Imhsuite, scuainí, tranglam tráchta ar an 4ú lá den agóid breosla. There are now fuel shortages in many places due to the blockades in place at fuel storage facilities in Limerick and Galway and at the Whitegate refinery in Cork, the only one in the State. Tá ganntananas breosla ina lán áiteanna anois de bharr an imshuí atá ar bun ag ionaid stórála breosla i Luimneach agus i nGaillimh agus ag scaglann an Gheata Bháin i gCorcaigh, an t-aon cheann sa Stát. Petrol station operators are predicting that 500 locations will be without any fuel tonight. Tá lucht na ngaráistí peitril ag tuar go mbeidh 500 ionad gan aon bhreosla anocht. This has already happened to hundreds of others, in the south and west. Tá sin tarlaithe cheana i gcás na gcéadta eile cheana, sa deisceart agus san iarthar. There is no shortage of fuel, but supplies are stagnant in storage facilities and in Whitegate. Níl aon ghantannas breosla ann, ach tá na soláthairtí i bhfastó sna hionaid stórála agus sa Gheata Bán. Because no fuel is being released from these, they have no capacity to accept any other cargo, which the Taoiseach referred to today when he said that we will have to ship oil cargoes at a time when the rest of the world is competing for them. De bharr nach bhfuil aon bhreosla á scaoileadh amach astu sin, níl aon acmhainn iontu glacadh le lastas ar bith eile, rud ar thagair an Taoiseach dó inniu á rá go mbeidh orainn lastais ola a chur ó dhoras tráth a bhfuil an cuid eile den domhain in iomaíocht faoina leithéid. An example of this is the Thun Gemini, a tanker anchored in Galway Bay with six million litres of oil on board, fuel that cannot be brought ashore at Galway port. Sampla de sin é an Thun Gemini, taincéir atá ar ancaire i gCuan na Gaillimhe agus sé mhilliún líotar ola ar bord aici, breosla nach féidir a thabhairt i dtír ag calafort na Gaillimhe. Although Dublin Port is accessible, traffic congestion throughout the city has caused significant delays in getting tankers to the garages in the East. Cé go bhfuil rochtain ar Chalafort Bhaile Átha Cliath, tá na hagóídí tráchta ar fud na hardchathrach ar cur an-mhoill ar taincéirí a thabhairt chuig na garáistí san Oirthear. And even if the blockade were to end tonight, it could be a week before supply is restored. Agus fiú dá dtiocfadh deireadh leis an imshuí anocht, d’fhéadfadh seachtain bheith ann sula gcuirfí an soláthar ar ais ina cheart. In Whitegate in Cork, there was a standoff between Gardaí and the blockaders for a while as they were escorting a third tanker into the refinery, but it ended shortly afterwards. Sa nGeata Bán i gCorcaigh, bhí sé ina leamhsháinn idir Ghardai agus lucht an imshuí ar feadh tamaill nuair a bhí an tríú taincéir á thionlacan isteach sa scaglann acu, ach scoir sí gan móran achair. This solution was set up for the purpose of providing emergency vehicles. Ar mhaithe le soláthar d’fheithiclí éigeandála a cuireadh an réiteach seo ar bun. Several lorries carrying animal supplies and water cleaning chemicals have been unloaded from Foynes Port on the Shannon Estuary, but no oil tankers are being unloaded yet. Tá roinnt leoraithe le soláthairtí d’ainmhithe agus ceimiceáin glanta uisce scaoilte amach as Calafort Fainge ar inbhear na Sionainne, ach níl aon taincéir ola á scaoileadh amach fós. But traffic conditions on many motorways and national roads are in disarray due to blockades by protesters. Ach tá cúrsaí tráchta ar go leor mótarbhealach agus bóithre náisiúnta in aimhréid de bharr imshuí ag an lucht agóíde. People can get an update. There are long queues on the M1 northbound due to that side of the road being closed at Dundalk. There are also long delays on the M50 southbound and northbound as protesters have blocked that major ring road. Is féidir le daoine uasdátú a fháil Tá scuainí fada ar an M1 ó thuaidh de bharr an taobh sin den bhóthar bheith dúnta ag Dún Dealgan Tá moill fhada freisin ar an M50 ó dheas agus ó thuaidh agus blocáil déanta ag agóídithe ar an cuarbhóthar mór sin. There are also some difficulties on the N7 southbound. Tá roinnt deacrachtaí ar an N7 ó dheas freisin. There are approximately 60 tractors, trucks and buses sitting on O’Connell Street in the capital but there is a flow of traffic on the north and south piers and the rest of the Luas is operating. Tá tuairim is 60 tarracóir, trucail agus bus ina suí ar Shráid Uí Chonaill san ardchathair ach tá sruth tráchta ar na céanna thuaidh agus theas agus tá an chuid eile den Luas ag feidmhniú. Dublin Bus has a limited service in the city centre but the company says passenger numbers are down on yesterday. Tá seirbhís theoranta ag Bus Átha Cliath i lár na cathrach ach deir an comhlacht go bhfuil líon na bpaisinéirí níos lú ná inné.

Landing at Dublin Airport is often the first stop in your Ireland journey, but one of the first questions many travelers have is how to get into the city centre. A lot of people immediately look for the cheapest option. That makes sense, but the cheapest option may not always be the best choice depending on how many people are traveling, how much luggage you have, and where your hotel is located. Dublin Airport to Dublin City Centre Transportation Options Before we look at the ways to get into Dublin city centre, there is one important thing to know. There is no train connection at Dublin Airport. Despite being Ireland's busiest airport, the terminals are not connected to the rail network. That surprises quite a few travelers who expect to find a train station like they would at many major European airports. Instead, transportation from Dublin Airport to the city centre is handled by taxis and bus services. When you arrive at the airport, your main options are taxi, Dublin Express, AirCoach, or Dublin Bus. Each works well depending on your budget, luggage, and where your accommodation is located. Here's what to know before deciding which option works best for you. Taxi A taxi is the most convenient way to travel from Dublin Airport to the city centre. Taxis are available directly outside the terminal and will drop you right at your hotel door. After a long flight, that convenience can be worth the extra cost. If you are traveling with multiple people or a lot of luggage, the price of a taxi may actually make more sense than a bus. From personal experience, dragging luggage several blocks after getting off a bus is not something I'm eager to repeat. Now I often choose the taxi simply because it brings me exactly where I want to go. Dublin Express Dublin Express is one of the faster bus options from the airport. Two main routes operate from both terminals, the 782 and 784, with departures approximately every 15 to 20 minutes. Tickets can be purchased online or at the airport. One thing to note is that the Leap card is not accepted on Dublin Express, which can be important if you planned to use that transit card during your time in Dublin. The service makes limited stops, which can make it quicker than other bus options. AirCoach AirCoach is another comfortable option that connects Dublin Airport to the city centre. Buses run regularly and tickets can be purchased online or at the airport. Many travelers find Air Coach to be clean, comfortable, and easy to use, especially after a long flight. Like Dublin Express, the stops are more limited, which can help reduce travel time. Dublin Bus Dublin Bus is the most affordable way to reach the city centre. Routes such as 16 and 41 connect the airport with different parts of Dublin. The fare is inexpensive, but you must have exact change if paying with cash, or use a Leap card. While it's the cheapest option, it also tends to make more stops, which can increase travel time. Choosing the Right Option for Your Trip The best option depends on your travel situation. Consider these three things when deciding: • Number of travelers• Amount of luggage• Distance between the bus stop and your hotel A bus may be perfect if you are traveling light and staying near a stop. But if you have multiple bags or a longer walk to your hotel, the convenience of a taxi may be worth the added cost. Getting Your Ireland Trip Off to a Good Start Getting from Dublin Airport to the city centre is fairly simple once you know the options. Whether you choose a taxi, Dublin Express, AirCoach, or Dublin Bus, the right choice depends on balancing cost with convenience. Taking a few minutes to check your hotel location and transportation routes ahead of time can make your arrival in Dublin much smoother.

In recent weeks, The Sunday Independent revealed that a customer took legal action against Empress Fine Jewels, which was ordered to pay her nearly €35,000, after diamond rings she entrusted to the store were reported stolen while being taken by a pensioner to another location to be cleaned.

Another customer of the same Dublin-based jeweller was “disappointed but not surprised” to learn that a €3,000 emerald and diamond ring she purchased contains fake gemstones.
