For the vibes 

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to positively influence the trajectory of one of the most interesting and friendly small towns in Ireland with a project which can transform the heart of the town and provide a tourism and visitor hub and attraction for one of the most beautiful surrounding areas, populated with greenways, lakes, walks and other visitor attractions just waiting to be discovered, many of which are wonderfully recalled in the works of the great writer. The McGahern Gateway Centre will provide the opportunity to harness and coalesce in one place the significant local, national and global interest in one the most evocative, elegiac and poetic of prose writers on the world stage of this or any age and to honour and illustrate his life's work in his home town with a centre of appropriate ambition, quality and scale equal to the writer's towering achievements. This project has, of course, the full support of the writer's family. 

Kildare county currently has no facilities for musicians and dancers to develop their works. We would like to see free or affordable hourly rents for small dedicated rehearsal rooms (especially soundproof rooms and sprung floors). As a last resort, we believe that some spaces currently given over to visual artists (and nobody else) should be repurposed for different types of artists who need it more.

It is not acceptable that camogie players are banned from wearing shorts. All we are looking for is choice. 

The Israeli government are massacring the people of Gaza and make the place completely unliveable. By normalising Israelis participation in global events like the Eurovision - that states its values are democracy, solidarity and unity  is deeply cynical and amounts to art washing.  People who work in RTE are demanding that RTE's Director General agrees not to broadcast the Eurovision. A massive public outcry will send a powerful message that people in Ireland are behind them and are not standing by. 

Kneecap are facing a torrent of abuse after their Coachella performance, where they used their platform to highlight the US’s involvement in the ongoing Genocide in Palestine, with some even calling for their US visas to be revoked. Kneecap has been highlighting the ongoing atrocities happening in Gaza since the formation of the group back in 2017. They have used their voice to raise awareness of the situation and to call out the people in power who are carrying out, paying for and supporting a Genocide. This abuse being directed at Kneecap is part of a wider effort to suppress artists' right to speak up on the issues that matter most to us all! We must take a stand against this wherever we see it. If we can get enough people signing this petition, we'll show that the people of Ireland stand with Kneecap and support their pro-Palestinian message.

Protect Dublins unique Georgian architecture and cinematic history,

If we want to live in a world where laws are respected by all and cannot simply be disregarded by those with wealth and power, we have to make a stand against this piracy of Irish (and international) writing by Meta.

Minister for the Arts Patrick O'Donovan is using procurement issues in the Department of Arts and in the Arts Council to try to discredit and undermine the entire arts sector. Now he wants artists to explain what they're doing with their grants. He's trying to whip up controversy to distract from this government's failure to provide a safe home for everyone who needs one and their attempts to undermine our neutrality. Our artists and the arts need more support, not less. By signing this petition, we are taking a stand and showing this government that we stand with the artists of Ireland, that we respect the huge contribution they make to our lives, and that we believe their work should be properly funded. 

Ensuring affordable and accessible halal meat and poultry options in major Irish retailers is not just about meeting the dietary needs of the Muslim community—it’s about fostering inclusion, equity, and mutual respect in a diverse society. Here’s why this matters: 1. Economic Fairness: Many families are struggling with rising costs, and the higher prices of halal-certified products in specialty stores place an additional burden on Muslim households. Access to affordable options can ease financial pressure and ensure fair treatment for all consumers. 2. Cultural Inclusion: Ireland is home to a growing multicultural population. By providing halal-certified products, major retailers can demonstrate their commitment to inclusion, respect for diversity, and the values of a progressive, welcoming society. 3. Convenience and Accessibility: Currently, many families must travel long distances or pay premium prices to access halal meat and poultry. Introducing halal products in major retailers will make it easier for individuals and families to meet their dietary needs without unnecessary hardship. 4. Health and Well-Being: For many, halal food is more than a dietary choice—it’s a fundamental part of their faith and identity. By supporting this campaign, we can ensure that everyone in our community can access food that aligns with their values and beliefs. 5. Support Your Neighbors: Joining this campaign is an act of solidarity with your Muslim neighbors and friends. It’s a way to show that you care about their well-being and believe in equality for all. 6. Build a Stronger Community: When communities work together to address shared challenges, we create a more united, compassionate, and inclusive society. 7. Encourage Positive Change: By advocating for accessible halal products, you’re helping to ensure that businesses adapt to the changing needs of our diverse population, setting a positive example for other industries. 8. Set a Precedent for Inclusion: Supporting this initiative sends a powerful message to policymakers, businesses, and organizations across Ireland that inclusivity is not optional—it’s essential. Together, we can create a fairer, more inclusive Ireland where everyone feels supported and valued. Your signature can make a difference. Join us today!
