Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an naoú lá de mhí Lúnasa. Is mise Alanna Ní Ghallachóir.Dé Domhnaigh, fuadaíodh bean as Éirinn i Háítí agus seachtar eile in éineacht léi, leanbh trí bliana d'aois ina measc. Is í Gena Heraty, atá ina stiúrthóir i ndílleachtlann in aice le príomhchathair Háítí, Port-au-Prince, agus ar as Cathair na Mart i gContae Mhaigh Eo ó dhúchas di, an bhean a fuadaíodh. Bronnadh roinnt gradam ar an stiúrthóir dílleachtlainne ar son a cuid obair dhaonnúil, Gradam Dínit an Duine um Oireachtais san áireamh. D'agair an Taoiseach Micheál Martin leis an dream a d'fhuadaigh an tÉireannach í a scaoileadh saor agus dhearbhaigh an tAire Gnóthaí Eachtracha, an Tánaiste Simon Harris, go raibh “dianiarrachtaí leanúnacha” ar siúl lena fuascailt a bhaint amach. Tháinig borradh mór faoin táirgeadh plaistigh sa chéad bliain a chuaigh thart, agus cé gur táirge míorúilteach é i roinnt cásanna, is cúis tromluí é i gcás an truaillithe. In 2022, tháinig tíortha ar chomhaontú a bhí ina cheangal de réir dlí, le dramhaíl plaistigh agus ceimiceáin dhíobhálacha a bhaineann le plaisteacha ar leith a laghdú, ach tar éis dhá bhliain níl an conradh réitithe go fóill. Dé Máirt, bhuail na tíortha domhanda le chéile arís ag comhdháil na Náisiún Aontaithe in Geneva, ag cur tús le seisiún atá ag iarraidh an comhaontú a chríochnú, téacs an chomhaontú a fhormheas, agus é a chur os comhair Chomhdháil Taidhleoireachta na Lánchumhachtach sula nglacfaí leis.Tá Fleadh Cheoil na Éireann faoi lánseol i Loch Garman don darna bhliain: níos mó ná seachtain lán de cheol, amhránaíocht agus damhsa, agus buaicphointe na bliana do na taibheoirí. Tá réimse imeachtaí Gaeilge le fáil ag an Fhleadh fosta, idir cheol beo, scéalaíocht, TG4, stair, siamsóirí sráide, agus neart eile, ó Seachtain na Gaeilge, agus tá seans ag daoine an Ghaeilge a labhairt agus a chluinstin go nádúrtha sa spás cultúrtha seo. Críochnaíonn na comórtais agus na taispeántais Dé Domhnaigh, 10 Lúnasa agus tá na craoltaí le feiceáil ar TG4, beo agus le sruthú. Fógraíodh anuraidh go mbeidh Fleadh Cheoil na Éireann ag tarlú i mBéal Feirste den chéad uair in 2026, agus den darna huair sa Tuaisceart.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

A two-time former Mayor of Ennis claims an erosion of democracy has contributed to his decision not to seek re-election. Cllr Johnny Flynn will bring the curtain down on his twenty-year career in local politics in June after having first being elected to the Town Council in 2004. The Tulla Road resident topped the polls in Ennis in 2009 and played a major role in the county's bid to host Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in 2016, while serving as Mayor the previous year. Johnny Flynn has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that while his decision is primarily based on personal factors of health and family, he believes the creation of the Ennis 2040 DAC has undermined the influence of elected representatives.
