Tá lucht leanúna agus ceoltóirí ag cuimhneamh ar Dolly Parton mar fhathach i saol an cheoil, tar éis di bás a fháil in aois a 80 bliain. Idir an dá linn, tá ómós á thabhairt di ar fud Mheiriceá, áit a bhfuil bratacha á n-ísliú agus an Empire State Building soilsithe le soilse bándearga.
Níos gaire don bhaile, tugadh fear sna daichidí chun an ospidéil tar éis timpiste aonfheithicle ar an M9 agus é ag fágáil Phort Láirge tráthnóna Dé Máirt. Tuigtear nach bhfuil a ghortuithe bagrach don bheatha agus tá fiosrúcháin na nGardaí ar bun.
Ar nóta níos dearfaí, tá Mark Graham as Port Láirge agus Ellie O’Byrne as Corcaigh le deireadh a chur lena dturas rothar timpeall an domhain i dTalamh an Éisc Dé Sathairn. Tá breis agus 31,000 ciliméadar agus 24 tír curtha díobh acu ó mhí Feabhra 2025.
Agus ar deireadh, tá ráta na bhfoirgneamh tráchtála folamh i bPort Láirge ardaithe go 15.5%, os cionn an mheáin náisiúnta. Taifeadadh an ráta ab airde sa chontae i nDún Garbhán ag 20.4%, agus an ráta ab ísle sa Trá Mhór ag 12.1%.
Fans and musicians are remembering Dolly Parton as a giant of the music world following her death at the age of 80. Meanwhile, tributes are taking place across America, with flags being lowered and the Empire State Building illuminated in pink.
Closer to home, a man in his 40s was taken to hospital following a single-vehicle collision on the M9 leaving Waterford on Tuesday evening. His injuries are understood to be non-life-threatening and Garda enquiries are continuing.
On a more positive note, Waterford’s Mark Graham and Cork’s Ellie O’Byrne are set to complete their round-the-world cycling journey in Newfoundland on Saturday. They have covered more than 31,000 kilometres and travelled through 24 countries since February 2025.
And finally, Waterford’s commercial vacancy rate has risen to 15.5%, above the national average. Dungarvan recorded the county’s highest rate at 20.4%, while Tramore had the lowest at 12.1%.
