Ordú tugtha éanlaith chlóis a choinneáil sa chró. Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue has ordered people who keep poultry to put their flocks in a shed from next Monday to prevent the spread of bird flu. Tá ordú tugtha ag an Aire Talmhaíochta Charlie McConalogue do dhaoine a choinníonn éanlaith chlóis a gcuid ealtan a chur i gcró ón Luan seo chugainn de leisce go leathfadh an fliú éanúil. The order was issued under Animal Health and Welfare regulations. Is faoi rialacháin um Shláinte agus Leas Ainmhithe a eisíodh an t-ordú. Bird flu is already spreading among wild birds in this country and the authorities are afraid that birds in captivity will also catch the disease. Tá an fliú éanúil ag scaipeadh i measc éan fiáin sa tír seo cheana féin agus tá faitíos ar na húdaráis go dtógfaidh éin i ngéibheann an galar chomh maith. It was confirmed yesterday that a swan that died in Co Cavan had bird flu. Dearbhaíodh inné go raibh an fliú éanúil ar eala a fuair bás i gCo an Chabháin. All poultry keepers are being urged to exercise extreme caution and apply biosecurity measures. Táthar ag achainí ar gach duine a choinníonn éanlaith chlóis a bheith fíorairdeallach agus beartais bhithshlandála a chur i gcion. Avian flu was found among flocks of birds in a kennel in north Dublin and Kilmanton last month. Aimsíodh an fliú éanúil i measc ealtaí éan i ngéibheann i dtuaisceart Bhaile Átha Cliath agus i gCill Mhantáin an mhí seo caite. It was the first outbreak of the disease among birds in captivity since last Christmas. B'in an chéad ráig den ghalar i measc éan i ngéibheann ón Nollaig seo caite. It has also recently been confirmed that seabirds have the flu in north Dublin. Deimhníodh le gairid freisin go bhfuil an fliú ar éin mhara i dtuaisceart Bhaile Átha Cliath. In a statement, the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine indicated that there is no risk to people who consume poultry or other poultry products, but that they should always be cooked properly. I ráiteas, thug an Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara le fios nach bhfuil aon bhaol ann do dhaoine a chaitheann éineoil ná táirgí eile éanlaithe, ach gur chóir i gcónaí iad a chócaráil i gceart. Only the truly awful case of avian influenza being contracted by humans has ever been reported. Níor tuairiscíodh riamh go dtí seo ach an fíor-chorrchás den fhliú éanúil a bheith tolgtha ag daonnaithe. The authorities in England have ordered poultry farmers abroad to keep their birds in cages from Monday as well. Tá ordú tugtha ag na húdaráis i Sasana do lucht éanlaithe clóis thall a gcuid éan a choinneáil i gcró ón Luan chomh maith.

Príosún gearrtha ar thriúr deartháireacha faoi robálacha. In the Special Criminal Court, three brothers from Co Monaghan who were involved in a gang of criminals robbing almost € 800,000 from ATMs over nine months between 2018 and 2019 were sentenced to prison terms.

The gang armed with stolen jeeps, trailers and excavators to rip the machines off the walls of banks and other business centers in three different counties - Cavan, Monaghan and Meath.

Judge Tony Hunt said in court that he was surprised that the brothers were involved in such a serious crime in light of their formal credentials as construction workers. Dúirt an Breitheamh Tony Hunt sa chúirt go raibh ionadh air go raibh na deartháireacha bainteach le coiriúlacht chomh tromchúiseach i bhfianaise a raibh de dintiúir fhoirmiúla mar oibrithe tógála acu. He said, however, that rural communities are scared of serious crime and that bank robberies are a major disruption to life in remote areas. Dúirt sé, áfach, go bhfuil pobail tuaithe scanraithe roimh choiriúlacht thromchúiseach agus go gcuireann robálacha bainc as go mór don saol in áiteanna iargúlta.

Ireland has literally thousands of amazing historic and archaeological sites that stretch back thousands of years. Many of the best of these are off the beaten track and do not feature on tourist trails.A few weeks ago archaeologist Neil Jackman took me to one of these - the vast sprawling ruins of Athassel priory in South Tipperary. In a wide ranging interview, Neil explained the history of this 800 year old building.

On Tuesday 17 September, Quinn Industrial Holdings (QIH) director Kevin Lunney was abducted on his way home. He was taken to another location where he was savagely assaulted. Lunney was then left at the side of the road in Co Cavan. Gardaí now believe that a gang led by a former IRA member with a string of convictions was behind the planning of the attack. QIH is a well-known company in Cavan - it was established in 2014 and comprises elements of businessman Sean Quinn's former businesses. This latest attack was the most severe of a number of incidents which have targeted QIH in recent years. There have been over 70 reported incidents, including arson attacks and bullets being sent to a contractor. What has been happening with these attacks?

Justin Kelly is singer and lyric writer with The Sons Of Southern Ulster. Hailing from Bailieborough, Co Cavan, the Sons of Southern Ulster includes David Meagher, who lives in the Ballina/Killaloe area and Justin Kelly based in Boston. Last year the Sons got together to release an album ('Foundry Folk Songs') of songs about growing up in Cavan in the early 80s! Despite the Cavan roots, the content is relevant to pretty much all of rural Ireland of the time. The album has been received very favourably, with great reviews and receiving an Irish Times Song of the Week accolade. Their music has brought comparisons with The Fall, Sleaford Mods and A House.  The songs focus on life in rural Ireland in the 80s, providing a warts-and-all description of a place that was both innocent and abrasive. The album was produced by Daragh Dukes at his Castleconnell Studios and recorded at various locations in Ireland and the USA. Vocals were recorded and engineered by Boston music stalwart David Minehan (of the Neighborhoods) at his Wooly Mammoth Sound studio, not long before he headed off on a world tour as guitarist with the legendary Replacements. The current band line up includes Justin Kelly (Boston, vocals), David Meagher (guitars), Paddy Glackin (Perth, bass) and Noel Larkin (Meath, drums).

14th September 2017 @ Cavan County Museum, Virgina Road, Ballyjamesduff, Co Cavan. When one thinks of folklore study and folklore collecting south of the border, the Protestant community is not normally the first sector of society to spring to mind. A major collecting project being undertaken by the National Folklore Collection, focusing on Irish Protestants as a cultural group, seeks to redress this imbalance. In this ‘decade of centenaries' what does it tell us about Protestants in independent Ireland? Did the new state live up to the non-sectarian ideals of the 1916 Proclamation (‘cherishing the children of the nation equally)? History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, was joined for a lively and enlightening round-table discussion by Deirdre Nuttall (National Folklore Collection), Niall Meehan (Griffith College), Críostoir MacCartaigh (National Folklore Collection), Malachy Hand (Loughcrew Megalithic Centre) and Ian D'Alton (TCD). This History Ireland Hedge School was supported by the Commemorations Unit of the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and hosted by Cavan County Museum.
