Ard-Feis Fine Gael up today.
Ard-Fheis Fhine Gael ar bun inniu.
Fine Gael members are meeting in Athlone today for the party’s General Assembly.
Tá baill Fhine Gael ag teacht le chéile i mBaile Átha Luain inniu d’Ard-Fheis an pháirtí.
An Tánaiste Leo Varadkar will give the leader’s speech at 18:30 this evening, a month before the exchange of offices with Fianna Fáil comes into effect, an exchange which will again be carried out by the Taoiseach.
Tabharfaidh An Tánaiste Leo Varadkar óráid an cheannaire uaidh ar 18:30 tráthnóna, mí sula dtiocfaidh an malartú oifigí le Fianna Fáil i bhfeidhm, malartú a dhéanfaidh Taoiseach de an athuair.
He will emphasize, he says, the success of the party’s policies while in Government for ten years, as well as recommendations for tackling the challenges ahead.
Cuirfidh sé béim, a deir sé, ar an rath ar bhí ar pholasaithe an pháirtí agus iad sa Rialtas le deich mbliana, chomh maith le moltaí faoi dhul i ngleic leis na dúshláin atá romhainn amach.
The Ardfeise’s motto is ‘Leadership, Stability and Vision’ and according to Leo Varadkar people can trust the party in times of need because of their experience in government.
‘Ceannaireacht, Seasmhacht agus Fís’ é mana na hArd-Fheise agus dar le Leo Varadkar gur féidir le daoine muinín a chur sa pháirtí in am an ghátair de bharr a dtaithí i mbun rialtais.
One of the reasons Athlone was chosen, said Leo Varadkar, was to draw attention to the fact that the mid-country region has the lowest level of unemployment and that it has seen the largest increase in new jobs in a year.
Ceann de na cúiseanna a roghnaíodh Baile Átha Luain, a dúirt Leo Varadkar, é aird a tharraingt ar an leibhéal is ísle dífhostaíochta bheith sa réigiún lár-tíre agus gur ann a chonacthas an t- ardú is mó ar phostanna nua le bliain.
There are a number of resolutions to be presented to the delegates who are opposing the Government’s policies.
Tá roinnt rún le cur faoi bhráid na dtoscairí atá ag cur in aghaidh pholasaithe an Rialtais.
One calls for an end to the levy on concrete blocks, while another calls for the reopening of the peat electricity generating stations at Shannon Bridge and Athleigh.
Iarrann ceann amáin go gcuirfidh deireadh leis an tobhach ar bhlocanna concréide, agus iarrann ceann eile go ndéanfar na stáisiún ginte leictreachais móna ag Droichead na Sionainne agus Baile Átha Liag a athoscailt.
This is the party’s 81st Ard-Feis and the first live one since 2019 due to Covid-19
Seo hé an 81ú Ard-Fheis ag an bpáirtí agus an chéad cheann sa mbeo ó 2019 de bharr covid 19
