What is credit default swap?

It is the insurance that will cover in the event of default of a bond- it´s a measure of how risky they think the bond , in terms of it ever being repaid and the coupon ( interest) associated with it, ever being repaid.

, a chara,

Thank you for your recent mail and for taking the time to contact me.

In contrast to Fine Gael, Sinn Féin is committed to the protection and restoration of the Irish language. Rather than taking measures that will contribute to the dissolution of the Irish language, we believe the state should in fact be taking constructive steps to strengthen, support and encourage its growth.

Unlike Fine Gael’s proposal to deprioritise Irish by removing it from the second level education system as compulsory, we in Sinn Féin commit ourselves 100% to its promotions.

Equality is an integral part of a democratic society and this, as we have stated in our party’s manifesto, includes upholding the rights of Irish-language speakers.

We believe the future of the Irish language depends upon the continuing existence of sustainable Gaeltacht communities where Irish remains the primary language of the community. These communities must be protected, supported and developed. That is why we advocate proper resourcing into the education system and are promoting the right to be educated through the Irish language.

We also believe the right to education through Irish should be constitutionally and legally enshrined as one of the primary steps in protecting its existence for generations to come.

Hope this information is helpful.

Joey, a chara,

Thank you for your query.

Invalid and spoiled ballots are not included in the voting process. When all seats have been filled and any recounts are concluded, the returning officer formally declares who has been elected. Once this is done, the only way a person can question the election results is by presenting an election petition to the High Court within 28 days of the result being declared.

Hope this information is helpful.
