Reduce traffic congestion and encourage use of public transport 

Many asylum seekers are already part of our communities. They work in essential sectors, pay taxes, support local businesses, and contribute to Irish society, yet they remain in long-term uncertainty about their future. Regularising long-term contributors would strengthen communities, help address labour shortages, increase tax compliance, and reflect Ireland’s values of fairness, dignity, and compassion. These individuals are our co-workers and neighbours, and they deserve the chance to fully integrate and build stable lives in the country they now call home.

Cost of living 

 Public housing is the foundation of a fair city. Every tenant — every person — has a right to a warm, safe, affordable home. The proposed overhaul of the differential rent scheme would mean rent increases for almost all of the city’s 68,000 council tenants,  with some families facing hikes of close to 40%, amounting to hundreds of euro every month. These blanket increases would hit everyone - tenants in new, A-rated homes and those living in old, cold, damp flats alike.  Council tenants didn’t create the housing maintenance funding gap. It’s the result of decades of government underfunding of Dublin City Council and the refusal to invest in public housing. Now, instead of properly funding our council to carry out repairs and maintenance, management want tenants to pay the price. This is happening in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis, where: • Over 300,000 nationally were in arrears on their electricity bills and 175,000 were in arrears on their gas bills.  • Grocery and heating costs are rising every month, and • Families across the city are already at breaking point. Working-class tenants cannot and should not be made to pay more for housing that is often substandard! No Way Wont Pay!

Some students don’t need more motivation. They just need a meal. Right now across Ireland, too many students are studying hungry, skipping meals to pay rent or travel to class. Hunger isn’t just physical. It drains focus, energy, and hope. When we feed students, we’re not just helping them survive college. We’re helping them show up fully, to learn, lead, and become who they’re meant to be. This is why we’re building Crave Christi Student Sponsorship, to make sure no student is left behind because of an empty plate. Join us in turning compassion into action. Together, we can make student hunger impossible to ignore. Because hunger shouldn’t be part of the college experience. Not here. Not now.

Everyday people across Ireland are struggling to afford the basics — rent, food, childcare, heating, and transport. Families are cutting back, carers are limited in how much they can work, and workers’ wages are being swallowed by rising costs. Budget 2026 should be about fairness and dignity — not leaving people behind. Ordinary people are the backbone of this country, and we deserve a Budget that reflects that. This isn’t about politics — it’s about survival, fairness, and respect for those doing their best to keep Ireland going. If enough of us speak up together, we can show the Government that it’s not too late to change course and build a Budget that works for everyone. Sign and share this petition to stand up for fairness, dignity, and real support for ordinary people.

Why This Matters — To Everyone Huntington’s disease families in Ireland have been promised and then denied basic care and support. We are a small, relatively rich country and our healthcare system is failing those who need it as well as those who work in it.  Sign this petition to support families : • Proper Huntingtons Disease care through specialist multi-disciplinary teams (like Scotland has - same population but a specialist team in all 7 major cities) • A health system ready for advanced therapies like the Uniqure trial making the news • Leadership that keeps its promises Because a health service that fails us today will fail our tomorrows.

OThe 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. **Petition update*  On 12.10.2025 this petition was submitted to Clare Coco, Cathal Crowe TD, elected members of Shannon municipal district, Clare ag friendly programme, Rural and Community Development Officer Conor Leyden

Severely impacts people travelling to work, school, college. Especially people such as myself living on the border between zones Public transport becomes generally more expensive than just buying a car and fuelling up weekly. 

Louth County Council is considering cutting rates on empty properties for 2026. Working class people will still have to pay rates on their homes. Councillors have defended this proposal by stating that this would aid vacant property owners to more easily find residents. This is a grossly naive view of the situation with property across not just our county, but the entire country. Those who own vacant properties that have been left empty long term should not be rewarded for that, particularly when ordinary working people are struggling to get by. Property hoarders & vulture funds should be penalised, and forced to either put the vacant buildings into use or face harsher financial sanctions. A 2023 report into property vacancy by Louth Council surveyed 1599 properties and found at least 832 as either vacant or derelict across the county. Those buildings should be used, not left empty. Many of those buildings could be used for homes.  Louth Council was granted €7 Million fund to Compulsory Purchase Order vacant and derelict properties in Louth. This funding has been completely unused for 2 years in a row. This fund should be put to work immediately to take properties from their feckless owners and provide social housing to working families. People Before Profit councillors in Dublin have successfully forced the purchase of empty houses in places like Palmerstown, the same would be possible in Louth. Most councils in Ireland, including Louth’s haven’t collected a single penny from the Derelict Sites Levy in 2 years. That’s €20.5m. A figure which would be much higher now, considering the push activists across the country have given councils into recent years to register these derelict sites. This figure could fund Derelict Sites departments around the country by itself.

Ireland has long been a nation of laws — from the ancient wisdom of the Brehon laws to our modern democratic traditions. Now, it’s time to bring that legacy into the 21st century by enshrining the right to housing in our Constitution. We’ve already committed internationally by signing the United Nations Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which recognises housing as a fundamental human right. It’s a powerful promise that Ireland can fulfill. By making housing a constitutional right, Ireland can lead once again — showing the world that fairness, dignity, and a safe home are not just ideals but guaranteed rights for everyone. Together, we can build a future where no one is left behind 🇮🇪☘️🤝

It is vitally important that Ireland's Central Bank stop facilitating the sale of Israeli debt instruments within the EU. Ireland's government leaders and society have openly called Israel's actions in Gaza genocide. Ireland cannot say one thing and do another. Ireland and its institutions must be consistent and halt the facilitation for the sale of Israeli bonds by our Central Bank. The Irish directors of The Central Bank must resign on principle in support of Ireland's position and the management of The Central Bank must ensure the bonds are no longer available through its offices regardless of EU rules where ethical or humanitarian issues are not addressed.
