    jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words : Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com €112 billion to be invested in the State's infrastructure between 2026-2030. €112 billiún le hinfheistiú i mbonneagar an Stáit idir 2026-2030. The Government has published a revised version of the National Development Plan. Tá athleagan den Phlean Forbartha Náisiúnta foilsithe ag an Rialtas. According to the plan, €112 billion will be invested in major infrastructure projects in the State between 2026 and 2030. De réir an phlean, infheisteofar €112 billiún i mórthograí bonneagair sa Stát idir 2026 agus 2030. Housing, transport, energy and water are the infrastructure sectors that are in focus. Tithíocht, iompar, fuinneamh agus uisce na hearnálacha den bhonneagar atá i dtreis. It is said that €30 billion of the €112 billion will come from the money the State received in taxes from the Apple company – an unexpected fund – and from the money received from the sale of the State's shares in the AIB bank. Deirtear go dtiocfaidh €30 billiún den €112 billiún ón airgead a fuair an Stát i gcáin ón gcomhlacht Apple – ciste nach raibh coinne leis – agus ón airgead a fuarthas ó scaireanna an Stáit i mbanc an AIB a dhíol. The rest of the money is new funding. Maoiniú úr atá sa chuid eile den airgead. The housing sector will be given priority in the plan. Is don earnáil tithíochta a thabharfar tús áite sa phlean. €36 billion will be invested in this sector, not including connecting homes to a water supply. €36 billiún a infheisteofar san earnáil sin, gan tithe a nascadh le soláthar úisce a chur san áireamh. €24 billion will be invested in the transport sector, of which €2 billion will be provided for the Dublin Metro. €24 billiún a infheisteofar san earnáil iompair agus cuirfear €2 bhilliún den mhéid sin ar fáil do Mheitreo Bhaile Átha Cliath. €3.5 billion will be set aside for electricity services and this money will be paid to the Electricity Supply Board and Eirgrid. €3.5 billiún a chuirfear i leataobh le haghaidh seirbhísí leictreachais agus is le Bord Soláthair an Leictreachais agus le Eirgrid a íocfar an t-airgead sin. €4.5 billion is to be made available to Irish Water, approximately half to provide water to an additional 300,000 homes and the other half for other major projects. Tá €4.5 billiún le cur ar fáil d'Uisce Éireann, tuairim is a leath chun uisce a sholáthar do 300,000 áras cónaithe breise agus an leath eile le haghaidh mórthograí eile. Announcing the plan in Government House, Taoiseach Micheál Martin said it was the largest investment ever made in the State's infrastructure. Agus an plean á fhógairt aige i dTithe an Rialtais, dúirt an Taoiseach Micheál Martin gurb é an infheistíocht is mó a rinneadh riamh i mbonneagar an Stáit é. Housing is more important than any other aspect of the plan and the private sector must be involved if this major issue is to be resolved, he said. Is tábhachtaí tithíocht ná aon ghné eile den phlean agus caithfidh an earnáil phríobháideach a bheith rannpháirteach ann má táthar leis an gceist mhór sin a réiteach, arsa sé. The opposition has cast doubt on what the Government announced today, however. Tá amhras caite ag an bhfreasúra ar ar fhógair an Rialtas inniu, áfach. Sinn Féin, the Labour Party and the Social Democrats all claimed that the development plan lacked much detail, particularly in terms of housing. Sinn Féin, Páirtí an Lucht Oibre agus na Daonlathaithe Sóisialta, mhaígh siad ar fad nach raibh mórán mionsonraí sa phlean forbartha, go háirithe ó thaobh cúrsaí tithíochta de. The Construction Industry Federation, which has been a vocal voice on the issue, said it was disappointed that no specific major construction projects were announced in the plan and that no deadlines were set for what is planned. Dúirt Cónaidhm Thionscal na Foirgníochta, a bhfuil guthaíocht mhór acu ar an gceist,

Gaza: ionradh á dhéanamh ag fórsaí Iosrael ar Deir al-Balah. It is reported that Israeli military forces have been invading a specific area in the city of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza since early morning. Tuairiscítear go bhfuil ionradh á dhéanamh ag fórsaí míleata Iosrael ó mhoch maidine ar cheantar faoi leith i gcathair Deir al-Balah i lár Gaza. Before they began the siege, the Israelis ordered the thousands of Palestinians living in that particular area to leave immediately. Sular chuir siad tús leis an slad, d'ordaigh na hIosraelaigh do na mílte míle Palaistíneach atá ina gcónaí sa cheantar áirithe sin an áit a thréigean gan mhoill. It is estimated that between 50,000 and 80,000 people are living in the area, many of whom are refugees from Rafah and Khan Younis in southern Gaza, and their only shelter is tents and huts thrown together in destitution. Meastar idir 50,000 agus 80,000 duine a bheith ag cur fúthu sa cheantar, ar dídeanaithe as Rafah agus Khan Younis i ndeisceart Gaza cuid mhór acu agus gan d'fhothain acu ach pubaill agus brácaí a caitheadh le chéile faoi dhithneas. It is reported that these people are now heading south again, hoping to find temporary refuge in the al-Mawasi area, a piece of land near Khan Younis that the Israelis have turned into a prison and where thousands of Palestinian refugees are huddled. Tuairiscítear gur ag tabhairt aghaidh ó dheas arís atá na daoine sin anois agus súil acu tearmann sealadach a fháil i gceantar al-Mawasi, geadán talaimh in aice le Khan Younis atá iompaithe ina chró ag na hIosraelaigh agus a bhfuil na mílte ainniseoirí Palaistíneacha cuachta acu ann. The Israelis appear to intend to build a military highway around Deir al-Balah to separate the city from the rest of central Gaza, as they have already done in other parts of the enclave. Is cosúil go bhfuil rún ag na hIosraelaigh mórbhealach míleata a thógáil thart ar Deir al-Balah leis an gcathair a dheighilt ón gcuid eile de lár Gaza, mar atá déanta acu in áiteanna eile san iamhchríoch cheana.

Malairt campa samhraidh san Iordáin ag CLG na Palaistíne. Young people from the Palestine Gaelic Athletic Association in the West Bank are taking part in a summer camp in Jordan as compensation for their summer trip to Ireland. Tá daoine óga ó Chumann Lúthchleas Gael na Palaistíne sa Bhruach Thiar ag glacadh páirte i gcampa samhraidh san Iordáin mar chúiteamh áirithe ar an turas samhraidh a bhí siad le déanamh ar Éirinn. 33 children and 14 mentors from the Palestinian GAA were due to tour Ireland for the next ten days but the trip had to be cancelled because the Department of Justice refused to grant them visas. Bhí 33 páiste agus 14 meantóir ó CLG na Palaistíne le camchuairt na hÉireann a dhéanamh as seo go ceann deich lá ach b'éigean an turas a chur ar ceal mar gur dhiúltaigh an Roinn Dlí agus Cirt víosaí a lamháil dóibh. The Department said the Palestinians had not provided necessary documents. Dúirt an Roinn nach raibh cáipéisí riachtanacha curtha ar fáil ag na Palaistínigh. An appeal was made but it was too close to the standard day. Rinneadh achomharc ach bhí sé róghar do lá an chaighdeáin. In a statement, the association said that heartbreak had been turned into joy and that they had put the best face on a bad market. I ráiteas, dúirt an cumann go raibh ardú croí déanta den bhriseadh croí agus go raibh an chuma is fearr curtha ar an drochmhargadh acu. The children were said to be looking forward to the summer camp in the Jordanian capital, Amman. Dúradh go raibh na páistí ag tnúth go mór leis an gcampa samhraidh i bpríomhchathair na hIordáine, Amman. Two senior Dublin goalkeepers, Conor Donohue and Fergal Whitely, are involved in the summer camp and all participants will come together to watch the All- Ireland Final on a big screen in Amman this Sunday. Beirt bháireoirí le foireann sinsir Bhaile Átha Cliath, Conor Donohue and Fergal Whitely, tá siad bainteach leis an gcampa samhraidh agus tiocfadh na rannpháirtithe ar fad le chéile le breathnú ar Chluiche Ceannais na hÉireann ar scáileán mór in Amman an Domhnach beag seo.
