Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an 3ú lá de mhí Feabhra. Is mise Niall Ó Cuileagáin. Dheimhnigh an DUP go bhfillfeadh siad thar n-ais ar Stormont an tseachtain seo tar éis margaidh a dhein siad le Rialtas na Breataine. Ní raibh forais Stormont ina seasamh le dhá bhliain anuas ó tharraing an DUP amach astu mar gheall ar an margadh trádála déanta idir Rialtas na Breataine agus an tAontas Eorpach. Dúirt ceannaire an DUP, Jeffrey Donaldson, go raibh sé sásta go mbeadh “áit Thuaisceart Éireann sa Ríocht Aontaithe sábháilte de bharr a bhfuil geallta ag Rialtas na Breataine”. De réir an mhargaidh nua, beidh níos lú seiceálachacustaim ar earraí a sheoltar ón mBreatain agus a choinnítear sa Tuaisceart. Is cosúil go dtiocfaidh feisirí Thionól Stormont le chéile Dé Sathairn agus go mbeidh Michelle O'Neill óShinn Féin ina Céad-Aire de bharr thorthaí an toghcháin dheireanaigh. Seo an chéad uair a bheidh náisiúnaí ina Chéad-Aire ó bunaíodh Tuaisceart Éireann. Tá sé deimhnithe ag an Aontas Eorpach €50 billiún breise a thabhairt don Úcráin tar éis cruinniú éigeandála sa Bhruiséil an tseachtain seo. Bhí Príomh-Aire na hUngáire, Viktor Orbán, i gcoinne níos mó tacaíochta a chur ar fáil don Úcráin roimh an Nollaig, ach d'athraigh sé a mheon le linn an chruinnithe. Ba chóir go mbeadh gach cinneadh déanta d'aon ghuth san Aontas Eorpach agus mar sin, bhí fíor-thábhachtacht ag baint le cinneadh Orbán. Beidh an t-airgead seo riachtanach don Úcráin chun a seirbhísí agus a geilleagar a choinneáil slán. Tá géarghá le maoiniú ag an Úcráin tar éis dhá bhliain ag troid in aghaidhfhórsaí na Rúise agus an méid díobhála atá déanta sa tír ó thosaigh an cogadh.

Bhí an Taoiseach Leo Varadkar sa Bhruiséil an tseachtain seo, áit ar bhuail sé le hUachtarán Pharlaimint na hEorpa, Roberta Metsola. Tar éis a gcruinnithe, scríobh Metsolateachtaireacht i nGaolainn ar na meáin shóisialta inar ghuigh sí beannachtaí na Féile Bríde ar mhuintir na hÉireann. Beidh roinnt imeachtaí ar siúl le linn an deireadh seachtaine chun ómós a dhéanamh do Bhríd: mar shampla, beidh mórshiúl i gCluain Dolcáin Dé Domhnaigh ina mbeidh daoine gléasta mar chleamairí agus mar Bhríd, an Naomh agus an Bandia págánach.
