Since October 2023, Gaza has faced one of the deadliest assaults in modern history. Over 300,000 Palestinians have been killed, the majority of them women and children. Entire communities have been erased, and the genocide continues daily. Coca-Cola is not a neutral brand in this context. The company: Operates in illegal Israeli settlements built on stolen Palestinian land. Has supply chains and business practices that profit from occupation and apartheid. Uses global events and sponsorships to whitewash its image while remaining complicit in human rights abuses. Electric Picnic is more than just a festival it is a cultural institution in Ireland, a space where values of creativity, freedom, and solidarity are celebrated. Allowing Coca-Cola to sponsor the festival undermines these very values and makes Electric Picnic complicit in whitewashing genocide. By dropping Coca-Cola, Electric Picnic can send a powerful message: our culture will not be used to cover up crimes against humanity. This would not only honor the hundreds of thousands of lives lost in Gaza but also set a precedent for ethical sponsorship in the music and arts world. Standing against genocide is not political but is a matter of basic human rights and human dignity.

The new BusConnects plan for Finglas brings some positives – the F1 and F2 will be 24 hour services with high frequency, and the new 24 route will connect Finglas directly to Dublin Airport. But a bus services aren't just about connecting suburbs to the city centre in the fastest way possible. The need for local connections to shops, schools, community facilities, family and friends  is vitally important. These are the everyday journeys that hold our community together. If these local links disappear, people will face longer journeys, overcrowded buses and possible isolation, hitting older people and those with disabilities the hardest. Sign and share this petition to ensure our voices are heard and that we have a bus service works for everyone in Finglas!

Residents of Inchicore and Dublin 8 use the Grand Canal to walk and cycle to work, and school. Local residents walk their dogs and relax with their children and family along this green space. The lamp posts along this section of the Grand Canal are rusty and have graffiti on them, some of which is 24 years. The run down lamp posts are taking away from the relaxation and feeling of safety on the tow path for walkers, cyclists and joggers using the tow path. This is a straight forward maintence job.

The siege and genocide must end. The people of Gaza are relying on regular people like us all to keep going - for them. The Global Sumud Flotilla is a coalition of everyday people—organisers, humanitarians, doctors, artists, clergy, lawyers, and seafarers—who believe in human dignity and the power of nonviolent action. 

The Clonlara residing along the R463 would like to request the support of all residents of Clonlara for the following reasons: • Improved accessibility for those of us at these addresses means more economic activity in Clonlara village.   • It would allow us to access bars and restaurants. It would also create a higher footfall for the village shop which has now closed twice previously due to this challenge. It would increase bus service user numbers thus ensuring the service is not cancelled and more bus services may be added. • It would reduce traffic at Clonlara bridge as many would choose to walk and cycle such a short distance rather than sit on the bridge in traffic. • It would bring members from your community who are currently not spending time in the village due to a lack of accessibility across the bridge and create a more unified community.   We would also like to request the support of those who have  accessibility concerns for relatives living in the area. We thank you all for your support on this matter.

The proposed Chat Control legislation represents an unprecedented violation of our fundamental right to privacy. Mass surveillance of private communications is incompatible with Article 7 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Breaking end-to-end encryption would make all EU citizens vulnerable to cybercriminals, authoritarian regimes, and foreign interference. Strong encryption is essential for our digital security and economic competitiveness. Do we not remember the 2021 cyberattacks on the HSE during the COVID pandemic? Technical experts and child protection organisations have pointed out that this approach will not effectively protect children while creating massive privacy violations. We need targeted, evidence-based solutions instead. This proposal has been repeatedly rejected or stalled by democratic institutions, with the European Parliament voting against mass surveillance and the Council failing to achieve majority support for over two years. AI-based content scanning produces numerous false positives, potentially criminalizing innocent family photos and conversations. The technical implementation is fundamentally flawed and unreliable. This legislation would damage the EU's digital economy, drive tech companies away, and undermine our competitiveness against regions that protect digital rights and innovation.

We desperately need the Galway City Council to stop the illegal Airbnb’s from operating. Galway families, students, and individuals who live and work here need long term housing to continue operating as long term housing stock rather than permanently become illegal short term lets. 

Health risks backed by science • Multiple Studies have found that even short-term exposure to PM2.5 smoke particles increases hospital admissions for heart, lung, and neurological conditions. (Links to studies: [1][2])  • Studies show wildfire smoke can raise mortality rates in vulnerable groups (children, the elderly, people with asthma, and heart disease). [Links to studies: [3], [4]] • These pollutants travel long distances — you don’t need to live in Cherrywood to be at risk. Smoke is more toxic than normal air pollution • Gorse/wildfire smoke isn’t just particles — it contains toxic gases like benzene, formaldehyde, and acrolein. • These VOCs are linked to respiratory disease, cancer risk, and neurological problems — and they’re invisible, often undetectable by smell.  • For VOCs such as formaldehyde and benzene, WHO recognises that there is no safe threshold indoors, further underlining the health risk of the current smoke exposure. Children are the most vulnerable • Kids breathe faster and inhale more pollutants per body weight. • In Cherrywood, a primary school sits right below Ticknick Park, directly in the path of the smoke. • Protecting them here sets a precedent for protecting children everywhere. It’s not just Cherrywood — it’s Ireland’s future • With warmer, drier summers, gorse fires will keep recurring across Ireland. • If we don’t act now, other towns will face the same repeated exposure, with no monitoring or guidance. • The current response is limited to carrying out controlled burning or "hoping for the rain" — but neither of these protect Cherrywood families from repeated exposure to toxic smoke. A precedent for national action • By supporting Cherrywood, you’re pushing Ireland to adopt stronger protections — including, but not limited by efficient fire response, local monitoring, proactive land management, timely community guidance and access to HEPA + carbon filters. • Wildfire smoke has been recognised internationally (e.g. by the US CDC and European Environment Agency) as a significant public health hazard due to fine particles and VOCs. • This campaign can set the standard for how Irish authorities respond to all future smoke events. *In this context, ‘Ticknick’ refers to the adjoining lands located beside Ticknick Park and the community playfields. ** Have you been affected?

In Ireland, Ambulance response times for life threatening emergencies have been incraesing, with Category 2 calls averaging 35 minutes and 11 seconds, surpassing the 30 minute targets. In some regions, such as Cork, there have been instances where ambulances have taken over an hour to arrive to high priority calls. Given that anaphylaxis can progress rapidly, requiring immediate administration of adrenaline, these delays can be life threatening. Without timely access to adrenaline, individuals expreincing anaphylaxis face increased risk of fatality. Ensuring that autoinjectors are availible over the counter would allow people to act swiftly in emergencies, potentially saving lives while awaiting professional medical assistance
