Mercosur is a bad deal.The European Commission has backed a free trade agreement with Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. The European Parliament is set to decide on the future of the Mercosur Agreement. It has taken twenty-five years to get to this point. The European Commission has decided to support this proposition and the smart money says the Parliament will follow suit. But perhaps not. It's not over until it's over. There will be a legal challenge to the deal, including Sinn Féin's MEPs, and a vote in the European Parliament. Sinn Féin is also bringing forward a Dáil motion calling on the government to support the legal action and mandating all MEPs to vote against the deal. Nollaig na mBanSome of the traditions that surround Christmas and the New Year celebrations have changed over recent years. For example, when I was growing up Christmas decorations didn't start appearing in homes until a fortnight or so before the 25th December. Now, Halloween is barely over before Christmas decorations start appearing. Previously also, the tree, crib, and the rest all stayed in place until 6 January – the Feast of the Epiphany, the date on which it is said that the three wise men visited the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. This year decorations were mostly down from the start of the new year. And already Easter eggs are in the shops. However, one celebration that has taken on a new lease of life is Nollaig na mBan - Women's Christmas. It is celebrated on 6 January. It used to be confined to rural areas but that is changing.  Nollaig na mBan is the day when the role of women, who generally did  all the work for Christmas, was celebrated. It was the day when women get together with other women and enjoy a brief few hours of celebration on their own. Progress on Casement ParkLast week the draft budget for the Executive, announced by Finance Minister John O'Dowd, included an allocation of an additional £40 million toward the rebuilding of the new Casement Stadium.Sadly, despite the 1998 Good Friday Agreement and its principles of equality and parity of esteem, the decades since then have produced many examples of political unionism continuing to resist investment and funding allocation for nationalist areas. Casement Park is a case in point.Last week's announcement is a positive and welcome development.Irish Unity Must be Priority for EU PresidencyOn 1st July the Irish government will assume the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. This will be its eighth time holding this key administrative and political role within the EU and the first time since Brexit. The agenda for this Presidency is enormous and will affect all of our lives. It will include new legislation as well as significant negotiations around all of the major national and international issues affecting the world at this time – the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, the war in Ukraine, Venezuela, threatened US Foreign Policy adventures toward Greenland, Cuba, Colombia, Nigeria and Iran, famine in Africa, climate change and migration.An Taoiseach Micheál Martin has defined the state's Presidency of the EU as “a Presidency defined by action.”All sounds impressive. But so far no one in the Irish government has said anything about using this unique opportunity to raise the issue of Irish Unity. Thus far, Micheál Martin's approach to Irish Unity can best be described as “a leadership defined by inaction.”

 International Law in TattersShould we be surprised by the decision of President Trump to kidnap President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores? Should we be shocked by his claim that the US will now administer Venezuela or that US Oil companies will manage Venezuela's huge oil reserves? And what of his threats against Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, Greenland, Nigeria and others?The historical reality is that we have seen all of this before. The most brazen example this century was the invasion of Iraq in 2003, under the pretext of the non-existent weapons of mass destruction. The truth then was that US and British interests were primarily concerned with the control of Iraq's oil. The result was a million Iraqi dead and a region torn apart by the subsequent political instability. International law was flagrantly broken. Torture and a brutal occupation followed. The Fellow in the Big PictureOver the Christmas break I watched more television than I do at any other time. Regular readers will know that I'm more of a radio man. RTE Radio, Raidió na Gaeltachta, Raidió Fáilte, Radio Ulster. I listen to these every day. But I like westerns. And there is always a ton of westerns to be seen on television over the Christmas period. Some are old ones featuring Audie Murphy, Gene Audrey, Alan Ladd, John Wayne, Maureen O Hara and the likes.  TG4 usually has a good selection of these.They also show a lot of movies featuring Clint Eastwood. I like his films.  And not just the westerns. Although he first came to our attention in Ballymurphy with Rawhide. Unforgiven was the film of choice this Nollaig with Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman, all in starring roles. And it was followed by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.  Irish government should be ashamed2026 began for the people of the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Occupied Territories with more Israeli attacks by land and sea and air; winter storms that have added to the enormous hardship of people trying to survive in flimsy tents; and the denial of appropriate humanitarian aid.2025 also ended with Israel having killed nearly half of all those journalists killed last year. Reporters Without Borders recorded that 29 reporters were killed by Israeli forces making Israel “the worst enemy of journalists.” 

Today is Nollaig na mBan, or Women's Christmas. Reporter, Aaron McElroy looks at why and how it is celebrated.

Inniu an seachtú lá is fiche de mhí na Nollag. Is mise Niall Ó Siadhail. Tá suas le trian den phobal i gCív na hÚcráine gan teas lárnach inniu i ndiaidh baráiste drón agus diúracán ón Rúis. Maítear go bhfuil Moscó ag díriú ar shaoráidí fuinnimh agus ar bhonneagar sibhialta, fiú agus an teocht faoi bhun an reophointe. Beidh Uachtarán na hÚcráine Volodymyr Zelenskyy ag dul go Floridaamárach chun bualadh le hUachtarán na Stát Aontaithe, ag súil go gcuirfidh na Meiriceánaigh brú ar an Rúis agus dúirt Zelenskyy go bhfuil plean síochána fiche pointe “nócha faoin chéad réidh”. Tá sé ráite ag Zelenskyy roimhe gurbh fhéidir glacadh le stádas mar shaorlimistéar eacnamaíochta nó limistéar dímhíleataithe a thabhairt don Donbas, ach go mbeadh reifreann de dhíth san Úcráin chun an plean sin a fhaomhadh.Sa Ríocht Aontaithe, tá moladh radacach déanta ag an ailtire a dhear an London Eye chun dul i ngleic le héileamh leictreachais san am atá le teacht: stáisiún cumhachta taoide ollmhór a chruthódh murlach ar chósta Somerset. Bheadh 125 tuirbín faoiuisce ann, i stua idir Minehead agus Watchet i Muir na Sabhrainne, nó Cainéal Bristol mar a thugtar air i mBéarla. Bheadh raon rothar 14 mhíle ar bharr an struchtúir agus muiríne le haghaidh spóirt uisce taobh istigh den mhurlach. Deir Feisire áitiúil go mbeadh an suíomh “íocónach” agus táthar ag súil go mbeadh turasóirí ag filleadh ar an cheantar de bharr na saoráidí úra.Tá an scannán úr Saipan le feiceáil sa phictiúrlann an tseachtain seo, ina léirítear na heachtraí mícháiliúla a thit amach i measc fhoireann peile na hÉireann sna hOileáin Mháirianacha Thuaidh go gairid roimh Chorn an Domhain sa bhliain 2002. Beidh na haisteoirí Steve Coogan agus Éanna Hardwicke i ról Mick McCarthy agus Roy Keane faoi seach, agus ní milleadh é le rá gur fhág Keane, duine de na peileadóirí ab fhearr riamh in Éireann, agus chuaigh sé abhaile sular cuireadh tús leis an chomórtas. Eachtra chonspóideach a bhí ann ar an am agus atá fós sa lá atá inniu ann, ach ba é 2002 Corn an Domhain deireanach a raibh Éire páirteach ann. Tá deis ag foireann reatha na hÉireann an comórtas céanna a bhaint amach sa bhliain atá romhainn, agus le cuidiú Dé ní bheidh aon choimhlint idirphearsanta ag cur isteach ar an fheachtas.Bliain úr faoi shéan is faoi mhaise oraibh uilig.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Hunger Strike in English PrisonsIn English prisons five people, imprisoned under new repressive laws targeted at pro-Palestinian activists, are on hunger strike. Several of them will have been on hunger strike now for over 50 days. At the weekend and each day since, protests have taken place across the island of Ireland and in Britain. Irish republicans have a natural affinity with those who use hunger strike in protest against inhumane prison conditions and to advance democratic aims. The use of hunger strike by political prisoners following the Rising and during the Tan and Civil Wars and in the North is well documented.Grace – just hold me in your arms …Next year the judicial review, taken by the Moore St. Preservation Trust, will be held in the Dublin High Court to challenge the Irish government's support for the plans of the developer - Hammerson – to demolish much of the historic 1916 Moore St. battlefield site.16 Moore St. is where the leaders of the 1916 Rising held their last meeting and where the decision to surrender was taken to prevent further civilian loss of life.Among those present was Joseph Plunkett who was centrally involved in the planning of the 1916 Rising. He was Director of Military Operations in the Irish Republican Brotherhood. He was also a member of that organisations Military Council. He was a signatory of the Proclamation and although heavily bandaged as a result of medical operations in early April, Plunkett spent Easter week in the GPO. A bleak Christmas for PalestiniansThe story of Christmas and the birth of Jesus in a stable, as Mary and Joseph sought shelter, is known by billions around the world – even by those of other faiths and none. Christmas will be celebrated – presents given – and many will go to their respective places of worship to remember the child born in poverty, surrounded by a loving family and animals.But for the people of Palestine, surviving in the occupied Palestinian Territories, this Christmas thousands of families will be separated from their loved ones, many of them children, held illegally in Israeli prisons. In the Gaza Strip families will mourn the 20,000 babies and children killed in Israel's genocidal war and the many more left with life changing injuries. Children will grieve for the parents who have been killed.

Nollaig chridhiel dhuibh! A very merry Christmas to you! This episode is a conversation with Dr Jennifer Jack of Tobermory. Jennifer comes originally from West Kilbride in Ayrshire. She moved here in the late 1980's to take up a role within the medical practices in the North End of the island. Our conversation goes into her childhood in Ayrshire, her studies, musical and sporting interests and how she found the island when first she came to live here and what the role of a local GP is and what it means to a community.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/23mtvmny Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Gardaí recommend road safety over Christmas. Cúram ar na bóithre á mholadh ag na Gardaí thar an Nollaig. Today is the busiest day on the State's roads during the Christmas period, and An Garda Síochána is urging drivers to slow down and be mindful of other drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Inniu an lá is gnóthaí ar bhóithre an Stáit i rith thréimhse na Nollag, agus tá an Garda Síochána ag impí ar thiománaithe maolú ar an luas agus bheith airdeallach faoi thiománaithe eile, coisithe agus rothaithe. Gardaí are today launching a 24-hour campaign to enforce speed limits more strictly, coinciding with this increase in Christmas traffic. Tá feachtas 24 huaire ar bun ag Gardaí inniu féachaint le teorainneacha luais a chur i bfheidhm níos géire, chomhuaineach leis an méadú seo ar an trácht Nollag. Gardaí say this is the latest element of a seasonal campaign which hopes to reduce the number of road accidents. Deir Gardaí gurb é seo an gné is deireanai den bhfeachtas séasúrtha atá ag súil le líon na dtaismí bóthair a laghdú. Drivers are being asked to stay within speed limits and be extra careful due to the high level of traffic and long journeys people are making. Táthar ag iarraidh ar thiománaithe fanacht laistigh de na teorainneacha luais agus bheith níos cúramaí de bharr an leibhéal ard tráchta agus turasanna fada atá ar bun ag daoine. 180 people have died on the State's roads so far in 2025. 180 duine a bhásaigh ar bhóithre an Stáit go dtí seo i 2025. Almost all bus, train, ferry and air services are at their peak today, as people head home for Christmas. Tá beagnach gach seirbhís bus, traenach, bád farantóireachta agus aeir ar teann a ndíchill inniu, agus daoine ag déanamh ar an mbaile don Nollaig. The services are recommending that people make advance reservations whenever possible. Tá na seirbhísí ag moladh do dhaoine réamh-áirithint a dhéanamh nuair is féidir. 50,000 people will come through Dublin airport today alone, with thousands more landing at Cork, Shannon, and Knock. 50,000 duine a thiocfaidh trí aerfort Átha Cliath inniu féin, leis na mílte eile ag tuirlingt ag Corcaigh, an tSionna, agus Cnoc Mhuire.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an fichiú lá de mhí na Nollag. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Maraíodh cúig dhuine dhéag, paiste deich mbliana d'aois san áireamh, in ionsaí sceimhlitheoireachta ar Thrá Bondi in Sydney na hAstráile Dé Domhnaigh seo caite. Is iad an bheirt atá ainmnithe leis an sléacht Sajid Akram, a bhí 50 bliain d'aois, agus a mhac Naveed Akram, 24 bliain d'aois. Maraíodh an Akram ba shine ar an láthair agus gortaíodh an mac go dona sular tugadh chun ospidéil é. Scaoil an bheirt acu urchair ar shlua a bhí bailithe ar an trá chun ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar fhéile mhór na nGiúdach, Hanukkah. D'éirigh le fear darb ainm Ahmed al-Ahmed an t-arm a bhaint ó dhuine de na gunnadóirí, agus dúirt príomh-aire New South Wales gur mhair go leor daoine mar thoradh ar an gcrógacht a léirigh sé.I ráiteas a d'eisigh Pobal Giúdach na hÉireann, chuir siad a gcomhbhrón in iúl dá ngaolta agus dá gcairde thar lear san Astráil atá ag fulaingt mar gheall ar na hionsaithe. Dúirt Coimisinéir na nGardaí, Justin Kelly, go dtabharfaí tacaíocht agus cosaint bhreise don phobal Giúdach in Éirinn. Bhí agóid i Londain oíche Dé Céadaoin, lasmuigh d'Aireacht Dlí agus Cirt na Breataine, i gcoinne an diúltaithe cead a thabhairt do stailceoirí ocrais dul go hospidéal. Bhí an teannas idir na póilíní agus na hagóideoirí le brath agus breis is míle duine bailithe chun tacaíocht a léiriú do Qesser Zuhrah, 20 bliain d'aois, agus Amy Gardiner-Gibson, 30 bliain d'aois, atá ar stailc ocrais anois le breis is daichead a sé lá agus ag fulaingt go dona. Gabhadh beirt ar an láthair agus baineadh frith-agóideoir amháin amach as an slua. I mí Iúil, d'fhógair Rialtas na Breataine go raibh cosc i bhfeidhm ar an ngrúpa Palestine Action. Ó shin i leith, tá beagnach 2,500 duine gafa ag na póilíní agus tá seisear priosúnach ar stailc ocrais anois mar agóid i gcoinne mí-úsáid chumhachta an stáit. Faoi dheireadh, tar éis iarrachtaí fada ó bhaill den phobal agus ó pholaiteoirí ar nós Zarah Sultana agus Jeremy Corbyn, a chuir brú ar na húdaráis, thug otharcarr Zuhrah go dtí an t-ospidéal chun cúram éigeandála a fháil. Tá an tAire Dlí agus Cirt, David Lammy, fós ag diúltiú labhairt le teaghlaigh na stailceoirí.Tá sceideal cuimsitheach fógartha ag TG4 don Nollaig agus réimse leathan de scannáin, de chláir faisnéise agus de chláir cheoil acu, chomh maith le rogha mhór mhillteach d'ábhar do pháistí, buíochas le Cúla4.

Bhuel a chairde, tá an t-eagrán seo lán de cheiliúradh – ní hamháin gurb í an Nollaig í, ach mhair muid an céad! San eip seo , tá súil siar á caitheamh againn ar an aistear atá théis a bheith againn ó thús HTG go dtí an 100ú eip. Pléimid na cuimhneacháin is fearr, na cuimhneacháin is náirí, and some that are a healthy dose of both. We also develop trust issues from a bad batch of Christmas crackers... They don't always crack, mar a tharlaíonn sé. Cinnte, ba mhaith linn lua anseo go bhfuilimid ana-bhuíoch go deo díbhse, ár n-éisteoirí. Murach sibhse, ní bheimis ar an turas seo ar chor ar bith.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an tríú lá déag de mhí na Nollag. Is mise Siubhán Nic Amhlaoibh.Tá teaghlach Patrick Rooney, an chéad leanbh a fuair bás sna Trioblóidí, le "cúiteamh suntasach" a fháil tar éis caingean dlí i gcoinne Sheirbhís Póilíní Thuaisceart Éireann as a dhúnmharú mídhleathach sa bhliain 1969. Lámhachadh Patrick, buachaill 9 mbliana d'aois, ina cheann ag Árasáin Dhuibhise i mBéal Feirste le linn oibríochta ag Constáblacht Ríoga Uladh (RUC), a scaoil suas le 200 babhta ó ghunnaí meaisín suite i bhfeithiclí. Bhí Patrick ina árasán lena theaghlach, ag lorg foscadh i seomra leapa, nuair a bhuail piléar é. Chuir an RUC bac ar imscrúduithe ina dhiaidh sin, agus fuair tuarascáil Ombudsman na bpóilíní in 2021 teipeanna suntasacha oibríochtúla agus imscrúdaitheacha. Mar thoradh ar an chaingean dlí, a ghlac máthair Patrick, Alice Rooney, thángthas ar shocrú lena n-áirítear leithscéal foirmiúil ón PSNI, ina n-aithneofar fulaingt an teaghlaigh. Tugann an socrú, tar éis 56 bliain, roinnt ceartais don teaghlach.Seoladh foclóir nua Gaeilge an tseachtain seo ag an iarsmalann EPIC i mBaile Átha Cliath. Is é an foclóir seo, a sheol an tUachtarán Catherine Connolly ag imeacht Dé Máirt, an chéad fhoclóir cuimsitheach aonteangach Gaeilge-Gaeilge. Dúirt an tUachtarán Connolly gur "acmhainn ríthábhachtach in aon teanga bheo é foclóir aonteangach nua-aimseartha, ina leagann pobal na teanga amach saibhreas agus uathúlacht na teanga ina cuid focal féin, seachas trí mhéan teanga eile". Cuireadh tús le hobair ar An Foclóir Nua Gaeilge i mí Mheán Fómhair 2022, agus bhí príomheagarthóir foclóir Fhoras na Gaeilge Pádraig Ó Mianáin agus clárbhainisteoir foclóra Cormac Breathnach i gceannas ar an tionscadal. Tá sciar tosaigh de 20,000 iontráil, ina bhfuil 40,000 ciall focail, beo ar Focloir.ie. Tá príomhchéim an tionscadail foclóra le bheith críochnaithe faoi Lúnasa 2027, agus faoin am sin beidh 30,000 iontráil agus 80,000 ciall ann.Tá balla ollmhór faoi uisce aimsithe ag seandálaithe mara na Fraince amach ó chósta na Briotáine, atá thart ar 7,000 bliain d'aois. Síltear gur ó shochaí na Clochaoise a d'fhéadfadh sé a bheith agus gurbh é a imeacht faoi na farraigí mar bhunús le finscéal faoi chathair áitiúil a chuaigh faoi uisce. Creideann na seandálaithe gur gaiste éisc nó claí a bhí sa bhalla 120 méadar (394 troigh) – an foirgneamh faoi uisce is mó a fuarthas riamh sa Fhrainc – chun cosaint a thabhairt i gcoinne leibhéil na farraige ag ardú. Nuair a tógadh é ar Île de Sein ag rinn thiar na Briotáine, bhí an balla ar an chladach, ach tá sé faoi naoi méadar uisce sa lá atá inniu ann. Tá an balla 20 méadar ar leithead agus dhá mhéadar ar airde ar an mheán. Fuair tumadóirí clocha móra eibhir – nó monailití – ag gobadh amach os cionn an bhalla i dhá líne chomhthreomhara. Más ceart an hipitéis faoin ghaiste éisc, is dócha go mbíodh líonra déanta as bataí agus craobhacha faoi chúram na monailítí ag gobadh amach chun iasc a ghabháil de réir mar a tharraing an taoide siar. Le mais iomlán de 3,300 tonna, is cinnte gur obair phobail shuntasach a bhí sa bhalla.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an séú lá de mhí na Nollag. Is mise Oisín Mac Conamhna.I Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá Déardaoin, thug an tAimiréal Frank Bradley fianaise don Chomhdháil faoi dhá ionsaí a rinne Cabhlach Mheiriceá ar bhád a bhí ag iompar drugaí, de réir Washington, ar an dara lá de mhí Mheán Fómhair.
