Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an ceathrú lá fichead de mhí na Bealtaine. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Tá gorta faoi lán seoil in Gaza. Tá sé fógartha ag ceannaire gnóthaí daonnúla na Náisiún Aontaithe, Stephen Fletcher, go bhféadfadh 14,000 páiste bás a fháil mura gcuirtear bia ar fáil dóibh láithreach. In ainneoin cáineadh forleathan ón bpobal idirnáisiúnta, níor cheadaigh Iosrael ach naoi leoraí cúnaimh isteach i nGaza, cé go bhfuil níos mó ná 2.3 milliún duine ocrach le beagnach trí mhí. I dteachtaireacht físe ar na meáin shóisialta, dúirt Príomh-aire Iosrael, Benjamin Netanyahu, go bhfuil Iosrael chun smacht a fháil ar Gaza ar fad. Mar gheall ar an ngéarchéim atá ag dul in olcas, cháin Príomh-aire na Ríochta Aontaithe, Keir Starmer, Iosrael agus é ag labhairt os comhair na parlaiminte níos luaithe sa tseachtain. Bíodh sin mar atá, sheachain sé úsáid a bhaint as na focail ‘glanadh eitneach' nó ‘cinedhíothú', agus níor gheall sé ach oiread go stopfadh sé ag díol arm le hIosrael.Tá fáilte curtha ag Gaeilgeoirí i dTuaisceart na hÉireann roimh an gcinneadh tuairim is 100 comhartha dhátheangacha a chur suas i gContae an Dúin agus i gContae Ard Mhacha. Cé go raibh polaiteoirí Aontachtacha ina choinne le sé bliana, tá sé deimhnithe anois ag an dá chomhairle contae go mbeidh na comharthaí le feiceáil go luath. Leanann sé seo le polasaí na gcomhairlí contae an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn. Úsáidtear comharthaí dátheangacha cheana féin ar fhoirgnimh údaráis áitiúil sna ceantair seo. Tagann an scéal seo ag an am céanna go bhfuil mic léinn ag Ollscoil na Banríona agus Ollscoil Uladh ag éileamh comharthaí Gaeilge ar an gcampas.Tá painéal imreoirí roghnaithe ag bainisteoir fhoireann sacair ban na hÉireann, Carla Ward, don dá chluiche dheireanacha i Sraith na Náisiún. Imreofar an chéad chluiche in aghaidh na Tuirce thall in Iostanbúl an deireadh seachtaine seo chugainn, agus beidh siad ar ais sa bhaile an tseachtain dár gcionn in aghaidh na Slóivéine i gCorcaigh. Má tá seans ar bith acu críochnú ar bharr an ghrúpa, caithfidh siad an dá chluiche a bhuachaint. Tá Erin Healy, tosaí le Adelaide United san Astráil, ar an bpainéal den chéad uair riamh, chomh maith le Louise Quinn sula n-éireoidh sí as sacar gairmiúil go hiomlán.
