Olltoghchán lán le teannas sa Ghearmáin. The German public is heading to the polling booths today for the country's general election. Tá pobal na Gearmáine ag tabhairt na mbothanna vótála orthu féin inniu don olltoghchán sa tír. Up to 60m people are eligible to vote and it is said that politics was not as divided over there as people remember. Suas le 60m duine atá i dteideal vótála agus deirtear nach raibh an pholaitíocht chomh scoiltithe thall ansin le cuimhne na ndaoine. It is certain that there will be no clear winner, so the best party that emerges will rely on other parties to form a Government. Táthar anann is cinnte nach mbeidh aon bhuaiteoir glan, mar sin beidh an páirtí is fearr a chruthaíonn ag braith ar pháirtithe eile le Rialtas a bhunú. The rise of the AfD (Alternative Fur Deutschland), a far-right party that believes immigration is out of control in the country, is worrying centrist parties. Díol imní do pháirtithe atá sa lár an borradh mór atá tagtha ar an AFD (Alternative Fur Deutchland), páirtí atá an-fhada ar dheis agus a chreideann go bhfuil cúrsaí inimirce ó smacht sa tír. There is a different direction for Germany, that is what the party strongly claims. Tá malairt treo ann don Ghearmáin, sin a mhaíonn an páirtí go láidir. This party is expected to have a 20% vote share, the strongest vote since the Nazi era in the country. Ceaptar go mbeidh sciar vóta 20 faoin gcéad ag an bpáirtí seo, an vóta is láidre ó ré na naitsíoch sa tír. The problem with the AFD is that, short of a miracle, it will not entice any other party to form a coalition government. An fhadhb atá leis an AFD ná d'uireasa na míorúilte, nach meallfaidh sé aon pháirtí eile le comhrialtas a bhunú. The Government party, the Social Democrats (SPD), also has its own problems and it is thought that the voting public will have little sympathy or sympathy for them in this matter. Tá a gcuid fadhbanna féin freisin ag páirtí an Rialtais, Na Daonlathaithe Sóisialta (SPD) agus ceaptar gur beag gean ná trua a bheidh ag an bpobal vótála dóibh siúd an iarraidh seo. The Christian Democrats (CDU), the traditional conservative party led by Friedrich Merz, are thought to do best in this general election. Ceaptar gurb iad na Daonlathaithe Críostaí (CDU), an páirtí traidisiúnta caomhach faoi cheannasaíocht Friedrich Merz, is fearr a chruthóidh san olltoghchán seo. It is understood that they will then look towards the SPD and the Green Party in order to gain a majority to form a Government. Tuigtear go bhféachfaidh siadsan ansin i dtreo an SPD agus Comhaontas Glas ar mhaithe le móramh a ghnóthú chun Rialtas a bhunú. As is often the case, the economy is the big issue in the general election as Germany has been in international decline for 2 years. Mar is minice an cás, is í an eacnamaíocht an cheist mhór san olltoghchán agus An Ghearmáin ag cúlú go hidirnáisiúnta le 2 bhliain. But in the wake of that and a related issue depending on your opinion, is the issue of immigration and a debate being strongly fostered by the AFD. Ach sna sála leis sin agus ceist atá gaolta leis ag braith ar do thuairim, is ea ceist na hinimirce agus díospóireacht á chothú go láidir ag an AFD. Some of the crimes that have been drawing attention for some time and the way right-wing parties are using them to bring up the issue of immigration are not helping. Ní haon chabhair é roinnt de na coireanna atá ag tarraingt cainte le tamall agus an bealach a bhfuil páirtithe den eite dheis á n-úsáid le ceist na hinimirce a tharraingt anuas. By 5pm Irish time today we will have an idea of how the majority of the German public voted in this general election. Faoin 5 a chlog am na hÉireann inniu beidh barúil againn cén bealach ar vótáil formhór de phobal na Gearmáine san olltoghc...

    jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2dzq6kmj Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Trump made a cold case of Ukrainian hypocrisy. File fuar déanta ag Trump de cheasacht na hÚcráine. US President Donald Trump has dismissed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's rhetoric regarding ongoing talks to end the war in that country. Tá neamhshuim déanta ag Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe Donald Trump de chlamhsán Uachtarán na hÚcráine Volodymyr Zelensky maidir leis na comhráite atá ar bun faoi dheireadh a chur leis an gcogadh sa tír sin. Ukrainians are deeply unhappy that they were excluded from the peace talks that were taking place between the United States and Russia in Saudi Arabia yesterday. Tá na hÚcránaigh thar a bheith míshásta gur fágadh as an áireamh iad sna comhráite síochána a bhí ar bun idir na Stáit Aontaithe agus an Rúis san Araib Shádach inné. Trump openly stated that he was disappointed that the Ukrainians were suffering from their fate and it appears from his speech that he blamed the war on them. Dúirt Trump go neamhbhalbh go raibh díomá air go raibh na hÚcránaigh ag ceasacht ar a gcinniúint agus dealraíonn sé óna chuid amhlabhra gur chuir sé an milleán faoin gcogadh orthusan. Zelensky responded by saying that Trump was under the spell of misinformation. D'fhreagair Zelensky agus dúirt go raibh Trump faoi gheasa ag mífhaisnéis. Trump responded by saying that Zelensky was a dictator who did not call a general election in Ukraine. D'aisfhreagair Trump agus dúirt seisean gur deachtóir ab ea Zelensky nár ghair olltoghchán san Úcráin. Russia invaded Ukraine three years ago and hundreds of thousands of people are estimated to have been killed – both soldiers and civilians – as a result of the fighting since then. Rinne an Rúis ionradh ar an Úcráin trí bliana go ham seo agus áirítear na céadta míle duine a bheith maraithe – idir shaighdiúirí agus shibhialtaigh – de bharr na cogaíochta ó shin. If Trump's speech is any indication, it seems that the Ukrainians will also be left out in the future and that an agreement could be reached without any regard to what they or other countries in Europe want. Más comhartha ar bith caint Trump, is cosúil go bhfágfar na hÚcránaigh as an áireamh san am le teacht freisin agus go bhféadfaí teacht ar chomhaontú gan aon bheann ar a bhfuil uathusan ná ó thíortha eile san Eoraip. In fact, Trump claimed that he was now more optimistic about a peace agreement in light of what emerged from yesterday's talks. Go deimhin, mhaígh Trump go raibh sé níos dóchasaí anois faoi chomhaontú síochána i bhfianaise ar tháinig as na comhráite inné. He also indicated that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin may meet before the end of this month. Thug sé le fios freisin go mb'fhéidir go dtiocfadh sé féin agus Uachtarán na Rúise Vladimir Putin le chéile roimh dheireadh na míosa seo. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ

    jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/28g4vhuz Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Concerns in small towns in the Muskerry Gaeltacht about speeding cars. Imní i mbailte beaga i nGaeltacht Mhúscraí faoi ró-luas carranna. Concerns have been expressed about the speed limit being regularly exceeded in certain villages in the Múscraí Gaeltacht in Co. Cork. Tá imní léirithe faoin teorainn luais a bheith á sárú go rialta i sráidbhailte ar leith i nGaeltacht Mhúscraí i gCo Chorcaí. In one case, a driver was clocked at 143 kilometres per hour in a small town where there is a 50 kilometres per hour speed limit. I gcás amháin cláraíodh luas 143 ciliméadar san uair ag tiománaí ar bhaile beag ina bhfuil teorainn luais 50 ciliméadar san uair ann. There is an urgent need to implement speed reduction measures immediately, says Gobnait Ní Mhuínneacháin, a Councillor for the area on Cork County Council. Tá géarghá le bearta moillithe luais a chur i bhfeidhm láithreach a deir Gobnait Ní Mhuínneacháin, Comhairleoir sa gceantar ar Chomhairle Chontae Chorcaí. She says that over 1,000 vehicles a day pass through the village of Reighleáin. Deir sise go dtéann breis is 1,000 feithicil sa ló thrí shráidbhaile Reighleáin. Gardaí have revealed that a driver was recorded doing 143 km/h in the town, almost 3 times the speed limit. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag na Gardaí gur cláraíodh tiománaí ag déanamh 143 km/uair ar an mbaile, beagnach 3 oiread na luasteorann. But concerns about speeding on the roads are troubling people across Muskerry. Ach tá imní faoin ró-luas ar na bóithre ag cur as do dhaoine ar fud Mhúscraí. There is also a big problem, people say, in Kilmhuire, and although there is a ramp on the road at the primary school, there are drivers who are said to not pay the slightest attention to the restriction on walking. Tá fadhb mhór freisin adeir daoine i gCill Mhuire, agus cé go bhfuil rampa ar an mbóthar ag an mbunscoil, tá tiománaithe ann a deirtear nach dtugann aird dá laghad ar an srian ar an siúl. According to a study of the village of Reighleán, 86% of vehicles are travelling at an average speed of 68 km/h, in an area where the speed limit is 50 km/h. De réir staidéir ar shráidbhaile Reighleáin tá 86 faoin gcéad de na feithiclí ag taisteal ag luas 68 km/uair ar an meán, limistéar arbh é 50 km/uair an luasteorainn. Marian O'Flaherty will have more about that story on Nuacht TG4 at 1900. Beidh tuilleadh faoin scéal sin ag Marian O'Flaherty ar Nuacht TG4 ag 1900.
