Finalization of guidelines for the hospitality sector.

Bailchríoch á cur ar threoirlínte don earnáil fáilteachtais.

New health and safety guidelines for the hospitality sector, in particular nightclubs, live music venues, pubs and restaurants, will be published later today.

Foilseofar níos deireanaí inniu treoirlínte nua sláinte agus sábháilteachta don earnáil fáilteachtais, go háirithe clubanna oíche, ionaid cheoil bheo, tithe tábhairne agus bialanna.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin said at last night 's Fianna Fáil meeting that they will be practical guidelines and that people will be expected to be cynical about them.

Dúirt an Taoiseach Micheál Martin ag cruinniú Fhianna Fáil aréir, gur treoirlínte praiticiúla a bheas iontu agus go mbeifear ag súil go mbeidh daoine siosmaideach ina leith.

It is understood that - according to the guidelines - more than one table will be allowed to be booked in pubs and restaurants from tomorrow.

Tuigtear go mbeidh cead - de réir na dtreoirlínte - níos mó ná bord amháin a chur in áirithe i dtithe tábhairne agus i mbialanna ó amárach.

It seems that only pub service will still be allowed in pubs.

Dealraíonn sé gur seirbhís ag an mbord amháin a bheas ceadaithe i dtithe tábhairne go fóill.

People will be allowed to go to the counter to order a drink provided social separation is in place.

Beidh cead ag daoine dul chuig an gcuntar le deoch a ordú ach scaradh sóisialta a bheith i bhfeidhm.

However, a counter meeting will not be permitted.

Ní bheidh cead cruinniú ag an gcuntar, áfach.

However, pubs are not happy that counter service will not be allowed.

Níl na tábhairneoirí sásta, ámh, nach mbeidh cead seirbhís chuntair a chur ar fáil.

Counter service is an important part of the host’s business, their spokesman said.

Is cuid thábhachtach de ghnó an óstóra seirbhís chuntair, a dúirt a n-urlabhraí.

On the contrary, they have welcomed the directive of better enforcement of vaccination certificate rules in pubs.

Os a choinne sin, tá fáilte curtha acu roimh an treoir na rialacha a bhaineann le teastais vacsaínithe a chur i bhfeidhm níos fearr i dtithe tábhairne.

However, the guidelines for live music venues are still uncertain.

Tá neamhchinnteacht ag baint i gcónaí leis na treoirlínte d'ionaid cheoil bheo, áfach.

Controversial issues still appear to be in the offing but are expected to be resolved by evening.

Is cosúil go bhfuil ceisteanna achrannacha fós idir chamáin ach táthar ag súil go mbeidh siad réitithe faoi thráthnóna.

Primary School in Wexford reopened as directed by the Department.

Bunscoil i Loch Garman oscailte arís de réir ordú na Roinne.

A primary school in Wexford reopened this morning after the Department of Education instructed school management to do so.

Osclaíodh bunscoil i Loch Garman arís ar maidin inniu tar éis don Roinn Oideachas ordú do bhainistíocht na scoile é sin a dhéanamh.

The Christian Brothers Primary School in Wexford town was closed earlier this week due to a Covid-19 outbreak among the school.

Dúnadh Bunscoil na mBráithre Críostaí i mbaile Loch Garman i dtús na seachtaine seo mar gheall ar ráig covid 19 i measc mhuintir na scoile.

The school management decided on its own initiative to close the school - without consulting public health officials - but the pupils were learning online at home.

Chinn bainistíocht na scoile as a stuaim féin an scoil a dhúnadh - gan dul i gcomhairle le hoifigigh sláinte poilbí - ach bhí foghlaim ar líne á fáil sa bhaile ag na daltaí.

Although the place reopened in the morning, the school indicated that most of the pupils stayed at home.

Cé gur osclaíodh an áit arís ar maidin, thug lucht na scoile le fios gur fhan formhór na ndaltaí sa bhaile.

About a quarter of students came to school in the morning, it was said.

Thart ar an gceathrú cuid de dhaltaí a tháinig chun na scoile ar maidin, a dúradh.

Covid-19 was recently taken over by 30 people at the school and it was intended not to reopen it until the mid-term break was over.

30 duine sa scoil a tholg covid 19 le gairid agus bhí sé i gceist gan é a oscailt arís go mbeadh an briseadh lár téarma caite.

The Irish National Teachers' Association will hold talks tomorrow with officials in the Department of Education about the current number of Covid-19 cases in primary schools.

Beidh cainteanna amárach ag Cumann Múinteoirí Éireann le hoifigigh sa Roinn Oideachais faoin líon cásanna covid 19 atá i mbunscoileanna faoi láthair.

Teachers are concerned about the high number of cases among five- to twelve- year-olds in particular and how Covid's courses will be in general in schools between November and December.

Tá imní ar mhuinteoirí faoin líon ard cásanna i measc daltaí idir chúig bliana agus dhá bhliain déag go háirithe agus faoi cé mar a bheas cúrsaí Covid trí chéile i scoileanna idir Shamhain agus Nollaig.

Lots of restrictions to ease from Friday, some more to keep.

Go leor srianta le maolú ón Aoine, roinnt eile le coinneáil fós.

The Government has confirmed that some Covid-19 restrictions will be eased next Friday as planned, but that some more will remain and the disease remains a critical threat.

Tá sé deimhnithe ag an Rialtas go maolófar roinnt srianta covid 19 Dé hAoine seo chugainn mar a bhí beartaithe, ach go gcoinneofar roinnt eile go fóill agus an galar fós ina bhagairt chinniúnach.

The Taoiseach said some of the restrictions will apply for at least another four months and reiterated his call for those who have not been vaccinated to get it without delay.

Dúirt an Taoiseach go mbeidh feidhm le cuid de na srianta go ceann ceithre mhí eile ar a laghad agus d'achaingh sé arís ar dhaoine nach bhfuil an vacsaín faighte acu é a fháil gan mhoill.

From Friday, more frequent antigen tests will be carried out, extra attendance at weddings will be allowed, nightclubs will be reopened and vaccine boosters will be made available - among other policies.

Ón Aoine, déanfar tástálacha antaigine níos minice, ceadófar tinreamh breise ag bainiseacha, osclófar clubanna oíche arís agus cuirfear teanndáileoga den vacsaín ar fáil - i measc beartas eile.

If fully vaccinated people are included as close contacts, they will be sent a rapid antigen test by post.

Má áirítear daoine atá iomlán vacsaínithe mar dhlúth-theagmhálaithe, seolfar mearthástáil antaigine chucu tríd an bpost.

If that test is positive, they will be subjected to a more sophisticated test, namely a polymerase chain reaction test.

Má bhíonn toradh deimhneach ar an tástáil sin, déanfar tástáil níos sofaisticiúla orthu, mar atá, tástáil um imoibriú slabhrúil polaiméaráise.

People must always show their vaccination certificates before being admitted to indoor venues - including cafes, restaurants and pubs - and outdoor venues.

Caithfidh daoine a dteastais vacsaínithe a thaispeáint i gcónaí sula ligfear isteach iad in ionaid taobh istigh - caifí, bialanna agus tithe tábhairne ina measc - agus in ionaid taobh amuigh.

The Government is urging the owners of these areas to better enforce the rules governing the vaccination certificate.

Tá an Rialtas ag iarraidh ar úinéirí na n- áiteanna sin na rialacha a bhaineann leis an teastas vacsaínithe a chur i bhfeidhm níos fearr.

No more than ten adults will be allowed to sit at the same table in restaurants and pubs.

Ní bheidh cead ag níos mó ná deichniúr daoine fásta suí ag an mbord céanna i mbialanna agus i dtithe tábhairne.

Fifteen people will be allowed if they include children.

Cúig dhuine dhéag a cheadófar má tá páistí ina measc.

Pubs will not yet be permitted to sit or stand at the counter.

Ní bheidh cead go fóill suí ná seasamh ag an gcuntar i dtithe tábhairne.

Indoor group activities, which involve a mixture of vaccinated and unvaccinated people, must be separated and placed in small groups.

Maidir le gníomhaíochtaí grúpaí taobh istigh, nuair is meascán de dhaoine vacsaínithe agus neamhvacsaínithe atá i gceist, caithfear iad a scaradh óna chéile agus a gcur i ngrúpaí beaga.

A maximum of six will be allowed in these minority groups.

Seisear ar a mhéid a cheadófar sna mionghrúpaí seo.

There will be no limit to attendance at group activities.

Ní bheidh aon teorainn le tinreamh in áiteanna a bhfuil gníomhaíochtaí grúpaí ar bun.

Attendance at weddings, religious events and sporting events will no longer be limited.

Ní bheidh aon teorainn feasta ach oiread leis an tinreamh ag bainiseacha, ag ócáidí creidimh ná ag imeachtaí spóirt.

People must always wear masks in indoor venues,

Primary school in Wexford closed due to Covid-19 outbreak.

Bunscoil i Loch Garman dúnta mar gheall ar ráig covid 19.

A primary school in Wexford has closed due to a Covid-19 outbreak there.

Tá bunscoil i Loch Garman dúnta mar gheall ar ráig covid 19 ansin.

The disease was recently contracted by 30 people at Green Brothers Primary School on Green Street in Wexford town.

30 duine i mBunscoil na mBráithe Críostaí ar Shráid na Faiche i mbaile Loch Garman a tholg an galar le gairid.

The school will be closed until the mid-term break is over but students will be able to learn online at home in the meantime.

Beidh an scoil dúnta go mbeidh an briseadh lár téarma caite ach gheobhaidh na daltaí foghlaim ar líne sa bhaile idir dhá linn.

Principal Vicky Barron said the outbreak in the school shows that the instructions given by the Health Service Executive to schools are grossly flawed.

Dúirt an príomhoide Vicky Barron go léiríonn an ráig sa scoil go bhfuil na treoracha atá tugtha ag Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte do scoileanna thar a bheith lochtach.

Ten days ago - on October 8 - the first case of the disease in school came to light, she said, and it was confirmed over the next three days that several other students in the same class had contracted the disease.

Deich lá ó shin - ar an 8 Deireadh Fómhair - a tháinig an chéad chás den ghalar sa scoil chun solais, a dúirt sí, agus dearbhaíodh i gcaitheamh na dtrí lá ina dhiaidh sin go raibh an galar tolgtha ag roinnt daltaí eile sa rang céanna.

On October 12, the Health Service Executive decided to include all the children in that class as close contacts but was told that their siblings could continue to come to school.

Ar an 12 Deireadh Fómhair, chinn Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte na leanaí ar fad sa rang sin a áireamh mar dhlúth-theagmhálaithe ach dúradh go bhféadfadh a gcuid siblíní leanacht orthu ag teacht chun na scoile.

In the days that followed, according to the principal, nineteen other students in the class contracted the disease, including the siblings of close contacts.

Sna laethanta ina dhiaidh sin, dar leis an bpríomhoide, tholg naoi ndalta dhéag eile sa rang an galar, siblíní na ndlúth-theagmhálaithe ina measc.

Vicky Barron said it is worrying that siblings are not included as close contacts according to the instructions.

Dúirt Vicky Barron gur údar imní nach n-áirítear siblíní mar dhlúth-theagmhálaithe de réir na dtreoracha.

She also pointed out that the school is having difficulty getting enough air into the area and that the carbon dioxide monitors provided by the Department of Education are not enough.

Thug sí le fios chomh maith go bhfuil deacrachtaí ag an scoil dóthain aeir a ligean isteach san áit agus nach leor na monatóirí dé-ocsaíde carbóin a thug an Roinn Oideachais dóibh.

It is also not enough, she argued, to keep windows open to prevent the spread of Covid-19 throughout the school.

Ní leor ach oiread, a mhaígh sí, fuinneoga a choinneáil oscailte le leathadh covid 19 ar fud na scoile a chosc.

Music chief Paddy Moloney buried in the clay of the cell.

An taoiseach ceoil Paddy Moloney curtha i gcré na cille.

One of Ireland 's leading traditional musicians - Paddy Moloney - who passed away last Tuesday at the age of three and forty - was buried in Co Wicklow today.

Adhlacadh i gCo Chill Mhantáin inniu duine de mhórphearsana cheol traidisiúnta na hÉireann - Paddy Moloney - a cailleadh Dé Máirt seo caite in aois a thrí bliana agus ceithre scór.

President Michael D Higgins and the Irish musicians were among the funerals at the Mass of Remembrance in St. Kevin's Church in Glendalough.

Bhí an tUachtaran Michael D Higgins agus aos ceoil Éireann i measc na sochraideach ag an Aifreann éagnairce i Séipéal Chaoimhín i nGleann Dá Loch.

The main celebrant of the Mass, Father Éamonn Crossan, said that although his family was about to die on Sunday, his music will last forever.

Dúirt príomhcheiliúraí an Aifrinn, an tAthair Éamonn Crossan, cé gur dursan lena theaghlach dul in éag an Mhaoldomhnaigh gur buan a mhairfeas a chuid ceoil.

An uilleann pipe and whistle were brought to the altar in remembrance of the man whose athletic symphonies were called and called back home and far away.

Tugadh píb uilleann agus feadóg chun na haltóra mar chuimneacháin ar an bhfear a raibh glaoch agus glaoch ar ais i mbaile agus i gcéin ar shiansaí a lúthmhéaraíochta.

There was also a photo of Paddy Moloney as an adult on the altar to remind people that early in his life he turned to music and started plowing the piper's field.

Bhí grianghraf de Phaddy Moloney agus é ina aosánach ar an altóir freisin le meabhrú do dhaoine gur luath ina shaol a chrom sé ar an gceol agus a thosaigh sé ag treabhadh ghort an phíobaire.

His son Aonghus said from the lecture that while music was the bottom and top of his father's life he was also a housekeeper and floor man who was loyal to his wife, children and grandchildren.

Dúirt a mhac Aonghus ón léachtán cé gurbh é an ceol bun agus barr shaol a athar gur fear tí agus urláir é chomh maith a bhí dílis dá bhean, dá chlann agus do chlann a chlainne.

He was also a man who preferred to express himself through his music rather than through word of mouth, Aonghus said.

B'fhear é freisin arbh fhearr leis é féin a chur in iúl trína chuid ceoil seachas trí bhriathra béil, a dúirt Aonghus.

Paddy Moloney had a masterpiece on the uilleann pipe and flute, and achieved international fame as a member of the Chieftains, a band he formed almost three decades ago.

Bhí sárcheird ag Paddy Moloney ar an bpíb uilleann agus ar an bhfeadóg, agus bhain sé cáil idirnáisiúnta amach mar bhall de na Chieftains, buíon cheoil a thug sé le chéile beagnach trí scór bliain ó shin.

A list to be reckoned with are the awards presented over the years to that team led by Taoiseach Paddy Moloney.

Liosta le háireamh is ea na gradaim a bronnadh i gcaitheamh na mblianta ar an bhfoireann sin faoi stiúir an taoisigh Paddy Moloney.

Paddy Moloney was buried in the cell of Kevin 's holy chair in Glendalough.

Cuireadh Paddy Moloney i gcré na cille i gcathaoir naofa Chaoimhín i nGleann Dá Loch.

He is survived by his wife Rita, their two sons Aengus and Patrick, and their daughter Aedin.

Maireann a bhean chéile Rita, a mbeirt mhac Aonghus agus Pádraig, agus a n-iníon Aedín.

The great Irish poet Máire Mhac an tSaoi on the way to the truth.

An mórfhile Gaeilge Máire Mhac an tSaoi ar shlí na fírinne.

Leading poet Máire Mhac an tSaoi has died.

Tá an file mór le rá Máire Mhac an tSaoi tar éis bháis.

She was 99 years old - the same age as the State, as she herself ends up.

Bhí sí 99 bliain d'aois - ar aon aois leis an Stát, mar a deireadh sí féin.

Máire Mhac an tSaoi was one of the most important Irish language poets of the second half of the last century.

Bhí Máire Mhac an tSaoi ar dhuine de na filí Gaeilge ba thábhachtaí sa dara leath den chéad seo caite.

Although she has been writing since her youth, her first collection of poetry, Margadh na Saoire, was not published until 1956.

Cé go raibh sí i mbun pinn óna hóige níor foilsíodh an chéad chnuasach filíochta léi, Margadh na Saoire, go dtí an bhliain 1956.

The work was highly praised, especially the love - or sexuality - poem Ceathrúintí Mháire Ní Ógáin, which shows from the first quarter how polished, clear and concise the poet was able to express feelings as she drew on the tradition native: "But if I were caught out of this number - And God did not allow that for a long time - Perhaps the remembrance Of what I found of peace in my arms will serve" ...

Moladh an saothar go hard, go háirithe an dán grá - nó collaíochta - Ceathrúintí Mháire Ní Ógáin, ar léir ón gcéad cheathrú chomh snasta, soiléir agus gonta agus a bhí an file in ann mothcháin a chur in iúl agus í ag tarraingt ar an traidisiún dúchais i gcónaí: "Ach a mbead gafa as an líon so – Is nár lige Dia gur fada san – B'fhéidir go bhfónfaidh cuimhneamh Ar a bhfuaireas de shuaimhneas id bhaclainn" ...

Her life 's published anthologies include The Warrior' s Sleep (1973), The Depression (1980) and The Offense to Date (1987).

Tá Codladh an Ghaiscígh (1973), An Galar Dubhach (1980) agus An Cion go dtí Seo (1987) i measc na nduanairí eile léi a foilsíodh i gcaitheamh a saoil.

Máire Mac an tSaoi was born in Dublin.

I mBaile Átha Cliath a rugadh Máire Mhac an tSaoi.

His father, Belfast native Seán Mac an tSaoi, took part in the Easter Rising.

Ghlac a hathair, an Béal Feirsteach Seán Mac an tSaoi, páirt in Éirí Amach na Cásca.

He was one of the founders of Fianna Fáil and was Minister for Finance in the De Valera Government.

Duine de bhunaitheoirí Fhianna Fáil a bhí ann agus bhí sé ina Aire Airgeadais i Rialtas De Valera.

Her uncle, the Magistrate Pádraig de Brún, was a prominent Irish scholar, and she spent much of her youth in her house in Dún Chaoin.

Scoláire Gaeilge mór le rá ab ea a huncail, an Moinsínseoir Pádraig de Brún, agus chaith sí go leor dá hóige ina theachsa i nDún Chaoin.

Máire Mhac an tSaoi was a versatile poet.

Éigseach ildánach a bhí Máire Mhac an tSaoi.

In addition to her own anthology, she published academic material on Irish poetry in the seventeenth century (1946) and on the similarities between Irish and classical Greek poetry (1988).

Chomh maith lena duanaireacht féin, d'fhoilsigh sí ábhar acadúil ar fhilíocht na nGael sa seachtú haois déag (1946) agus ar na cosúlachtaí idir fhilíocht na Gaeilge agus fhilíocht chlasaiceach na Gréige (1988).

She was awarded the O'Shaugnessy Prize for her poetry in 1988.

Bronnadh Gradam O'Shaugnessy uirthi as a cuid filíochta i 1988.

She has always been interested in the personalities of the poets and has written short novels about Piers Ferret and Gerald Earl over the years.

Bhí suim aici riamh i bpearsana na bhfilí agus scríobh sí úrscéalta gairide faoi Phiaras Feiritéar agus Ghearóid Iarla agus í amach sna blianta.

Máire Mhac an tSaoi qualified as a barrister and was the first woman i...

Let us remember today children with language disorders.

Cuimhnímis inniu ar leanaí a bhfuil neamhord teanga orthu.

Today is International Language Development Disorder Awareness Day.

Inniu Lá Feasachta Idirnáisiúnta ar Neamhord Forbartha Teanga.

This disorder interferes with a young person 's academic development and is estimated to affect 7% of the world' s children.

Cuireann an neamhord seo isteach ar fhorás acadúil an duine óig agus áirítear é a bheith ar 7 faoin gcéad de leanaí an domhain.

While this is great, Language Development Disorder is not very common.

Cé gur mór an méid sin, níl Neamhord Forbartha Teanga i mbéal an phobail.

In fact, it was not given international recognition until 2017.

Go deimhin, níor tugadh aitheantas idirnáisiúnta dó go dtí a bhliain 2017.

Since then, fortunately, global awareness day for children is celebrated at this time of year every year.

Ó shin, ar an dea-uair, ceiliúrtar lá feasachta domhanda ar son na leanaí an tráth seo den bhliain gach uile bhliain.

Thirteen-year-old Robert Mockler, who lives in Saggart House in south-west Dublin, has a Language Developmental Disorder.

Tá Neamhord Forbartha Teanga ar Robert Mockler atá trí bliana déag d'aois agus a bhfuil cónaí air i dTeach Sagard in iardheisceart Bhaile Átha Cliath.

He entered his first year of high school this year.

Chuaigh sé isteach sa chéad bhliain sa mheánscoil i mbliana.

“It’s a disorder that a person has had all his life,” his mother Brenda told us today.

"Is neamhord é a bhíonn ar dhuine a shaol ar fad," a dúirt a mháthair Brenda linn inniu.

"It 's not about a lack of intellectual ability.

"Ní bhaineann sé le heaspa cumais intleachtúil.

It is all very common, so common that it often remains hidden.

Tá sé an-choitianta ar fad, chomh coitianta sin go bhfanann sé faoi cheilt go minic.

If there were thirty children in a school class, two of them would have the disorder. "

Dá mbeadh tríocha páiste i rang scoile, bheadh an neamhord ar bheirt acu."

Robert himself told us that he has difficulty processing words in his mind and that this creates problems for him, for example, in maths.

Dúirt Robert é féin linn go mbíonn deacrachtaí aige focail a phróiseáil ina aigne agus go gcruthaíonn sé seo fadhbanna dó, cuir i gcás, sa mhata.

“Math has a lot of words when you go into high school,” he said.

"Tá go leor focal ag baint le mata nuair a théann tú isteach sa mheánscoil", a dúirt sé.

"For example, 'if a train is going at speed X how long will it take to go Y kilometers?' him.

"Mar shampla, 'má tá traein ag dul ag luas X cé mhéad ama a ghlacfaidh sé le dul Y ciliméadar?'" Lán béil de bhriathra an méid sin d'aon duine, gan trácht ar an té a bhfuil Neamhord Forbartha Teanga ag gabháil dó.

Brenda said Robert did not get a chance during the pandemic to avail of vital services and that his exam results were worse when he finished primary school than ever before.

Dúirt Brenda nach bhfuair Robert faill le linn na paindéime le leas a bhaint as seirbhísí fíorthábhachtacha agus go raibh a chuid torthaí scrúdaithe níos measa nuair a chríochaigh sé sa bhunscoil ná mar a bhí siad riamh roimhe sin.

That discouraged them, she said, after putting in the hard work as a family over the years.

Chuir sin lagmhisneach orthu, a dúirt sí, i ndiaidh dóibh an obair chrua a chur isteach mar theaghlach i gcaitheamh na mblianta.

A man caught killing five people with a bow and arrows in Norway.

Fear gafa faoi chúigear a mharú le bogha agus saigheada san Iorua.

Police in Norway are questioning a 37-year-old man about killing five people with a bow and arrows in the southern town of Kongsberg yesterday.

Tá fear 37 bliain d'aois á cheistiú ag póilíní san Iorua faoi chúigear a mharú le bogha agus saigheada i mbaile Kongsberg i ndeisceart na tíre inné.

The man who was converted to Muslim was of Danish origin.

De bhunadh na Danmhairge an fear a bhí tiontaithe ina Mhoslamach.

He was reportedly being watched by the police for some time since it became clear he was addicted to religious extremism.

Tuairiscítear go raibh na póilíní ag coimhéad air le tamall ó ba léir go raibh sé tugtha don antoisceachas creidimh.

Arrows were fired at people in various parts of the town yesterday evening.

Caitheadh saigheada le daoine in áiteanna éagsúla ar an mbaile tráthnóna inné.

In addition to the five killed, two were injured.

Chomh maith leis an gcúigear a maraíodh, gortaíodh beirt.

The assailant and the man on the run from the police lasted about half an hour.

Thart ar leathuair an chloig a mhair an feallionsaí agus an fear ar a theitheadh ó na póilíní.

One of the two injured was a policeman.

Bhí póilin ar dhuine den bheirt a gortaíodh.

Apparently, at this point, no one else was involved in the attack.

Is cosúil, ag an tráth seo, nach raibh raibh aon duine eile páirteach san ionsaí.

The number of students eligible for grants has fallen again.

Líon na mac léinn atá i dteideal deontais tite arís.

The number of third - level students eligible for a State grant continues to fall, although college attendance is on the rise, according to the latest information received by RTÉ.

Tá líon na mac léinn tríú leibhéal atá i dteideal deontais ón Stát ag titim i gcónaí cé go bhfuil an líon daoine a théann ar an gcoláiste ag ardú, de réir na faisnéise is deireanaí atá faighte ag RTÉ.

Last year, 79,000 students were eligible for a grant from the State organization that administers the system - Student Union of Ireland (TCMLÉ).

Anuraidh, 79,000 mac léinn a bhí i dteideal deontas a fháil ón eagraíocht Stáit a riarann an córas - Tacaíocht Chomhchoiteann do Mhic Léinn in Éirinn (TCMLÉ).

That's 7% less than in 2015, when 85,000 students were eligible for grants.

Sin 7 faoin gcéad níos lú ná sa bhliain 2015, tráth a bhí 85,000 mac léinn i dteideal deontais.

Between 2015 and 2020, however, the number of people going to college increased by 17%.

Idir 2015 agus 2020, áfach, bhí méadú 17 faoin gcéad ar an líon daoine a bhí ag dul ar an gcoláiste.

Conversely, the number of people applying for a grant fell from 108,000 in 2015 to 95,000 this year.

Os a choinne sin, bhí ísliú ar an líon daoine a rinne iarratas ar dheontas ó 108,000 in 2015 go 95,000 i mbliana.

This is apparently because parents' salaries have been raised in the meantime but the income threshold has not been raised by TCMLÉ accordingly.

Sin mar gheall, is cosúil, go bhfuil tuarastail tuismitheoirí ardaithe idir an dá linn ach nach bhfuil an tairseach ioncaim ardaithe ag TCMLÉ dá réir.

It was announced in the Budget yesterday that the revenue threshold will be raised from € 39,875 to almost € 41,000 from next year.

Fógraíodh sa Bhuiséad arú inné go n-ardófar an tairseach ioncaim ó €39,875 go beagnach €41,000 ón mbliain seo chugainn.

However, the Irish Students' Union says that it is not enough and that it is very disappointing for students who are in difficulty.

Deir Aontas na Mac Léinn in Éirinn, áfach, nach leor é agus gur údar mór díomá é do scoláirí atá i gcruachás.

So far this year, 71,500 students have been awarded grants.

Go dtí seo i mbliana, tugadh deontas do 71,500 scoláire.

Thousands more are still waiting for news.

Tá na mílte eile fós ag fanacht le scéala.
