UPDATE MENTAL HEALTH ACT 2001Why is it important? Because none of us are safe under a mental health system that’s stuck in 2001. The Mental Health Act 2001 still allows forced treatment, restraint, and seclusion—even though these practices are now widely recognised as harmful, especially to neurodivergent people (like those with autism, ADHD, or trauma-related conditions). It treats emotional overwhelm as illness. It punishes difference as danger. This law was written before most people had smartphones. Before we had language for sensory overload, neurodivergence, or digital expression. It’s outdated, invasive, and not trauma-informed—and it puts thousands of people at risk every year. Why should others join? Because you don’t have to be in crisis to care. This campaign is about protecting our freedom, dignity, and human rights. It’s about making sure no one is silenced, secluded, or forcibly medicated for being misunderstood. If you’ve ever: • Had your feelings dismissed as “too much” • Been misdiagnosed • Been afraid to seek help because the system might punish you Then this campaign is for you. We need to audit the Mental Health Act 2001—and bring Ireland in line with modern science and EU human rights law. Join us. Share. Demand better. ACTIVATE. AGITATE.

Improve phone signal in upper Tramore1. Public Safety: Poor signal can prevent people from making emergency calls or receiving critical alerts. In a growing town, reliable access to emergency services is essential. 2. Remote Work and Education: With more people working and studying from home, especially post-COVID, strong mobile data and tethering capabilities are vital. Weak signal directly impacts productivity and access to opportunity. 3. Economic Growth: Tramore is expanding, and businesses—especially tourism-related ones—rely on good connectivity for card payments, online bookings, communications, and marketing. Bad signal limits economic potential. 4. Social Inclusion: For residents who may not have access to broadband or prefer mobile internet, poor signal can lead to digital exclusion, affecting their ability to connect with family, services, or community. 5. Population Growth: As more people move into new housing developments, infrastructure needs to keep up. Mobile coverage should be considered an essential utility—just like water or electricity. 6. Tourism Impact: Tramore is a popular tourist destination, and visitors expect reliable service. Poor signal affects their experience and can harm the town’s reputation.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kyle Butler

“SAVE ALL JOBS IN OCEAN VIEW”The decision-making of the absentee Chief Inspector, Carol Grogan, if left to stand, will result in catastrophic job losses in Ocean View.

Put it to the PeopleThe Triple Lock is an integral part of Ireland's neutrality and Foreign Policy. Removing the Triple Lock is an attack on our neutrality. This change opens the door to Irish troops being seconded to NATO and EU missions, with almost free-range given to the government of the day. The Triple Lock means Irish Defence Forces troops are only deployed on UN-mandated missions. A UN mandate gives legitimacy to peacekeeping missions which will be impossible to replace. The blue beret, that Irish troops have always worn, also offers them a huge level of protection. There is currently an attack on the UN with Elon Musk recently stating the United States should leave the institution. The proposed plans from the government are a further undermining of the UN at a time of increasing militarisation. So what? This is a fundamental change in Ireland's stance on neutrality - so we believe it should be put to the people in a national plebiscite. Every citizen in Ireland deserves to have a direct say on whether the Government should make this change. We recognise the importance of democratic consultation in shaping Ireland's future foreign policy, which is why we believe the only truly democratic option is a direct vote through a vote by the people on the whether Ireland should retain the Triple Lock.2,285 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Patricia Stephenson

Transparency in Re-turn's Deposit Return SchemeOur Concerns: 1. Unclaimed Deposits: A significant portion of the €100 million in deposits collected during 2024 remains unclaimed, yet the public has limited information on how these funds are managed and spent. Re-turn must disclose how these funds are being allocated and reinvested to benefit environmental initiatives. 2. Executive Salaries: Re-turn has refused to disclose the salaries of its CEO and executive team, despite handling millions of euros in public funds. 3. Accountability: As a not-for-profit organisation operating a nationwide scheme, Re-turn must be fully transparent about its financial operations to maintain public trust. Our Demands: 1. Full Disclosure: Publicly release the salaries of Re-turn executives and provide an annual financial report detailing the allocation of unclaimed deposits. 2. Public Oversight: Establish an independent review committee to ensure that funds are being used responsibly for environmental and community benefits. 3. Legislative Review: We urge the Irish government to introduce regulations that enforce financial transparency for organisations managing public deposit schemes, including strict guidelines on the allocation of unclaimed deposits. The Deposit Return Scheme was created to encourage recycling, not to generate undisclosed profits. The Irish public deserves clarity on how their money is being used. By signing this petition, we demand greater accountability and transparency from Re-turn. Let’s ensure that this initiative truly serves the public and environmental good.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alisha NH

Keep the Dublin Airport Passenger Cap - Help protect children from harmWe know what needs to be done to protect children from the horrific harms of climate breakdown - urgent cuts wherever possible to the pollution causing the climate crisis. This must include aviation, which is using record levels of fossil fuel and holding back climate action, even as the odds for children's futures worsen. Despite airlines polluting at higher levels and climate threats for children rapidly worsening, an aggressive campaign by vested interests led to a Government commitment to lift the Dublin Airport Passenger 'cap' - which already allows for a colossal 32 MILLION passengers each year. In response to pressure from airlines and threats from the US Government, our Government rammed through a law (the Dublin Airport Passenger Capacity Act 2026) which allows the Minister for Transport to amend or entirely remove the passenger cap. Shockingly, the new law allows the Minister for Transport to ignore their own and the State’s climate obligations under our Climate Act at the very time that deadly heat, drought and wildfires are causing thousands of deaths, destroying people’s homes, communities and farmers’ crops, and causing water shortages across Europe. Since 1990, while Ireland’s population has grown 44%, aviation emissions have risen 500%. Irish aviation pollution is now causing more climate harm than all the cars on our roads. And BILLIONS more euro is taken out of the economy with Irish people flying abroad than is coming in. ALL of this is being ignored in the Government’s attempts to scrap the cap. Stand up for kids, and sign our petition to Government calling for the passenger cap at Dublin Airport to remain in place. We still have time though to push for the Government to do the right thing for kids and their future, and keep the cap. That includes building support for this petition. Every voice counts. Children’s futures are being irreversibly harmed due to a failure to cut harmful global warming pollution - they face malnutrition, increased danger from more extreme weather events, and economic harm. Every fraction of a degree of global warming matters. Increasing flights via a lifting of the cap, would mean massive increases in fossil fuel use and pollution. The Dublin Airport Authority’s planning documents indicate that raising the passenger cap to 40 million passengers annually would increase emissions by 22 per cent by 2031. However, Darragh O’Brien, who is Minister for both Climate and Transport, has expressed hope that annual numbers reach 60 million, meaning the emissions would be even higher. Keeping the cap means responsibly protecting against even greater levels of fossil fuel pollution. Unprecedented and apparently unlawful levels of flight traffic at Dublin Airport are already reportedly causing harm. Schools and communities under flight paths have reported negative impacts on the education, sleep, well-being and home lives of children due to intolerable levels of noise pollution. All children have a fundamental right to rest, play and learn. Keeping the cap means putting communities, families and children before harmful industry expansion and pollution. We urgently need every sector to do its part to help protect kids from the harms ahead. Keeping the cap means a step towards Irish aviation responsibly contributing to the essential climate action all children are counting on. Stand up for kids, and sign our petition to Government calling for the passenger cap at Dublin Airport to remain in place - aviation must start doing its fair share for kids’ futures.861 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Childrens' Rights Over Flights
