slot machine technician jobs The leader of Ireland’s Labour Party has held talks with the Taoiseach and Tanaiste as efforts to form a new coalition government intensify. Ivana Bacik had separate meetings with Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin and Fine Gael leader Simon Harris on Tuesday afternoon. Fianna Fail, which won 48 seats in last month’s general election, and Fine Gael, which secured 38 seats, headed up the last coalition in Dublin and are expected to continue that partnership into the next mandate. However, with a combined 86 seats, they are just short of the 88 required for a majority in the Dail parliament. If they wish to return to government together, they would need one smaller party as a junior partner, or a handful of independents. Both Fianna Fail and Fine Gael have ruled out doing business with Sinn Fein, which won 39 seats. The centre-left Social Democrats and Irish Labour Party, both of which won 11 seats in the election, are seen as the only two realistic options if Fianna Fail and Fine Gael seek to convince a smaller party to join the coalition. In a statement, the Labour Party said Ms Bacik outlined key policy priorities in her meetings with Taoiseach Mr Harris and Tanaiste Mr Martin. “There was discussion in both meetings on policies and manifesto commitments on housing, health, climate, workers’ rights and disability services among other issues,” said the statement. “The parliamentary party will meet at 1pm on Friday where the party leader will provide an assessment of engagement to date and consider the outcome of these meetings.” A spokesman for Mr Harris said there had been a “constructive engagement” with Ms Bacik. “The Taoiseach is grateful for the time and engagement on a range of substantial policy issues,” he said. The spokesman said Mr Harris had also met independent TDs who are aligned together in what is called the regional group. “These meetings have been productive,” he added. Mr Harris and party colleagues are due to meet the Social Democrats on Wednesday. Fianna Fail deputy leader Jack Chambers and Fine Gael deputy leader Helen McEntee met on Tuesday evening for discussions on government formation, with the parties’ full negotiating teams set to meet on Wednesday. Fine Gael said the meeting between Ms McEntee and Mr Chambers was “positive” and focused on the “structure and format” of the substantive negotiations going forward. When the two parties entered coalition for the first time after the last general election in 2020, there was only a three-seat difference in their relative strength. That resulted in an equal partnership at the head of the coalition, with the Green Party as the junior partner. The two main parties swapped the role of taoiseach halfway through the term. With Fianna Fail’s lead over Fine Gael having grown to 10 seats following this election, focus has turned to the future of the rotating taoiseach arrangement and whether it will operate again in the next mandate and, if so, on what basis. There are similar questions around the distribution of ministries and other roles. While Mr Martin has so far refused to be drawn on the specifics, he has suggested that he expects Fianna Fail’s greater strength of numbers to be reflected in the new administration. However, Mr Harris has insisted that Fine Gael’s mandate cannot be taken for granted when it comes to government formation. Richard Boyd Barrett from People Before Profit-Solidarity, which won three seats, urged Labour not to “prop up” up a Fianna Fail/Fine Gael administration. “We think that’s a huge mistake,” he told reporters in Dublin. “They shouldn’t do it. They should learn the lessons of the past and actually work with other parties of the left to form a decent left opposition to Fianna Fail and Fine Gael and campaign on the issues that matter.” His party colleague Paul Murphy pointed to the experience of the Green Party, which lost all but one of its 12 seats in the election. “In reality, what is going to happen is a changing of the mudguard for Fianna Fail and Fine Gael,” he said. “And for those who are now auditioning to be a new mudguard for Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, there is a very, very sharp and stark lesson in what happened to the Green Party – obviously almost entirely wiped out. “We think it is a very major mistake for anyone who has the perception of being left, with the votes of people who are looking left, to seek to go into coalition with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael.” We do not moderate comments, but we expect readers to adhere to certain rules in the interests of open and accountable debate.

FLORENCE, Italy (AP) — Inter Milan beat Como 2-0 to cement third place in Serie A and close the gap on top two Atalanta and Napoli on Monday. Carlos Augusto got the opener when he headed home a corner kick in the 48th minute. Marcus Thuram scored the second in stoppage time with a potent strike into the roof of the net. It was the first time these teams have played each other in the top division since 2003 and although Inter had lost only one league game all season it struggled to impose itself on 15th-placed Como. However, it won without exerting itself and the three points were enough to take Simone Inzaghi’s men within three points of leader Atalanta and within one of Napoli. Inter has a game in hand over both clubs. Fiorentina missed a chance to go fourth when it lost at home to Udinese 2-1. The Florence club won a record eight consecutive Serie A games before losing to Bologna 1-0 on Dec. 15, and it looked to be back on track when Moises Kean converted a penalty after eight minutes to become the first Fiorentina player to reach double figures in the league since Federico Chiesa in the 2019-20 season. However, Udinese was a different prospect after the break. Lorenzo Lucca equalized with the aid of sloppy defending four minutes into the second half and then Florian Thauvin found space on the edge of the box to curl in the second eight minutes later. The result left Udinese in ninth place and Fiorentina in fifth. The match was a special one for Edoardo Bove, the Fiorentina player whose collapse with a heart issue led to the suspension of its game with Inter Milan on Dec. 1. Bove was fitted with a defibrillator implant soon after and sat on the Fiorentina bench for the first time since his collapse. He is not allowed to play but his position on the sideline alongside coach Raffaele Palladino was seen as a step towards normality for the 22-year-old midfielder. AP soccer:Pokhara [Nepal], December 23 (ANI): Former Nepali Home Minister and Chairman of Rastriya Swatantra Party- Rabi Lamichhane's post as Member of Parliament has been suspended, the Federal Parliament Secretariat announced on Monday.

Lamichhane has been suspended from the post of lawmaker according to Section 27 of the Asset (Money) Laundering Prevention Act, 2008. "Any official or staff of any organized institution established under the prevailing laws or civil servant shall be deemed to be automatically suspended for a period he/she is detained as per this Act or until the case filed against him/her pursuant to Section 22 is settled," states Section 27 of the Act in Nepal's constitution.

The former TV anchor who rose to political fame and got elected twice from Chitwan Constituency Number 2, is facing charges including money laundering, organized crime, and cooperative fraud. The cases have led to questions about his political future as a lawmaker. Under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2007 (as amended), "any individual holding a public office, such as a lawmaker, who faces a money laundering charge, is automatically suspended from their position until the case is resolved." Section (27) of the Act clearly outlines that a public office-holder detained under this law will be suspended for the duration of their detention and until the case is disposed of. If the court decides to remand Lamichhane in custody, Lamichhane's parliamentary status will be suspended, marking the second time he has faced such a situation. Lamichhane was arrested on October 18 in connection with a separate savings fraud case involving Pokhara's Suryadarshan Cooperative Society. He has been in police custody in Kaski ever since.

ATLANTA — All votes have been counted and President-elect Donald Trump’s clear victory in Georgia is confirmed. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger certified the election results Friday after two audits and unanimous approval by county election boards across the state. The final count showed Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris by 115,100 votes, a 2.2 percentage point margin. Republicans also retained their majorities in Congress, the state Senate and the state House after the election. “The votes were counted accurately, securely and quickly,” said Raffensperger, a Republican. “I’m proud to certify these results and we congratulate President-elect Donald J. Trump on his victory.” After the last election four years ago, Trump criticized Raffensperger for certifying Joe Biden’s narrow win by 11,779 votes, a 0.2 percentage point margin. Trump falsely claimed the election was stolen and pressured Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to reverse the result. A criminal case alleging Trump tried to subvert the 2020 election has stalled in Fulton County, and Trump’s attorneys plan to ask a judge to dismiss the charges because he’s the newly elected president. This time, without any dispute over the outcome, Raffensperger isn’t facing controversy since Harris conceded without complaint. Certification makes the results official, a step required by state law 17 days after the election. Since then, election officials have checked vote counts, verified voting data and signed off on the winners. Besides the presidential race, Republicans secured the same majorities over Democrats in Congress and the state Senate, holding a 9-5 lead in Washington and a 33-23 advantage in the state Senate. Republicans lost two seats in the state House but still maintain a 100-80 majority. A hand-count audit this week showed similar results as the machine count, with tiny differences that Raffensperger attributed to human error. The manual review of nearly 750,000 ballots — about 14% of total turnout — reported 11 more votes for Trump and six fewer for Harris. In all, turnout reached a record of nearly 5.3 million voters in Georgia. The secretary of state’s office said election officials also completed a second audit that used text-recognition technology to read candidate names printed on every ballot cast in Georgia, and then counted the totals. The numbers were compared to vote counts from ballot scans on election night, which tabulated results from QR codes printed on ballots. Raffensperger didn’t immediately release details of the text-recognition audit Friday. State law also requires Gov. Brian Kemp to certify Georgia’s election results by Saturday. Next, electors for Trump will meet in the Georgia Capitol to record their votes on Dec. 17, and then Congress will count Electoral College votes on Jan. 6. Trump will be inaugurated Jan. 20. ©2024 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Visit at ajc.com . Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.Tech Leaders Wary as Global Monopoly Scrutiny Threatens a Major Shake-Up for the Magnificent SevenA TikTok influencer who allegedly shoplifted about $500 worth of items from Target and posted her haul on the social media app, where she has more than 360,000 followers, has been arrested and charged with petty theft. Police said Marlena Velez, 22, stole the items by scanning false bar codes with cheaper prices on Oct. 30 at a Target in Cape Coral, Florida. Philadelphia news 24/7: Watch NBC10 free wherever you are The 16 items — household goods and clothing — were valued at $500.32, the Cape Coral Police Department said in a news release. Velez regularly posts content about her life as a mom of two on her TikTok account. Police were called to the store last week for the theft that occurred on Oct. 30. The police department posted a photo of the suspect on its Facebook and Instagram accounts and asked the public’s help in identifying her. They received numerous phone calls from anonymous tipsters, one of whom was “personally known” to Velez and provided Velez’s name, date of birth and the names of her Instagram and TikTok accounts, according to a probable cause affidavit. A post shared by Cape Coral Police Department (@capepd) Those public social media pages helped police connect Velez to the theft, according to the affidavit. Police said they found a video Velez posted on TikTok getting ready on the day of the theft, wearing the same outfit as the woman seen on Target’s security video — a tan shirt, tan pants and glasses. Velez recorded herself picking out the items inside the store and then taking them home with her, police said . According to the probable cause affidavit, the tipster also provided “unique details” about Velez, including that she had two children and a tattoo of a Zodiac sign on her left wrist, which police said matched that of the woman in the security footage. Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world. “Everything was documented,” Mercedes Phillips, a spokesperson for the department, said in a video posted to its Instagram account. Velez told the officer who arrested her that she did not recall stealing from Target and after she was shown a photo of the woman from the store’s security video, she “verbally confirmed” that she was the woman in the photo and video, the probable cause affidavit says. While in the Lee County Jail, Velez is alleged to have said “lesson learned” multiple times, according to the probable cause affidavit. The officer who arrested her asked her while she was at the jail whether she still had the stolen merchandise and she is alleged to have responded that she may still have some of the items, “to include some Christmas decorations,” the affidavit states. Phillips thanked the community for its help in identifying Velez. Velez was arrested and charged with one count of petty theft. She was released on $150 bail and is due in court Dec. 10, court records show. She could not immediately be reached at a number or an email address listed for her or through her TikTok account.
