Cúigear cúisithe faoi dhúnmharú Éireannaigh sa tSeoirsia.

Police in Ireland are investigating the death of a man of Irish descent in Georgia.

Tá bás fir de bhunadh na hÉireann sa tSeoirsia á fhiosrú ag póilíní sa tír sin.

The body of 28-year-old Thomas Kennedy was found on the banks of a river in the Gori region last Friday.

Béal an Átha, Co Mhaigh Eo, an áit dheireanach in Éirinn a raibh cónaí ar Thomas Kennedy sula ndeachaigh sé chun na Seoirsia.

He was born in Manchester, England and raised in the home of his grandparents in Ireland.

I Manchain i Sasana a rugadh é agus i dteach a sheanmhuintire in Éirinn a hoileadh é.

He was known for his music and spent some time as a street performer while in college in Cork.

Bhí sé gairthe as a chuid ceoil agus chaith sé seal ina oirfideach sráide nuair a bhí sé ar an gcoláiste i gCorcaigh.

Police in Georgia say Thomas Kennedy was drinking in a concourse of others in an inn when they fell out.

Deir na póilíní sa tSeoirsia go raibh Thomas Kennedy ag ól i gcuibhreann daoine eile i dteach ósta nuair a d'éirigh eatarthu.

Police say the Irishman was stabbed and thrown into the river when he was insane and unfeeling.

Dar leis na póilíní gur bascadh an tÉireannach agus gur caitheadh san abhainn é nuair a bhí sé gan mheabhair gan mhothú.

Five have been arrested and four have been charged with premeditated murder.

Gabhadh cúigear agus tá ceathar acu cúisithe i ndúnmharú réamhbheartaithe.

A fifth person has been charged with withholding information about the incident.

Tá an cúigiú duine cúisithe faoi eolas ar an eachtra a choinneáil faoi cheilt.

The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust is helping the Thomas Kennedy family bring his body back to Mayo.

Tá Iontaobhas Aisdúichithe Kevin Bell ag cuidiú le teaghlach Thomas Kennedy a chorp a thabhairt ar ais go Maigh Eo.

Taoiseach doubts on lifting Covid-19 restrictions.

Amhras ar an Taoiseach faoi dheireadh a chur le srianta covid 19.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin said in the evening that he cannot promise that the Covid-19 restrictions will be lifted on October 22 as planned.

Dúirt an Taoiseach Micheál Martin tráthnóna nach féidir leis gealltanas a thabhairt go gcuirfear deireadh le srianta covid 19 ar an 22 Deireadh Fómhair mar atá beartaithe.

A decision on the matter will be made early next week, he said.

Déanfar cinneadh faoin scéal i dtús na seachtaine seo chugainn, a dúirt sé.

The Taoiseach claimed that what the Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Dr Ronan Glynn, had said earlier today was "serious."

Mhaígh an Taoiseach go raibh an méid a dúirt an LeasPhríomh-Oifigeach Leighis, an Dr Rónán Glynn, níos túisce inniu "tromchúiseach."

The situation is dire, Micheál Martin said, and the number of Covid-19 cases has risen sharply.

Tá droch-chor sa scéal, a dúirt Micheál Martin, agus líon na gcásanna covid 19 tar éis ardú go tobann.

He indicated that the Government wants to see more information so that they can consider the situation.

Thug sé le fios go dteastaíonn ón Rialtas tuilleadh faisnéise a fheiceáil le go ndéanfaidh siad a machnamh ar an scéal.

The public needs to realize that the disease is not yet over and we must continue to tackle it, says the Taoiseach.

Ní mór don phobal a thuiscint nach bhfuil an galar cloíte fós agus go gcaithfimid dul i dtreis leis i gcónaí, arsa an Taoiseach.

Currently, it is planned to abolish on October 22 the rules for social separation and wear masks outside and in private places inside.

Faoi láthair, tá sé i gceist deireadh a chur ar an 22 Deireadh Fómhair leis na rialacha a bhaineann le scaradh sóisialta agus maisc a chaitheamh taobh amuigh agus in áiteanna príobháideacha taobh istigh.

Hundreds protest at The Cobblestone in Smithfield.

Na céadta i mbun agóide ag The Cobblestone i Margadh na Feirme.

Hundreds gathered today outside The Cobblestone in the Smithfield in Dublin.

Bhí na céadta bailithe le chéile inniu taobh amuigh de The Cobblestone i Margadh na Feirme i mBaile Átha Cliath.

They were protesting against an application made for planning permission to build a hotel near the famous pub.

I mbun agóide a bhí siad i gcoinne iarratais atá déanta ar chead pleanála chun óstán a thógáil in aice leis an teach tábhairne cáiliúil.

The Cobblestone is owned by the Mulligan Family.

Is le Muintir Mulligan The Cobblestone.

But the license is theirs alone, not the building.

Ach is leosan an ceadúnas amháin, ní an foirgneamh.

Now, a company called Marron Estates Limited has applied to build a nine- storey, 114-room hotel.

Anois, tá iarratas déanta ag comhlacht darb ainm dó Marron Estates Limited chun óstán naoi n-úrlár a thógáil, ina mbeidh 114 seomra.

They do not intend to lay the basic structure of The Cobblestone.

Níl sé i gceist acu bunstruchtúr The Cobblestone a leagadh.

It is a protected building and they would not be allowed to do so.

Is foirgneamh cosanta atá ann agus ní bheadh cead acu a leithéid a dhéanamh.

But Marron Estates Limited is looking to demolish all the extra space the Mulligan family has added to the bar over the years.

Ach tá Marron Estates Limited ag iarraidh an spás breise ar fad atá curtha ag Muintir Mulligan leis an mbeár thar na blianta a leagadh.

"Up to 70% of the extra space added would be set aside as an extension; the bar at the back of the house, for example, and the place where people smoke," says Maeve Mulligan, daughter of pub owner Tom Mulligan .

"Leagfaí suas le 70 faoin gcéad den spás breise atá curtha leis an áit mar shíneadh; an beár ar chúl an tí, mar shampla, agus an áit a gcaitheann daoine toitíní", a deir Méabh Mulligan, iníon le huinéir an tí tábhairne, Tom Mulligan.

25,000 people have already signed a petition against the application.

Tá 25,000 duine i ndiaidh a n-ainm a shíniú ar achainí cheana féin i gcoinne an iarratais.

"The Cobblestone has a very special place in the culture of this city and we would be poorer without it," says Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin, one of the organizers of the protest today.

"Tá áit fíor-speisialta ag The Cobblestone i gcultúr na cathrach seo agus bheadh muid níos boichte dá uireasa", a deir Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin, duine de lucht eagraithe na hagóide inniu.

"Hotels are being built all over the city and they have no heart or soul.

"Tá óstáin á dtógáil ar fud na cathrach agus níl croí ná anam acu.

The public has until November 4 to make a submission to Dublin City Council if they are not happy with the plans. "

Tá go dtí 4 Samhain ag an bpobal aighneacht a chur faoi bhráid Chomhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath mura bhfuil siad sásta leis na pleananna."

Marron Estates director Colin Marron says they intend The Cobblestone will continue; that they understand its cultural value.

Deir stiúrthóir Marron Estates, Colin Marron, go bhfuil sé i gceist acu go leanfaidh The Cobblestone ar aghaidh; go dtuigeann siad an luach cultúrtha atá ag baint leis.

"We intend to build the extension we set again, and it will be even better, than it is now."

"Tá sé i gceist againn an síneadh a leagfaidh muid a thógáil arís, agus beidh sé níos fearr, fiú, ná mar atá sé anois."

But Thomas Mulligan, the owner's son, is not happy with the reconstruction plans.

Ach níl Tomás Mulligan, mac leis an úinéir, sásta leis na pleananna atógála.

“This place has character,” he says.

Dissatisfaction expressed in Mayo over Bank of Ireland decision.

Míshástacht á léiriú i Maigh Eo faoi chinneadh Bhanc na hÉireann.

People gathered in Ballyhaunis, County Mayo today to protest against the decision to close Bank of Ireland - the town's bank.

Bhailigh daoine le chéile i mBéal Átha hAmhnais i gContae Mhaigh Eo inniu mar agóid i gcoinnibh chinneadh Bhanc na hÉireann - an banc ar an mbaile - a dhúnadh.

1/3 (88) of the bank's branches nationwide are closed today.

Tá 1/3+ (88) de bhrainsí an bhainc ar fud na tíre dúnta inniu.

The bank is working on a rationalization and savings program but today in this rural town, business people and others have expressed their dissatisfaction.

Clár cuíchóirithe agus sábháilt airgid atá i gceist ag an mbanc ach léirigh lucht gnó agus daoine nach iad a mishástacht inniu sa mbaile tuaithe seo.

The nearest bank is now in Claremorris, or Castlerea about 20 kilometers from home.

I gClár Chlainne Mhuiris, nó ar an gCaisleán Riabhach tuairim is 20 ciliméadar ón mbaile atá an banc is congaraí anois .

Bank of Ireland says the new arrangement will help more than 900 Post Offices across the country - help people - lodge and withdraw money - locally - over the counter but this is of little consolation to people who have collected in Belfast. Today.

Deir Banc na nÉireann go gcabhróidh an socrú nua atá déanta le breis is 900 Oifig Poist ar fuaid na tíre - le daoine - airgead a lóisteáil agus a aistharraingt - go háitiúil- thairis an cuntar ach is beag sólás é sin do dhaoine a bhailigh i mBéal Átha hAmhnais inniu.

Locals are seeking an urgent meeting with local politicians and representatives to set out a plan for the future.

Tá muintir na dúiche ag lorg cruinniú práinneach le polaiteoirí agus le hiondaithe áitiúla chun plean a leagan amach don todhchaí.

Irish language act to be passed in Westminster, but not to mention deadline.

Acht Gaeilge le rith i Westminster, ach gan lua ar spriocdháta.

It was confirmed today that the British Government intends to pass legislation on Irish language rights in the North in Westminster, although no deadline has been mentioned.

Dearbhaíodh inniu go bhfuil rún ag Rialtas na Breataine reachtaíocht maidir le cearta Gaeilge sa Tuaisceart a rith i Westminster, cé nár luadh aon spriocdhátá.

The British Government promised in the summer to pass the Irish language act in Westminster after Sinn Féin had indicated that they would not join the Stormont Executive again due to the DUP dragging its feet on the issue.

Gheall Rialtas na Breataine sa samhradh an t-acht Gaeilge a rith i Westminster tar éis do Shinn Féin a chur in iúl nach nglacfaidís páirt arís i bhFeidhmeannas Stormont de bharr an DUP a bheith ag tarraingt na gcos faoin gceist.

Northern Secretary of State Brandon Lewis at the time said the legislation would be introduced sometime in October.

Dúirt Stát-Rúnaí an Tuaiscirt Brandon Lewis ag an am go dtabharfaí isteach an reachtaíocht uair éigin i mí Dheireadh Fómhair.

A spokesman for the British Government said today that it was disappointing that the legislation had not already been passed in Stormont despite all parties accepting its contents in January last year.

Dúirt urlabhraí ó Rialtas na Breataine inniu gur údar díomá nach bhfuil an reachtaíocht rite cheana féin i Stormont ainneoin gur ghlac na páirtithe ar fad lena bhfuil inti i mí Eanáir anuraidh.

This is legislation that recognizes the diversity of the North and serves the culture and language of all people equally, the spokesman said.

Reachtaíocht í seo a thugann aitheantas d'ilghnéitheacht an Tuaiscirt agus a dhéanann friotháil chothrom ar chultúr agus ar theanga gach duine, a dúirt an t-urlabhraí.

However, the legislation is a source of disagreement in the DUP.

Tá an reachtaíocht ina húdar easaontais sa DUP, áfach.

That party is demanding that the legislation not be introduced until the issue of the Northern Protocol is resolved.

Tá an páirtí sin ag éileamh gan an reachtaíocht a thabhairt isteach go dtí go réiteofaí ceist Phrótacal an Tuaiscirt.

15% tax rate to be levied on 1,500 foreign companies.

Ráta cánach 15 faoin gcéad le gearradh feasta ar 1,500 comhlacht eachtrach.

The Government this afternoon adopted an international agreement under which the corporation tax rate in this country will be increased from 12.5% to 15% for companies with a turnover in excess of € 750 million a year.

Ghlac an Rialtas tráthnóna le comhaontú idirnáisiúnta faoina n-ardófar an ráta cánach corparáide sa tír seo ó 12.5 faoin gcéad go 15 faoin gcéad do chomhlachtaí a mbíonn láimhdeachas os cionn €750 milliún sa bhliain acu.

130 countries and jurisdictions have so far signed the agreement but Ireland is one of nine countries to date that have not signed up.

Tá an comhaontú sínithe ag 130 tír agus dlínse go nuige seo ach tá Éire ar cheann de naoi dtír go dtí inniu nár chuir a n-ainm leis.

One of the aims of the agreement, it is said, is to prevent huge multinational companies from avoiding tax.

Ceann d'aidhmeanna an chomhaontaithe, a deirtear, bac a chur ar chomhlachtaí ollmhóra ilnáisiúnta cáin a sheachaint.

At an afternoon press conference, Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe indicated that he had called for amendments to the agreement on behalf of this country.

Ag preasócáid tráthnóna, thug an tAire Airgeadais Paschal Donohoe le fios gur iarr sé leasuithe ar an gcomhaontú ar son na tíre seo.

The 15% rate will now be charged to 1,500 foreign companies based in Ireland and employing approximately 400,000 people in this country.

Gearrfar an ráta 15 faoin gcéad feasta ar 1,500 comhlacht eachtrach a bhfuil ionaid acu in Éirinn agus a bhfuil thart ar 400,000 duine fostaithe acu sa tír seo.

The 12.5% rate will continue to be charged to 160,000 businesses employing 1.8 million people in Ireland.

Is é an ráta 12.5 faoin gcéad a ghearrfar i gcónaí ar 160,000 gnólacht a bhfuil 1.8 milliún duine ag obair dóibh in Éirinn.

The 15% rate will also be charged to 56 Irish companies employing around 100,000 people.

Gearrfar an ráta 15 faoin gcéad freisin ar 56 comhlacht Éireannach a bhfuil thart 100,000 duine fostaithe acu.

"We have not achieved a goal in relation to the Irish language" - RTÉ.

"Níor bhaineamar sprioc amach i dtaca leis an nGaeilge" - RTÉ.

"We accept that we have not met our commitments on the Irish language," RTÉ Director General Dee Forbes told a Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Irish Language today.

"Glacaimid leis nár bhaineamar sprioc amach ó thaobh ár gcuid gealltanas i leith na Gaeilge," a dúirt Ard-Stiúrthóir RTÉ Dee Forbes ag éisteacht de Chomhchoiste Oireachtais na Gaeilge inniu.

She was responding to a question from TD Catherine Connolly who asked the Director General whether she accepted that RTÉ had breached the law in relation to Irish language television programs as stated by An Coimisinéir Teanga Rónán Ó Domhnaill in a report which it was published two years ago.

Ag tabhairt freagra a bhí sí ar cheist ón Teachta Dála Catherine Connolly a d'fhiafraigh den Ard-Stiúrthóir ar ghlac sí leis gur sháraigh RTÉ an dlí i dtaca le cláir theilifíse Ghaeilge mar a mhaígh an Coimisinéir Teanga Rónán Ó Domhnaill i dtuarascáil a d'fhoilsigh sé dhá bhliain ó shin.

Catherine Connolly told Dee Forbes that RTÉ had marginalized the Irish language and that the organization did not make proper use of bilingual staff to broadcast more material in Irish.

Dúirt Catherine Connolly le Dee Forbes go raibh imeallú déanta ag RTÉ ar an nGaeilge agus nach mbaineann an eagraíocht leas mar is ceart as baill foirne atá dátheangach chun tuilleadh ábhair i nGaeilge a chraoladh.

However, Niamh Ní Churnáin, RTÉ 's Irish Language Group Leader, told Catherine Connolly that there are also many broadcasters in the organization who are not bilingual.

Dúirt Niamh Ní Churnáin, Grúpcheannasaí Gaeilge RTÉ, le Catherine Connolly, áfach, go bhfuil neart craoltóirí san eagraíocht chomh maith nach bhfuil dátheangach.

Nevertheless, said the Group Leader, great efforts are being made to increase the amount of Irish language broadcast on RTÉ.

Ina ainneoin sin, a dúirt an Grúpcheannasaí, táthar ag déanamh iarrachtaí móra cur leis an méid Gaeilge a chraoltar ar RTÉ.

However, Catherine Connolly did not accept that response, and told Niamh Ní Churnáin that RTÉ has no choice but to increase the amount of Irish language broadcast as the organization has a statutory duty to promote the language.

Ní raibh aon ghlacadh ag Catherine Connolly leis an bhfreagra sin, áfach, agus dúirt sí le Niamh Ní Churnáin nach bhfuil aon rogha ag RTÉ ach cur leis an méid Gaeilge a chraoltar mar go bhfuil dualgas reachtúil ar an eagraíocht an teanga a chur chun cinn.

Earlier, in an opening statement she read on behalf of RTÉ, Niamh Ní Churnáin said that the Irish language is "the top and bottom of everything we do".

Roimhe sin, i ráiteas oscailte a léigh sí thar ceann RTÉ, dúirt Niamh Ní Churnáin gur "bun agus barr gach a ndéanaimid" í an Ghaeilge.

She claimed that things had improved greatly since the publication of Rónáin Uí Dhomhnaill's report, which was published in 2019 but related to the year 2017.

Mhaígh sí go raibh feabhas mór tagtha ar chúrsaí ó tháinig tuarascáil Rónáin Uí Dhomhnaill amach, tuarascáil a foilsíodh in 2019 ach a bhain leis an mbliain 2017.

Niamh Ní Churnáin confirmed that RTÉ is currently preparing a new Irish language plan in conjunction with An Coimisinéir Teanga in relation to fulfilling the organization 's duties.

Dhearbhaigh Niamh Ní Churnáin go bhfuil plean nua Gaeilge á réiteach ag RTÉ faoi láthair i gcomhar leis an gCoimisinéir Teanga maidir le dualgais na heagraíochta a chomhlíonadh.

Catherine Connolly expressed her dissatisfaction with Dee Forbes in relation to two recent television programs broadcast in English despite the fact that these were Irish language topics,
