Fingal County Council has said that it is not responsible for the more than 50 Roma adults and children who have been encamped at the M50 roundabout in Ballymun for almost two months.
A spokesperson said that the council 'has no role in removing these people [the extended Rostas family] from the roundabout at Sillogue'.
'They are not considered to be Travellers under the legislation which we have responsibility for enforcing,' she said.
The spokesperson added that the council was satisfied that the issue was one of immigration and not social housing, and was therefore the responsibility of the Department of Justice.
She said that the local authority is in regular contact with the Department of Justice, the HSE and gardaí on this issue.
It emerged earlier that three of the Roma children are now being cared for by the Health Service Executive.
Yesterday, campaigners for social justice said the Roma people were living in horrific conditions and that they feared an outbreak of disease at the camp.
Concern was also raised about reports that the families had been subjected to racist abuse and that eggs had been thrown at them.

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Monday stressed his country's stance on the Syrian crisis, as he met a Syrian presidential advisor, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. During his meeting in Beijing with Syria's Presidential Political and Media Advisor Bouthaina Shaaban, Wang said China's stance on the issue includes joint international efforts against terrorism, a political solution and alleviation of the humanitarian crisis, according to the report.
"China supports anti-terrorism campaign in compliance with international laws and with the agreement of countries involved," Wang was quoted as telling Shaaban.
"China backs the UN-led political solution on the Syrian crisis and advocates a third Geneva conference on the issue at a proper time," the foreign minister said. "China supports the sovereign independence and territorial integrity of Syria and its exploration of a development path that suits its own national conditions. The destiny of Syria should be ultimately decided by its people," Wang added.
Shaaban said her country supports all efforts conducive to a political solution on the Syrian crisis.
"Syria appreciates China's stance on the issue and welcomes China's positive and important role," she said.
Syria has been in the throes of conflict since 2011, when opposition actions against the government of President Bashar al-Assad evolved into a running war that also saw the emergence of al-Qaida-linked groups such as the Nursra Front and extremist groups like the Islamic State.
According to UN estimates, an estimated 220,000 people have been killed in the conflict and half of the Syrian population displaced, fueling an exodus of refugees to neighboring states, Europe and other countries.

TeleSur | – –
More than 70 percent of U.S. Muslims said that they will vote for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the U.S. presidential election, according to a new survey released Thursday by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, CAIR.
The national survey said that 72 percent would vote for Clinton while only four percent of those surveyed said they intend to vote for Republican candidate Donald Trump, three percent said they would vote for Greens Candidate Jill Stein and just two percent for Libertarian Gary Johnson. Of those surveyed 12 percent said that they remained undecided.
The national survey indicates that 86 percent of registered Muslims voters intend to cast their vote in the November 8 election where Muslims in the survey named civil rights, Donald Trump’s proposed Muslim ban and national security amongst their most important issues.
Similar to a poll from 2012, 67 percent of Muslims said they were closer to the Democratic Party. Just six percent said they were closer to the Republican Party, compared to nine percent in 2012.
Sixty two percent of participants said that the Republican Party was unfriendly to Muslims, up from 51 percent in 2012.
Unsurprisingly, 91 percent said that Trump’s plan for a temporary ban on Muslim travelers entering the U.S. was wrong, with 82 percent in support of resettling Syrian refugees.
The poll revealed that 30 percent of Muslims had experienced racial discrimination or profiling over the last year, with 85 percent saying that Islamophobia and anti-Muslim rhetoric had increased in the U.S over the same period.
While Trump had been making gains on Clinton, more revelations of Trump’s misogyny has seen his support from the electorate and indeed fellow Republicans drop off.

Asked about the channels through which respondents had followed the censure debate:
43.81 per cent said social media;

Oman's average inflation rate to reach 4.1pct this year
(MENAFN) Average inflation rate in Oman is projected at 4.1 percent this year, an increase from 1.1 percent in 2016, which is much lower than the 8 percent inflation for the whole MENA region.
Accordingly, the inflation rate calculated in terms of consumer price index (CPI) will stabilize at almost 3 percent by 2020.
Furthermore, the year on year inflation rate for the Jan-March period of the year was 2.8 percent, which was driven by an increase in transportation costs at 10.8 percent.
The projected increase in the inflation rate is consistent with the removal of subsidies, higher projected interest rates and the debt-financed budget deficit.

Bishop says g g under more pressure to consider the future. Bishop says that his bishop will do whatever he can to ensure the safety and the welfare of our clergy.
He says that he has spoken with those affected and that they are upset about the church’s handling of the situation.
“I have spoken to those people today and talked to their families. And I think the reason that I have spoken to those families is that I’ve met with their bishop, and he told me that that’s why he agreed to meet with them and explain to their family why he was going to meet with those concerned,” Bishop said. “I think he believes that they’re being mis-handled, and that those families want what’s best for themselves,” he said.
But Bishop says he and the archdiocese are also doing everything they can to support the affected clergy.
“We have the support of the diocese of Chicago,” he said. “We have the support of the church. We have our bishop and his staff, and we’ll continue to work with them. And we will continue to do what we can to ensure that the safety and the welfare of the clergy is protected.”
But Bishop says that the bishops are going to meet with each of the concerned individuals individually to make sure that they will be receiving the attentionnatyasastra.com that is appropriate for what is going on.
“I have an ongoing discussion with the members of the bis우리카지노hop’s department and my diocese that’s going on with the various members of the church, and that conversation has to take place,” Bishop said. “When the bishops meet with the members of the congregation, they’ll have meetings every couple of weeks, and those meetings will involve them going through and meeting with different individuals.”
But Bishop says he is frustrated by the fact that people don’t seem to understand what these situations are.
“I’ve spoken with the representatives of the members of the community, and I believe that people understand the importance of what is going on, that the concerns they’re having are legitimate,” he said. “And we’re going to try to facilitate the recovery of the people who have been hurt, but we’re going to not give up, and we’ll be working with everyone involved to take care of these people.”

Doha: A delegation from Baladna Food Industries visited the El Beyadh province of Algeria to discuss the possibility of launching a large-scale dairy investment project in the region.
The Baladna delegation, which was accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, visited a model farm in the Bougtob area of Algeria's western province, where plans were presented for the establishment of a milk production and cow breeding project that can prove to be a huge asset for Algeria's periodic milk supply crisis.
The planned project area covers over ten thousand hectares. Depending on the results of the feasibility reports on soil and climate, the project is expected to launch at the beginning of next year.
Commenting on the visit, Piet Hilarides, Baladna CEO said:“The visit to the pilot farm in Bougtob was one of the most important steps in our discussion about dairy production and breeding in the region. This is a very encouraging relationship as Algeria is a promising market with growing needs, and Baladna is well-equipped to create a successful partnership that will support the country's journey towards dairy self-sufficiency.”
The successful launch of this project could help reduce Algeria's milk powder imports, which currently amount to 1.4 billion dollars annually and extend the bilateral relations in the agriculture sector, helping Baladna expand its presence in the Pan-Arab market.

Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency, Joseph Harmon, yesterday told the media that the APNU+AFC Government is looking to revamp the entire structure for housing, “down to the personnel”.
Harmon said this as he hosted post-Cabinet press briefing.
The Director-General was asked about the interventions that have been made on behalf of the hundreds of youths who attended government outreaches across the country in hope of solutions to the woes they face trying to access housing.
He responded saying that government is conscious of the need for housing solutions in Guyana.
The former minister said that interventions were made at the outreaches where several titles were given to persons who were waiting for many years.
Further, Harmon told the media that the outreaches provided perfect opportunities for ministers to understand some of the many problems being faced by citizens who are trying to access housing.
He said, “We heard some horror stories.”
The Director General did not go into details about some of the “horror stories” but said that efforts will be afoot to correct the wrongs going back to even before the time of the APNU+AFC Government.
He said that measures have already been taken.
For instance, President David Granger, “in his wisdom” made the decision to reassign the Minister who had responsibility for housing, Valerie Yearwood. She is now at the Ministry of Agriculture, having responsibility for rural affairs. Former Minister within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, Annette Ferguson, has taken up the mantle over at the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA).

Mumbai, Dec 6 (IANS) Director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, who is awaiting the release of her streaming debut show 'Faadu', has shared that the upcoming series came into existence because she wanted to explore another dimension to a love story and for the same, she made the ideologies and thought-processes of her lead characters the vehicle to drive the narrative.
Elaborating on the same, she said: 'Every time I choose to tell a story I ask myself what's my purpose and why do I want to tell a particular story. With 'Faadu', I wanted to explore a new dimension in the absolute meaning of love between a man and woman, their ideologies and their thought processes which have many dimensions.'
The series tells the story of two lovers (Pavail Gulati and Saiyami Kher) who have different outlook towards life. While Pavail's character comes from the slums and is a hustler, who cuts corners, Saiyami's character comes across as more grounded in the trailer of the series.

The BJP leader said that the Congress should not hide their defeat behind the veil of “split of votes” excuse. “The split of votes has also affected BJP in the 2022 elections. Otherwise, we would have won on few more seats,” he added.

U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice said on Sunday that there are “relatively few” immediate security concerns stemming from Britain’s vote to leave the European Union, but the United States will work to ensure continued U.S.-UK cooperation on counter-terrorism and other security issues.
Rice, in a forum at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, Colorado, said that the United States and Britain will “remain the closest partners and allies,” while the need for NATO members to “stay latched up will be even greater.”
“We will do all we can to ensure that the areas in which we are cooperating — counter-terrorism, you name it, will remain solid,” Rice said.
Asked what President Barack Obama first told British Prime Minister David Cameron when they spoke by telephone on Friday after the vote result was announced, Rice replied: “Bummer.”

Agrihouse Foundation, a pro agribusinesses NGO, in collaboration with the Eat Ghana Chicken Campaign, has held a Chicken festival to create awareness on the importance of the poultry sector to Ghana’s economy.
The event aimed at wooing people to patronise locally produced chicken and to enhance job opportunities within the Poultry industry.
Madam Alberta Nana Akyaa Akosa, Executive Director of Agrihouse Foundation, said the poultry sector had a lot of job opportunities for Ghanaians and asked more local entrepreneurs to venture into the sector to help expand and grow the industry.
She said the festival was not only to raise awarenes of the local chicken but also to highlight its healthy nature compared to the foreign ones.
Madam Akosa said the agricultural sector should be more practical in order to make it more realistic to the ordinary Ghanaian and that the festival was one of the initiatives to achieve that feat.
She said the foundation had other initiatives to train people who wanted to venture into the sector, market linkage platform that helped bring farmers and buyers together, Women in Agriculture programme that ensured that women were recognised, among others, to help promote the industry in the country.
Mr Asiwome Biekro, National Coordinator, Eat Ghana Chicken festival Campaign, said Ghana had some local chicken firms which could supply chicken all year round.
Their aim was to make sure there was a platform to link them to the market that were willing and capable of patronising locally produced chickens.
He said more Ghanaian patronage of local chickens would enable the farmers to enjoy economies of scale which would ultimately lower the cost of local chicken.
Mr Biekro said the festival was part of the Eat Ghana Chicken Campaign initiated by the Ghana Chicken Project, supported by the United States Department for Agriculture (USDA) to help boost the Chicken industry in the country.
He stated that the campaign sought to build the capacity of farmers, adding that the festival was to connect the value chain actors of the industry to broaden the market base within the sector.
Mr Biekro stated that the chicken industry was one of the key areas that could spur Ghana’s economic development , adding, “if it take 25 per cent of the market share, that is lots of jobs for Ghanaian youth.”
Mr Biekro said the festival would be replicated through out the country especially in the three heavy Chicken producing regions: Greater Accra Region, Ashanti Region and Brong Ahafo Region.
The festival was made of many activities such as Eat Chicken Cooking Competition, Chicken Sack Race and Draught.

In a statement, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that with 68 million doses expected to land by the end of July, Canada is on track to have everyone who is eligible fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the end of the summer.
“Canada’s vaccination strategy is “bearing out,” with increasing take-up and steadily declining new infections,” he stressed, noting that new infections across the country continue to decline with an average of 451 cases reported daily during the last seven days.
“Our goal is to make sure that as many people as possible are protected, and we’re going to continue to work with the international community to make sure that people who are fully vaccinated in ways that Canadians recognize as safe and effective, are also recognized around the world,” Trudeau further said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed support yet again for his government’s controversial farm sector laws that has had the farmers camping at the borders of Delhi for nearly a month.
“The agriculture reforms that have taken place are exactly what farmer bodies and even opposition parties have been asking over the years,” the Prime Minister said, reiterating the government’s claim that the opposition is now “instigating” and “misleading” the farmers.
“The Government of India is always committed to farmers’ welfare and we will keep assuring the farmers and addressing their concerns,” he added while speaking at a function in Gujarat’s Kutch.
Last week, the BJP had claimed that the Congress was contradicting its own plans to incite farmers and oppose the government.
During the UPA rule, the Congress and Sharad Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party supported what are now key provisions of the farm laws.


THE state government will ensure that development in each district is enjoyed by the people, said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.
Chow said for that purpose, he suggested that a special master plan for each district be developed especially the southwest district.
According to him, the state government does not have a special master plan for the southwest district over the past 10 years, which is seen as somewhat marginalised.
“Perhaps the time has come that the state government together with the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) as the local authority, the southwest district and land office and all agencies start a development masterplan here (southwest district).
“With this plan, we can focus on the strengths and weaknesses as well as the advantages in this area.
“This way alone, we can realise the potential of the southwest district that can be further developed for the well-being of the local people,” he said during a special visit to the southwest district and land office near Balik Pulau recently.
Chow, who is also Tanjong MP and Padang Kota assemblyman, said he will follow-up at the state level by highlighting relevant proposals to the state executive council for discussion and review.
“Not only that, the state government is also planning to implement a state development plan for the next five to 10 years,” he added.

No They Can’t
Three Iraqi candidates and two campaign workers were killed Thursday as the country prepared for local elections in 14 out of 18 provinces. That’s something to keep in mind with all the talk of improved security. Relative to the hell-on-Earth of recent years, “improvement” amounts to only five people murdered for showing an interest in politics.
Wait, before you go…
AFP via Google:
Gunmen claimed the lives of three Iraqi election candidates on Thursday and two campaign workers were also murdered in attacks just two days before the country’s first poll since 2005.
The run-up to Saturday’s provincial vote — seen as a key test of Iraq’s progress since the 2003 US-led invasion — had been relatively violence-free but the killings are certain to raise fears that militants could throw polling day into chaos.
