoine seo chugainn.

The issue and other Covid-19 restrictions are being discussed at the Government's weekly meeting.

Tá an cheist agus srianta eile covid 19 á gcaibidil ag cruinniú seachtainiúil an Rialtais.

The Government also today ruled that pubs, restaurants and nightclubs must close at midnight from Friday.

Chinn an Rialtas inniu freisin go gcaithfidh tithe tábhairne, bialanna agus clubanna oíche dúnadh ag meán oíche ón Aoine.

In light of this decision, the pubs called on the Government to reintroduce financial supports for the sector.

I bhfianaise an chinnidh seo, d'iarr na tábhairneoirí ar an Riatlas tacaíochtaí airgeadais don earnáil a thabhairt isteach arís.

As a result, Covid Digital Certificates will henceforth be required in cinemas and theaters, but there will be no obligation to display a certificate in hairdressers or fitness centers.

Ar a dhroim sin, beidh Teastais Dhigiteacha Covid riachtanach feasta i bpictiúrlanna agus amharclanna, ach ní bheidh aon oibleagáid ar dhaoine teastas a thaispeáint i ngruaglanna ná ionaid aclaíochta.

Currently, up to fifty people are allowed to enter cinemas and theaters without a certificate.

Faoi láthair, tá cead ag suas le leathchéad duine dul isteach i bpictiúrlanna agus amharclanna gan aon teastas a bheith acu.

It has also been decided that people living with someone who has contracted Covid-19 will have to stay alone for five days and by taking an antigen test.

Socraíodh chomh maith go mbeidh ar dhaoine atá in aontíos le duine a tholg covid 19 fanacht astu féin ar feadh cúig lá agus trí thástáil antaigine a dhéanamh.

Deficient ambition at COP26 - Mary Robinson.

Uaillmhian easnamhach ag COP26 - Mary Robinson.

Former President Mary Robinson says COP26's countries' ambition was lacking and therefore everyone under 60 is likely to survive in a world that is less habitable than there are extreme weather events, and people under 30 are likely to survive in that world.

Deir an t-Iar-Uachtarán Mary Robinson go raibh uaillmhian na dtíortha ag COP26 easnamhach agus dá bhrí sin gur dócha go mairfidh gach duine faoi 60 i ndomhain nach bhfuil chomh ináitrithe agus a bhfuil ócáidí adhaimsire ann, agus gur cinnte go mairfidh daoine faoi 30 sa domhain sin.

More than 200 countries have reached an agreement on tackling climate change following two weeks of negotiations in Glasgow.

Tháinig thar ar 200 tír ar shocrú le dul i ngleic leis an athru aeráide tar éis idirbheartaíocht a mhair coicís i nGlaschú.

But scientists and environmentalists say more is needed than the policies in the arrangement to avoid dangerous temperature rises.

Ach deir eolaithe agus lucht timpeallachta go dteastaíonn níos mó ná na beartais sa socrú chun arduithe teocha contúirteacha a sheachaint.

They also accused rich countries of not providing the necessary funding for those countries at risk from drought, rising seas, fires and storms.

Chuir siad i leith thíortha saibhre freisin nach bhfuil siad ag cur an maoiniú riachtanach ar fáil do na tíortha sin atá i gcontúirt ón triomach, ó ardú na bhfarraigí, tinte agus stoirmeacha.

Mary Robinson said that the leaders of the small island countries had probably left COP 26 in despair because they were barely kept alive.

Dúirt Mary Robinson gur dóichí gur faoi éadóchas a d'fhág ceannairí na dtíortha beaga oileánacha COP 26 mar gur ar éigean atá siad á gcoinneáil beo.

The former president is chairman of The Elders and a former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Tá an t-iar-Uachtarán ina cathaoirleach ar The Elders agus ina iar-Ard-Choimisinéir Chearta Daonna ag na Náisiúin Aontaithe.

She also said that the United States, Australia, China, Mexico, Mexico and Brazil have not increased their emissions with the highest emissions.

Dúirt sí freisin nár mhéadaigh na tiortha is airde astaíochtaí a mian i leith na n-astaíochtaí a ísiliú - na Stáit Aontaithe, An Astráil, an tSín, Meicseiceoeacó agus an Breasaíl, agus go raibh mian easnamhach freisin ó thoobh airgeadais de.

But Mary Robinson also said that progress had been made in the pledges made in a number of sectors: financial assistance to poor countries, lowering methane emissions, reducing coal use, ending deforestation and reducing oil and gas consumption.

Ach dúirt Mary Robinson freisin go ndearnadh dul chun cinn sna geallúíntí a rinneadh i roinnt earnálacha: na cúnamh airgeadais do thíortha bochta, astaíochtaí meatáin a ísliú, úsáid an ghuail a bhrú síos, deireadh leis an dífhoraisiú agus úsáid ola agus gáis a laghdú.

It was significant, she said, that the text first referred to the phasing out of the use of fossil fuels.
