Ryan hopes for new corporation tax contract.

Dóchas ag Ryan faoi chonradh nua cánach corparáide.

Minister for Transport, Environment, Climate and Communications Éamon Ryan has said he is hopeful that this country will join a new international tax agreement.

Dúirt an tAire Iompair, Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide Éamon Ryan go bhfuil dóchas aige go mbeidh an tír seo páirteach i gcomhaontú nua idirnáisiúnta cánach.

Éamon Ryan has indicated that the Government will make a final decision on the matter tomorrow.

Thug Éamon Ryan le fios go ndéanfaidh an Rialtas cinneadh deiridh faoin gceist arú amárach.

He said Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe had done an excellent job on the issue and said this country should join the agreement because of its reputation.

Dúirt sé go raibh obair fíormhaith déanta ar an gceist ag an Aire Airgeadais Paschal Donohoe agus dar leis gur chóir don tír seo páirt a ghlacadh sa chomhaontú de gheall a dea-chlú.

According to the agreement, drawn up by the Organization for Economic Co - operation and Development, the corporation tax rate in this country could be raised from 12.5% to 15%.

De réir an chomhaontaithe, atá curtha i dtoll a chéile ag an Eagraíocht um Chomhar agus Fhorbairt Eacnamaíochta, d'fhéadfaí ráta cánach corparáide na tíre seo a ardú ó 12.5 faoin gcéad go dtí 15 faoin gcéad .

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

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

It is stated that the aim of the treaty is to modernize and regularize the method of calculating corporation tax worldwide in the interests of international justice.

Maítear gurb é is aidhm don chonradh an modh a ríomhtar cáin chorparáide ar fud an domhain a nuashonrú agus a thabhairt chun rialtachta ar son na córa idirnáisiúnta.

Paschal Donohoe has often stated that he is determined to maintain the 12.5% rate in Ireland.

Tá sé ráite go minic cheana ag Paschal Donohoe go bhfuil sé meáite ar an ráta 12.5 faoin gcéad in Éirinn a choinneáil.

DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson says North-South structures cannot exist as long as there is a border in the Irish Sea.

Deir ceannaire an DUP Jeffrey Donaldson nach féidir struchtúir Thuaidh- Theas a bheith ann fad is atá teorann i Muir Éireann.

Mice could cost € 3.2bn in compensation.

D'fhéadfadh €3.2bn de chostas cúitimh a bheith le míca.

It is now said that the damage caused to homes by the mica blocks could cost € 3.2bn in compensation.

Deirtear anois go bhféadfadh €3.2bn de chostas cúitimh a bheith leis an dochar atá déanta do thithe de bharr na mblocanna míca.

The figure is contained in a draft report compiled by a working group on the subject.

Tá an figiúir le fáil i ndréacht-thuarascáil atá curtha le chéile ag grúpa oibre ar an ábhar.

It would be a 100% grant, but the report recommends repair work on the house itself standing, that is, it would not be intended to demolish the house.

Bheadh deontas 100 faoin gcéad i gceist, ach is obair dheisiúcháin atá á moladh ag an tuarascáil ar an teach fhéin ina sheasamh, sé sin ní bheadh sé i gceist an teach a leagan go talamh.

The campaign for compensation has said that nothing will satisfy it but to have all the money available to the families affected by the mica blocks.

Tá sé ráite ag an bhfeachtas ar son an chúitimh nach sásóidh tada é ach an t-airgead iomlán a bheith ar fáil do na teaghlaigh atá thíos leis na blocanna míca.

The majority of affected dwellings are in Counties Donegal and Mayo.

Is i gContaetha Dhún na nGall agus Mhaigh Eo atá formhór na dtithe cónaithe atá buailte.

However, the recommendations of this working group convened by Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien are not intended to be 100% compensated.

Níl sé i gceist áfach go dtabharfaí 100 faoin gcéad cúítimh faoi mholtaí an ghrúpa oibre seo a chuir an tAire Tithíochta Darragh O'Brien le chéile.

Minister O'Brien will now present this draft report to the leaders of the coalition parties and any resulting recommendations will be discussed by Government.

Cuirfidh an tAire O'Brien an dréacht-thuarascáil seo anois faoi bhráid cheannairí na bpáirtithe comhrialtais agus beidh pé moladh a thagann as á phlé ag an Rialtas.

Man convicted of murdering his wife in Dublin.

Fear ciontaithe i ndúnmharú a mhná céile i mBaile Átha Cliath.

In the Central Criminal Court, a 39-year-old man was convicted of the murder of his wife in Dublin four years ago.

Sa Phríomh-Chúirt Choiriúil, ciontaíodh fear 39 bliain d'aois i ndúnmharú a mhná céile i mBaile Átha Cliath ceithre bliana ó shin.

Renato Gehlen, a native of Brazil, pleaded not guilty to the murder of Anne Colomines, 37, of French descent.

Phleádáil Renato Gehlen, as an mBrasaíl ó dhúchas, neamhchiontach i ndúnmharú Anne Colomines, 37 bliain, ar de bhunadh na Fraince í.

The woman was stabbed and killed in Dorset Square, Upper Gardiner Street, on October 25, 2017.

Sádh agus maraíodh an bhean i gCearnóg Dorset, Sráid Ghairdinéir Uachtarach, ar an 25 Deireadh Fómhair 2017.

Renato Gehlen claimed that Anne Colomines stabbed herself but the jury did not accept that story.

Mhaígh Renato Gehlen gur sháigh Anne Colomines í féin ach ní raibh glacadh ag an ngiúiré leis an scéal sin.

The jurors unanimously convicted him.

D'aon ghuth a chiontaigh na giúróirí é.

The trial stated that the two met while working for Paypal in Dublin and married in October 2012.

Dúradh sa triail gur chas an bheirt ar a chéile nuair a bhí siad go obair do chomhlacht Paypal i mBaile Átha Cliath agus gur phós siad i mí Dheireadh Fómhair na bliana 2012.

Several months before she was killed, however, Anne Colomines told her husband that she wanted a divorce from him.

Roinnt míonna sular maraíodh í, áfach, dúirt Anne Colomines lena fear céile go raibh sí ag iarraidh colscaradh uaidh.

He later found out that she had another lover in France.

Fuair sé amach ina dhiaidh sin go raibh leannán eile aici sa Fhrainc.

The trial stated that she and the man had sent each other 296 text messages the night she was killed.

Dúradh sa triail gur chuir sí féin agus an fear úd 296 teachtaireacht téacs chuig a chéile an oíche a maraíodh í.

Anne Colomines stabbed four times and cut her hands while defending herself.

Sádh Anne Colomines ceithre huaire agus gearradh a lámha nuair a bhí sí á cosaint féin.

Renato Gehlen will be sentenced to life in prison as mandated by law when he comes before the court again next month.

Gearrfar príosún saoil ar Renato Gehlen de réir mar atá sainordaithe sa dlí nuair a thiocfas sé os comhair na cúirte arís an mhí seo chugainn.

Asylum in Ireland to be given to another 500 people from Afghanistan.

Tearmann in Éirinn le tabhairt do 500 duine eile ón Afganastáin.

The Government is to provide asylum to another 500 people from Afghanistan, who already have relatives living in Ireland.

Tá an Rialtas le tearmann a thabhairt do thart ar 500 duine eile ón Afganastáin, daoine a bhfuil gaolta leo ina gcónaí in Éirinn cheana féin.

Justice Minister Heather Humphreys said the new scheme is for people currently at risk in Afghanistan and for people who have fled that country and are settling in neighboring countries.

Dúirt an tAire Dlí agus Cirt Heather Humphreys go mbaineann an scéim nua le daoine atá i mbaol san Afganastáin faoi láthair agus le daoine a theith ón tír sin agus atá ag cur fúthu i dtíortha comharsanachta.

670 people from Afghanistan have been granted asylum in this country so far this year.

Tá tearmann tugtha sa tír seo do 670 duine ón Afganastáin go dtí seo i mbliana.

Minister Humphreys stated that the Government has been very sympathetic to the Afghan people since the Taliban came to power there again last month.

Mhaígh an tAire Humphreys go bhfuil an-bhá ag an Rialtas le muintir na hAfganastáine ó tháinig an Talaban i réim ansin arís an mhí seo caite.

She also indicated that more Afghans will still be allowed to come to Ireland in a few months' time under schemes already in place.

Thug sí le fios freisin go mbeidh cead ag tuilleadh Afgánach fós teacht go hÉirinn as seo go ceann roinnt míonna faoi scéimeanna atá i bhfeidhm cheana féin.

All of these refugees will be allowed to stay in Ireland for up to two years after which they can apply for permanent residence status.

Beidh cead ag na teifigh seo ar fad fanacht in Éirinn ar feadh suas le dhá bhliain agus féadfaidh siad iarratas a dhéanamh ar stádas cónaithe buan ina dhiaidh sin.

Minister Roderic O'Gorman said the refugees will not be placed in direct supply centers when they arrive in Ireland.

Dúirt an tAire Roderic O'Gorman nach gcuirfear na teifigh in ionaid soláthair dhírigh nuair a thagann siad go hÉirinn.

Hutch lost his appeal against his extradition to Ireland.

A achomharc caillte ag Hutch i gcoinne a eiseachadta go hÉirinn.

Gerard Hutch, better known as the 'Monk', has lost his appeal against his extradition to Ireland.

Tá a achomharc i gcoinne a eiseachadta go hÉirinn caillte ag Gerard Hutch, nó an 'Monk' mar is fearr aithne air.

Three judges at a Spanish National Court ruled in the evening that the European Arrest Warrant awarded to Hutch in August stands.

Rialaigh triúr breithiúna i gCúirt Náisiúnta sa Spáinn tráthnóna go seasann an Barántas Gabhála Eorpaigh a bronnadh ar Hutch i mí Lúnasa.

It was at that time that police arrested the 'Monk' in the town of Fuengirola on the Costa Del Sol.

Ba ag an tráth sin a ghabh póilíni an 'Monk' i mbaile Fuengirola ar an Costa Del Sol.

Gardaí are seeking the extradition of Hutch (57) as he is being questioned about the murder of criminal David Byrne (34) at the Regency hotel in Dublin in February 2016.

Tá na gardaí ag iarraidh go n-eiseachadfaí Hutch (57) mar go bhfuiltear ag iarraidh é a cheistiú faoi dhúnmharú an choirpigh David Byrne (34) in óstán an Regency i mBaile Átha Cliath i bhFeabhra na bliana 2016.

David Byrne, the criminal killed in the raid on the Regency hotel in 2016 The State here also wants Hutch to be tried in the Special Criminal Court, if there is enough evidence to do so.

David Byrne, an coirpeach a maraíodh sa ruathar ar óstán an Regency i 2016 Teastaíonn ón Stát anseo freisin go gcuirfí Hutch ar a thriail sa Chúirt Choiriúil Speisialta, má tá dóthain fianaise ann le sin a dhéanamh.

However, if Hutch is convicted, he will be allowed to return to Spain to serve his prison term.

Má chiontaítear Hutch áfach, beidh cead aige filleadh ar an Spáinn lena thréimhse príosunachta a chur isteach.

Gerard Hutch has residency status in Spain, and authorities then say he pays his taxes in Spain in his own name.

Tá stádas cónaitheach sa Spáinn ag Gerard Hutch, agus deir na húdaráis ansin go n-íocann sé a chuid cánach sa Spáinn ina ainm féin.
