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. Scaoil siad dhá dhiúracán ar an mbád ar dtús, a bhris as a chéile ina dhá chuid é,agus a mharaigh gach duine ar bord seachas beirt, a bhí fágtha, de réir cosúlachta, agus iad longbhriste sa raic. Ansin scaoil an Cabhlach dhá dhiúracán eile chun an bheirt údaí a mharú, agus d'éirigh leo. Is coir chogaidh é, agus sárú ar Choinbhinsiún na Ginéive, mairnéalaigh longbhriste a mharú. Ta sé ráite ag an rialtas le Uachtarán Trump go bhfuil cogadh ar siúl idir Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá agus na cairtéil atá ag iomportáil drugaí ann, acht is conspóideach an cogadh é, ó thaobh an dlí de, mar sin féin.I Sasana, tá fiche a hocht duine a bhí ar scoil le Nigel Farage i gColáiste Dulwich, Londain, tar éis a rá don nuachtán The Guardian go bhfaca siad bulaíocht chiníoch nó fhrith-sheimíteach uaidh ag an am sin. Dúirt Peter Ettedgui, stiúrthóir scannán mór le rá atá ina Ghiúdach, go raibh sé mar nós agFarage a rá leis go raibh an ceart ag Hitler, nó a bheith ag siosarnach leis amhail is dá mbeadh gás nimhiúil ann. Dúirt Yinke Bankole gur thosaigh sé ar scoil ann nuair a raibh sé naoi mbliana d'aois, agus bhí Farage thart ar seacht déag, agus gur cuimhin leis Farage ag díriú a láimhe agus ag rá leis gur sin an bealach ar ais go dtí an Afraic. Dúirt comhscoláirí éagsúla gur chonaic siad Farage ag canadh “Gásaigh iad uilig”, nó agmí-úsáid a chumhachta mar chinnire go ciníoch; agus dúirt roinnt comhscoláirí go bhfaca siad Farage ag caitheamh maslaí ciníocha go minic. Ghlac Farage páirt ollmhór i bhfeachtas an Bhreatimeachta, agus anois tá sé i gceannas ar an bpáirtí Reform UK, atá chun tosaigh ar leibhéil náisiúnta ar thart ar 30% snaphobalbreitheanna sa Ríocht Aontaithe. Dúirt Farage nár thug sé íde béil chiníoch d'aon ghnó riamh, agus nach ndearna sé iarracht dhíreach, dháiríre daoine a ghortú.Bhí tráthnóna mór ann in Áras Inis Gluaire i mBéal an Mhuirthead Dé hAoine, le tacaiocht mhór ón eagraíocht Gaeilge Iorrais, nuair a sheol Aire na Gaeltachta Dara Calleary an leabhar “Scéal Muirí Mhuigh Eo” le Breandán Mac Conamhna, foilsithe ag Mayo Books Press. Insíonn an leabhar scéal oidhreacht mhuirí an chontae ón gClochaois go dtí an lá áta inniu ann. Tá sé scríofa go hiomlán i gcanúint Iorrais, tuaisceart Mhuigh Eo, agus dár leis an údar, a rugadh i mBéal Deirg ar chósta thuaidh an chontae sa bhliain 1936, is é an chéad leabhar dá leithéid ar feadh seachtó bliain, ó tháinig an Caighdeán Oifigiúil an an bhfód.

Beidh cruinniú ag Seansailéir na Gearmáine Friedrich Merz le Príomh-Aire na Beilge Bart De Wever agus Uachtarán an Coimisiúin Eorpaigh Ursula Von der Leyen sa mBruiséil inniu chun plean an Coimisiún socmhainní reoite na Rúise a chur i dtreo na hÚcráine.

Tríocha bliain ó shin, tharla rud nár tharla riamh roimhe. Thug Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe Bill Clinton - an polaiteoir is cumhachtaí ar domhan - cuairt ar Thuaisceart na hÉireann don chéad uair riamh. Ar lá stairiúil i 1995, le linn shos cogaidh an IRA nuair a leagadh síos na gunnaí agus na buamaí, sheas Clinton os comhair na mílte i nDoire agus labhair sé faoin tsíocháin. Ach cad chuige go raibh daoine ina éadan? Agus cén tionchar a bhí ag an chuairt ar an choimhlint? Labhraíonn Tessa Fleming leis an iriseoir polaitíochta John Downing.

Dúirt Uachtarán na hÚcráine Volodymyr Zelensky inné go bhféadfaí teacht ar comhaontú níos doimhne, bunaithe ar na prionsabail atá i bplean leasaithe na Stát Aontaithe deireadh a chur leis an gcogadh leis an Rúis.

America is asking Ukraine to relinquish the Donbas region. Meiriceá ag iarraidh ar an Úcráin réigiún Donbas a ligean uaithi. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that he is willing to cooperate with the United States on the peace plan that that country has drafted regarding the war in Ukraine. Tá sé ráite ag Uachtarán na hÚcráine Volodymyr Zelensky go bhfuil sé sásta comhoibriú leis na Stáit Aontaithe maidir leis an bplean síochána atá dréachtaithe ag an tír sin faoin gcogadh san Úcráin. What is needed now, he said, is beneficial work, which must be undertaken honestly and enthusiastically. Obair thairbheach a theastaíonn anois, arsa sé, a gcaithfear tabhairt fúithi go hionraic agus go beo. That's what Zelensky had to say about the American plan, however, he did not give any details and it seems from his measured and concise speech that he is really against it. Sin an méid a bhí le rá ag Zelensky faoi phlean na Meiriceánach, áfach, níor thug sé aon sonraí agus dealraíonn sé ón gcaint thomhaiste ghonta a rinne sé go bhfuil col aige leis i ndáiríre. US Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll was in Kiev yesterday, where he discussed the plan first with representatives of the Ukrainian Government and then with Zelensky himself. Bhí Rúnaí Arm na Stát Aontaithe Dan Driscoll i gCív inné, áit ar phléigh sé an plean le hionadaithe ó Rialtas na hÚcráine i dtosach agus le Zelensky féin ina dhiaidh sin. A US government spokesman claimed that one of those representatives, Rustem Umerov, accepted the plan after proposing several amendments. Mhaígh urlabhraí ó Rialtas na Stát Aontaithe gur ghlac duine de na hiondaithe sin, Rustem Umerov, gur ghac sé leis an bplean tar éis dó roinnt leasuithe a mholadh. According to the plan, which has not been published but has been seen by the Reuters news agency, Ukraine would cede every inch of the Donbas region in the east of the country to Russia and the number of soldiers in the Ukrainian Army would be halved - in exchange for promises about Ukraine's security. De réir an phlean, nach bhfuil foilsithe ach atá feicthe ag an ngníomhaireacht nuachta Reuters, ghéillfeadh an Úcráin gach orlach de réigiún Donbas in oirthear na tíre don Rúis agus laghdófaí faoina leath an líon saighdiúirí atá in Arm na hÚcráine – é sin mar mhalairt ar ghealltanais faoi shlándáil na hÚcráine. The plan also states that Russia, Ukraine and the European Union would sign a non-aggression treaty; that no soldiers from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization would be sent to Ukraine; and that the number of member states in that organization would not be increased. Deirtear sa phlean freisin go síneodh an Rúis, an Úcráin agus an tAontas Eorpach conradh neamhionsaithe; nach gcuirfí chun na hÚcráine aon saighdiúirí ó Eagraíocht Chonradh an Atlantaigh Thuaidh; agus nach gcuirfí le líon na mballstát san eagraíocht sin. In addition, the international sanctions imposed on Russia since that country invaded Ukraine in early 2022 would be gradually lifted. Ina cheann sin, chuirfí deireadh de réir a chéile leis na smachtbhannaí idirnáisiúnta atá curtha ar an Rúis ó rinne an tír sin ionradh ar an Úcráin i dtús 2022. Russia would be invited back to participate in the G8 forum of countries and the United States would enter into a wide range of economic agreements with Russia regarding energy, natural resources, infrastructure, artificial intelligence, data centers and rare earth minerals in the Arctic region. Thabharfaí cuireadh don Rúis a bheith rannpháirteach an athuair i bhfóram thíortha an G8 agus dhéanfadh na Stáit Aontaithe raon leathan socruithe eacnamaíochta leis an Rúis maidir le fuinneamh, acmhainní nádúrtha, infreastruchtúr, intleacht shaorga, ionaid bhunachar sonraí agus mianraí tearcithreacha i réigiún an Artaigh. It is not known whether the Americans have discussed the plan with other European countries yet, but yesterday the European Union Foreign Ministers indicated that they were not overly impressed with what they had heard about it. Ní fios ar phléigh na Meiriceánaigh an plean le tíortha eile san Eoraip fós ach inné thug Airí Gnóthaí Eachtracha an Aontais Eorpaigh le tuiscint nach raibh siad róthógtha lena raibh cloiste acu ina leith.

Dúirt Uachtarán na hÚcráine Volodymyr Zelensky go n-oibreoidh sé le chéile le hUachtarán Mheiriceá Donald Trump ar an bplean síochána atá réitithe ag ionadaithe ón Rúis agus na Stáit Aontaithe.

Beidh cruinniú ag Uachtarán na hÚcráine Volodymyr Zelensky i gCív inniu le hoifigigh ó airm Mheiriceá agus plean nua le nochtadh ag na Stáit Aontaithe le deireadh a chur leis an gcogadh san Úcráin.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an cúigiú lá déag de mhí na Samhna. Is mise Niall Ó Siadhail.Insealbhaíodh Catherine Connolly mar Uachtarán na hÉireann Dé Máirt, ag searmanas i Halla Naomh Pádráig taobh istigh de Chaisleán Bhaile Átha Cliath. Bhí gaolta agus cairde an Uachtaráin nua i láthair, chomh maith le ceannairí polaitiúla na hÉireann agus an triúr iarUachtarán a mhaireann, Mary Robinson, Mary McAleese agus Micheál D. Ó hUiginn. Cuireadh tús leis an ócáid le beannachtaí ó cheannairí na gcreideamh éagsúil sa tír agus ansin thug Connolly an mionn oifige as Gaeilge agus as Béarla. Ina hóráid luaigh sí na téamaí is tábhachtaí di ina téarma mar Uachtarán: an tsíocháin, neodracht na hÉireann, an ghéarchéim aeráide agus ról na Gaeilge i saol na hÉireann. Is í Connolly an deichiú hUachtarán i stair an stáit agus an tríú bean sa ról. Tá grúpa agóideoirí bundúchasacha i ndiaidh imshuí a chur ar an bhealach isteach go Comhdháil na bPáirtithe nó COP30, imeacht atá ar siúl in Belém i dtuaisceart na Brasaíle faoi láthair. Tá an lucht agóide ag iarraidh ar rialtas na Brasaíle stop láithreach a chur leis na tionscadail forbartha ar fad atá ag tarlú san Amasóin, lena n-áirítear mianadóireacht, lománaíocht, druileáil ola agus tógáil iarnróid nua. Cé go bhfuil an dífhoraoisiú tite 50% le trí bliana anuas, tá an tUachtarán Lula ag brath ar thacaíocht earnáil na talmhaíochta agus cáineadh é as neamhaird a thabhairt ar fhadhbanna móra a bhaineann leis an athrú aeráide.Bhí bua stairiúil ag foireann sacair na hÉireann oíche Déardaoin nuair a bhuaigh siad ar an Phortaingéil a dó a náid i Staid Aviva, toradh a tháinig aniar aduaidh ar lucht leanúna agus lucht anailíse sacair araon. Fuair Troy Parrott as Baile Átha Cliath dhá chúl sa chéad leath agus ansin sa dara leath tugadh cárta dearg do Cristiano Ronaldo, an chéad chárta dearg dá ghairm idirnáisiúnta i ndiaidh 226 cluiche. Bua mór a bhí ann do bhainisteoir fhoireann na hÉireann Heimir Hallgrímsson fosta. Bhí an tÍoslannach faoi bhrú i ndiaidh drochthorthaí go luath san fheachtas seo, lena n-áirítear cluiche a cailleadh i gcoinne na hAirméine. Ní thig leis na himreoirí ceiliúradh a dhéanamh go fóill, áfach. Le deis a bheith acu áit a bhaint amach i gCorn an Domhain i Meiriceá Thuaidh an bhliain seo chugainn, caithfidh siad an bua a fháil in aghaidh na hUngáire Dé Domhnaigh, cluiche a bheidh an-doiligh ar fad.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Defending British interestsHilary Benn is the 25th British Secretary of State since the Conservative government of Ted Heath scrapped the Stormont Parliament in 1972. Whitelaw was the first. I met him during the London talks in July that year. There was then a gap of 23 years before I met another British Secretary of State, Patrick Mayhew. I have met most of the rest since then.The 25 were a mixed bunch both in ability and in temperament. Most we had never heard of before they were given the job. Many we never heard of again after they left here.  A few were friendly. Some, like Roy Mason, were wannabe generals or spymasters who bought enthusiastically into the counter-insurgency strategies of the spooks, Brit military and RUC. Some, like Merlyn Rees, were bumblers who hadn't a clue about the North and probably didn't care, and some were or thought they were, clever and devious. Most of them suffered from delusions of grandeur. I used to call it the English disease but that is probably unfair. Not all English people believe they have the right to rule other countries. But whatever their personalities or politics they all had one thing in common – they were here to defend British national interests – whatever the cost.The battle for hearts and minds of UnionismMichelle O'Neill honoured her commitment to be a First Minister for All when she chose to take part in Sunday's remembrance day ceremony in Belfast. Deputy First Minister Emma Little Pengelly chose not to honour her responsibilities by refusing to attend this week's inauguration of Catherine Connolly as the 10th Uachtarán na hÉireann. The two choices taken by both leaders' highlight again the refusal by unionism to accept the core principles of equality and parity of esteem which are at the heart of the Good Friday Agreement.The battle for hearts and minds of UnionismMichelle O'Neill honoured her commitment to be a First Minister for All when she chose to take part in Sunday's remembrance day ceremony in Belfast.

On this morning's Gift Grub, chaos unfolded at Áras an Uachtaráin when President Michael D. Higgins refused to vacate the premises. There was only one man that could coax him out. Hit play now to hear the episode in full.

Ar an 11 Samhain 2025, Insealbhaíodh an tUachtarán Catherine Connolly mar Uachtarán na hÉireann. Tá an tUachtarán Catherine Connolly ina 10ú Uachtarán ar Éirinn. Toghadh í le 914,143 vóta. Foráiltear i mBunreacht na hÉireann go ndéantar Uachtarán na hÉireann a insealbhú an lá tar éis dhul in éag téarma oifige an Uachtaráin roimhe sin. On 11 November 2025, President Catherine Connolly was inaugurated as President of Ireland. President Catherine Connolly is the 10th President of Ireland. She was elected with 914,143 votes. The Constitution of Ireland stipulates that the President of Ireland is inaugurated on the day following the expiry of the term of office of the preceding President.

Speech by President Connolly at a lunch to celebrate her Inauguration Reáchtálfaidh an tUachtarán Connolly lón in Áras an Uachtaráin chun a hInsealbhú mar 10ú Uachtarán agus Éire a cheiliúradh. President Connolly hosted a lunch at Áras an Uachtaráin to celebrate her Inauguration as 10th President of Ireland.

The newly inaugurated Uachtaráin na hÉireann could be making a visit to Clare very soon. It comes as plans to host a civic reception for President Catherine Connolly have already been set in motion. Catherine Connolly has officially received her seal of office this lunchtime and is now forever more in the history books as the tenth President of Ireland and the third female to hold the position. At her inauguration ceremony at Dublin Castle, President Connolly read the Declaration As Gaeilge, after prayers and reflections were offered by 11 groups, including the Catholic Church, Church of Ireland, Presbyterians and both the Jewish and Islamic communities. Speaking at the event, Connolly says she will be a President for all. Closer to home, Clare County Council has formally congratulated the newest permanent resident of Áras An Uachtaráin and will send an official letter in due course, but one elected representative is wishing to go a step further. Clarecastle Sinn Féin Councillor Tommy Guilfoyle has written to the council requesting the county's highest honour, a civic reception be bestowed on Catherine Connolly. He believes it's fitting given her links to Clare.

Clare County Council has formally congratulated Catherine Connolly ahead of her inauguration as the 10th Uachtaráin na hEireann today. Connolly will officially become the third female President of Ireland in a special ceremony at Dublin Castle this afternoon. It will be another Presidency retaining strong Clare links to Áras an Uachtaráin, with her husband Brian McEnery hailing from Ennis. Michael D Higgins, meanwhile, received a standing ovation in the council chamber after his term in office concluded last night. A past pupil of Ballycar National School and St Flannan's College alumnus, Higgin's was honoured with a civic reception in 2012, before becoming a Freeman of Ennis a year later. Maghera Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Hayes says he was an incredible ambassador for the county.

After 14 years in office, we have reached the final day of Michael D Higgins' time as Uachtarán na hÉireann. But what sort of legacy is he leaving behind? Joining Shane to discuss is Dr Eoin O'Malley, Teaches Politics at Dublin City University Fergus Finlay, Columnist with The Irish Examiner and Former CEO of Barnardos.

Today, after 14 years of serving as Uachtarán na hÉireann, Michael D. Higgins will step down as President. Outspoken, opinionated and even somewhat controversial in his time - he was a President who loved the arts, literature and the Irish language. But, how will he be remembered?Stuart Clark, Deputy editor of Hot Press, Avril Ryan, CEO of Gaisce - The President's Award, Leonie Cornelius, Garden Designer and author and more join Andrea to discuss.

Singer Songwriter, Dermot Kennedy, Poet, Rita-Ann Higgins, Professor of Politics at DCU Gary Murphy, and Social Justice Campaigner Ruairí McKiernan look back at the two terms of Michael D Higgins' presidency as he prepares to depart the Áras next week.

Celebrating our Language, Arts and CultureComhghairdeas to all of those who helped make Oireachtas na Samhna the huge success it was. Thousands of Irish language speakers from across the island of Ireland spent part of last week enjoying the music, dance, culture, arts, craic and discussions that are part of the oldest Irish language and arts event on the island of Ireland. The Waterfront Hall and other venues were filled with the very young to the not so young Gaels, all actively and enthusiastically enjoying the enormous diversity of Oireachtas na Samhna. Many took part in competitions, including sean-nós singing, sean-nós step dancing and lúibíní (poetic verses).A special well done to Máirín Nic Dhonnchadha and the leadership team which ensured the smooth running of an amazing and ambitious occasion. The presence of President Elect Catherine Connolly, due to be sworn in as Uachtarán na hÉireann next week was a special bonus. The Oireachtas was her first visit North following the presidential election. So too did the presence of Pól Deeds, the new Irish Language Commissioner, who along with Lee Reynolds the Ulster Scots Commissioner, will take up their posts next week.This is another important step forward. The Irish Language Commissioner will play an important role in enhancing the opportunities for the growth of the Irish Language.Ról na nGael i dTógáil Éire NuaCeann de na himeachtaí ag Oireachtas na Samhna eagraíodh é ag Coimisiún Shinn Féin ar Thodhchaí na hÉireann. Scrúdaigh sé go sonrach ról na nGaelgóirí i dtreo aontú na hÉireann.Cuir Tomás Ó Néill fáilte roimh an tionál ar son Shinn Fein mBeal Feirste. D'oscail Aisling Reilly MLA, duine den ghlúin úr seo sa chathair, an imeacht agus labhair sí ar na deiseanna romhainn fríd Aontacht – “deis fháis, deis cheangail agus deis ar rathúlachta chomhchoitinn”.Dúirt Aisling gur mór an seans go mbeadh ann don Reifreann le linn Uachtaránacht Catherine Connolly agus go bhfuil muidne, muintir na hÉireann i bhfad chun tosaigh ar an Rialtas. Lá i ndiaidh lae, tá níos mó daoine, eagraíochtaí agus grúpaí a rá go bhfuil dualgas ar an Rialtas i mBaile Átha Cliath tabhairt fán phleanáil agus ullmhúchán do reifreann agus d'athaontú na tíre.The Olive is never just a TreeThe number of people killed by Israel's genocidal war on the Palestinian people of the Gaza Strip has passed 68,000, with a further 10,000 at least still buried under the rubble. Over 150,000 have been wounded, many of them permanently disabled.  The most recent figures on Israeli actions in Gaza reveal that the so-called ceasefire that began on 10 October is far from that. So far Israeli forces have violated the ceasefire on 194 occasions, including 55 shootings and 55 shellings. Other attacks have occurred since then. At least 226 people, including 97 children have been killed. What price the ceasefire?Last week, the Israeli government allowed some heavy machinery in to help in the search for dead Israeli captives. They continue to ban heavy equipment for the retrieval of Palestinian victims.Under the agreement agreed between the USA, Qatar, Egypt and Turkey humanitarian aid should now be flowing into the Gaza Strip. However, instead of the 600 trucks cleared to enter Gaza each day less than a quarter of this number are currently being allowed in. Critically trucks carrying frozen meat, eggs and livestock are still blocked. 

Is iomaí uair a bhí Albert ag Oireachtas na Gaeilge agus bhí sé ina Uachtarán ar an Oireachtas i 1997 nuair a bhí sé i mBéal Feirste i go deireanach. Inniu ar mhír cartlainne na seachtaine seo, rachaidh muid siar go mí iúil na bliana 1991 nuair a labhair Albert Fry le hÁine Ní Churráin.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an chéad lá de mhí na Samhna. Is mise Niall Ó Cuileagáin.Tá Spéirling Melissa tar éis scrios ollmhór a dhéanamh ar oileáin Mhuir Chairib an tseachtain seo, go háirithe in iardheisceart Iamáice. Bhí luas beagnach 300 ciliméadar san uair faoin ngála gaoithe nuair a tháinig sí i dtír agus í ina catagóir 5 ar dtús mar spéirling. Rinneadh go leor damáiste sa cheantar St Elizabeth agus anois tá cuid mhór den cheantar báite. Scriosadh tithe, botháin na mbocht go háirithe, agus ospidéil, agus tá níos mó ná leathmhilliún daoine gan cumhacht sa cheantar anois. Chuaigh an Spéirling ar aghaidh go Cúba agus Háítí ach ar an ndea-uair, tá neart na gaoithe laghdaithe anois. Fuair ceathrar bás in Iamáice le linn na stoirme agus tuairiscítear go bhfuil thart ar fiche duine marbh in Háítí mar gheall ar na tuilte.Maraíodh timpeall 100 duine agus gortaíodh 200 duine de bharr ionsaithe Iosrael in Gaza an tseachtain seo. Rinne fórsaí míleata Iosrael ionsaithe buamála ar Gaza Dé Máirt, in ainneoin an tsosa comhraic gur cheart a bheith i bhfeidhm sa cheantar le tríseachtaine anuas. De réir Rialtas Iosrael, sháraigh Hamas an sos comhraic nuair a maraíodh saighdiúir Iosraelach in ionsaí. D'éirigh le hUachtarán na Stát Aonaithe Donald Trump an plean síochána a chur le chéile cúpla seachtain ó shin nuair a chuir sé brú ar Netanyahu glacadh leis an bplean. Ach tá sé ráite aige anois go raibh an ceart ag na hIosraelaigh an ruathar aeir a dhéanamh an tseachtain seo agus nach raibh an sos comhraic i mbaol dá bharr. Is léir, áfach, nach bhfuil ach síocháin leochaileach i bhfeidhm sa Mheánoirthear go fóill.Tá Oireachtas na Samhna, an ócáid is mó i gcultúr na nGael, fé lán seoil i mBéal Feirste anois. Tá na himeachtaí siamsaíochta ar siúl ó Dé Céadaoin go dtí Dé Domhnaigh agus tarlóidh níos mó ná 200 ócáid éagsúla le linn na seachtaine, lena n-áirítearcomórtais taibhealaíona, cheoil agus liteartha. Tá go leor polaiteoirí i láthair: tá an seanpholaiteoir Éamon Ó Cuív ina Uachtarán ar an Oireachtais, d'oscail Aire na Gaeltachta Dara Calleary an t-imeacht go hoifigiúil Dé Céadaoin agus bhí laoch nua na huaire, Uachtarán tofa na hÉireann Catherine Connolly, i láthair freisin. Fuair Connolly moladh ón leas a bhain sí as an nGaeilge le linn an toghcháin agus bhí na céadta ag iarraidh grianghraf a fháil léi. Tá sé oiriúnach go bhfuil an tOireachtas agtarlú i mBéal Feirste toisc gurb as an gcathair é an Chéad Choiminisineir Gaeilge sa Tuaisceart, Pól Deeds, a ceapadh sa phost Dé Máirt.

Na ceisteanna is mó a bhaineann leis an nGaeilge faoi láthair de réir na ceannasaithe ar na heagraíochtaí seo. Na hathruithe agus dúshláin a bhaineann leis an nGaeilge agus an Ghaeltacht, i bhfianaise an méid atá pléite ag Oireachtas na Samhna i mBéal Feirste.

Labhraíonn Uachtarán nua-thofa na hÉireann, Catherine Connolly, beo as Oireachtas na Samhna faoin méid a bhfuil sí ag súil le baint amach le linn a tréimhse oifige.

Hope and OpportunityBa mhaith liom mo chomhghairdeas a ghabháil le Catherine Connolly agus a foireann. Maith sibh as feachtas Uachtaránachta dearfach, forásach agus trócaireach a chur chun cinn.I want to extend my congratulations to Catherine Connolly and her team. Well done for fighting a positive, progressive, compassionate and cohesive Presidential campaign. Well done also to the many Sinn Féin activists from all parts of the island and all the others who enthusiastically handed out leaflets, erected posters, canvassed thousands of doors and worked hard to get the vote out last Friday.Lots of words have been used to described the outcome. Stunning. Triumph. Historic. And many more. For me the two most important are hope and opportunity.Catherine Connolly was an exceptional candidate. The success of her campaign cannot be separated from her authenticity and her connectiveness with the electorate and with those, many of them first timers, who campaigned for her. That campaign and the emergence of a centre left alliance of parties backing Catherine has provided hope that the century long dominance of the two conservative parties, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, can be ended. The Vinyl GiftI love listening to music. There is nothing as uplifting as a good live session. And the music stays in your head forever after,  to be dipped into when the need or notion moves you. For example, Martin Hayes magical concert last week in Belfast's Grand Opera House. Its still jigging in my brain. Martin was well served by guitarist Conal O'Kane and bouzouki and concertina driver Brian Donnellan. They were joined for the encore sets by Donál O'Connor and Neil Martin, two of my favourite musicans, who opened the event along with singer Mary Dillon who was outstanding.  All  in all a wonderful evening. Martin Hayes  playing was amazing, elegent, draoíluíleacht, exquisive, sublime and betwitching. He transported us to a higher state of being. And all of us are the better for it. But it isn't possible to get to live events all the time. So apart from the radio I have a fine collection of recorded  music. They include cassette tapes, CDs and LPs. Some are over fifty years old.Seamus Drumm gave me an ipod of over a thousand tunes years ago. I'm still working my way through  them.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an cúigiú lá is fiche de mhí Dheireadh Fómhair. Is mise Barra Mac Giolla Aoláin.Bhí seacht déag duine le cur os comhair cúirte Déardaoin tar éis dhá oíche foréigin ag ionad lóistín Citywest i mBaile Átha Cliath. Gabhadh 24 duine san iomlán, cúigear ógánach ina measc, le linn na n-eachtraí, nuair a caitheadh diúracáin agus tinte ealaíne ar na gardaí. Gortaíodh triúr gardaí, agus tugadh beirt acu chuig an ospidéal. Bhí breis is trí chéad garda ar dualgas, lena n-áirítear aonad ord poiblí, marcaigh, agus tacaíocht ón aer. Bhí an gunna uisce ar fáil ach níor úsáideadh é. Scaoileadh na cúigear ógánach faoi Chlár Athstiúrtha Óige an Gharda Síochána, agus scaoileadh beirt fhear eile gan chúiseamh. Dúirt an Taoiseach Micheál Martin go raibh na hionsaithe “gránna agus brúidiúil”, agus go mbeidh freagra láidir ón gcóras ceartais. Thosaigh na hagóidí Dé Luain, tar éis d'fhear teacht os comhair cúirte maidir le líomhain faoi ionsaí gnéis. Tá imscrúdú leanúnach ar siúl ag na gardaí le daoine eile a aithint.Tharla eachtra stairiúil sa Séipéal Sistíneach an tseachtain seo, nuair a rinne Rí Séarlas III agus an Pápa Leo XIV urnaí le chéile – an chéad uair ó aimsir Anraí VIII a ndeachaigh monarc Briotanach agus Pápa Caitliceach i gcomh-urnú. Bhí Banríon Camilla i láthair, ina suí taobh leis an Rí gar don altóir. Dúirt cléir Anglacánach gur “leigheas ar an stair” a bhí sa nóiméad seo, agus gur comhartha é ar an chaidreamh níos dlúithe idir an dá eaglais. Bhronn an Pápa teideal “Bráthair Ríoga” ar an Rí ag Basilica Naomh Pól, agus mar mhalairt thug an Rí onóracha Briotanacha don Phápa, lena n-áirítear Cros Mór Ord Bath. Tharla an cruinniú seo le linn Bhliain Iubhaile na gCaitliceach, agus feictear é mar chéim mhór eile i dtreo cairdeas idir an Eaglais Chaitliceach agus an Comaoineach Anglacánach.Tá deireadh le tréimhse Mhichíl D. Ó hUiginn mar Uachtarán na hÉireann. Bhí sé ina Uachtarán ar feadh ceithre bliana déag agus tá an-mheas ag an phobal air fós. Bhí beirt iarrthóirí ag seasamh sa toghchán uachtaránachta, a tharla inné: Catherine Connolly, polaiteoir neamhspleách a bhfuil tacaíocht aici ó pháirtithe ar an eite chlé, agus Heather Humphreys, iarAire Rialtais a bhí ag rith don pháirtí Fine Gael. D'éirigh Jim Gavin as an rás tar éis scannal faoi chíos neamhíoctha.  De réir na bpobalbhreitheanna, is í Catherine Connolly a rachaidh go hÁras an Uachtaráin, ach tá súil le torthaí an toghcháin anocht. Beidh téarma seacht mbliana ag an bhuaiteoir. Is í an tUachtarán an ceann stáit agus cosnaíonn sí Bunreacht na hÉireann. Bíonn an tUachtarán ag labhairt leis an náisiún agus ag glacadh páirt in imeachtaí móra náisiúnta. *Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Clare's County Registrar says a spoiled vote is "as if the person hadn't voted". A total of 94,054 people are going to polling stations countywide today to indicate their preference for the next occupant of Áras an Uachtaráin. People will have three choices on the ballot paper; Independent Catherine Connolly, Fine Gael's Heather Humphreys and Fianna Fáil's Jim Gavin. A ballot paper is considered a spoiled vote when it's left blank, boxes are ticked rather than numbered, the order of preference isn't clear, the writing isn't legible, the voter identifies themselves in some way or anything is written other than the order of preference. Polling stations are open until 10pm today, and Clare County Registrar and Returning Officer Rita Considine says even if you accidentally spoil your vote, it doesn't count in the electoral process.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 24ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1975 dúnmharaíodh fear agus bean ina dteach feirme, timpeall míle ó Moy I dTír Eoghain. I 2003 bhí dúshlán dlíthiúil leis an rialtas de bharr an choisc caitheamh tobac.

Sin Sugababes le Hold In The Head – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2003. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2001 fuair Kim Gardner bás ó ailse.

I 2006 tháinig Taylor Swift amach lena chéad albam. Bhí sí 16 ag an am nuair a tháinig sé amach agus shroich sé barr na cairteacha agus d'fhan sé ann ar feadh 24 seachtain agus dhíol sí 7 milliúin cóip ag an am. Bhí an t-albam an ceann a d'fhan ar na cairteacha don am is mó – d'fhan sí ann ar feadh 277 seachtain ina iomláine. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Wayne Rooney sa Bhreatain I 1985 agus rugadh amhránaí Drake I gCeanada ar an lá seo I 1986 agus seo chuid de amhrán.
