The Triple Lock is core to Ireland's Neutrality. It prevents us being dragged into foreign wars by our government or, more accurately, by pressure on the government from the US, the UK and the EU. We believe that there should be no changes to the Triple Lock and Ireland's Neutral status without a referendum where all the people of Ireland can decide. Our government does not want a referendum and is currently in the process of dismantling the Triple Lock without a mandate to do so. Irelands neutrality keeps us safe and is what has kept us out of foreign conflicts. With world politics being so volatile currently, and world peace being so fragile, now more than ever it is vital that  Ireland is a voice for peace and justice and that our soldiers continue to be respected in their vitally important work as peacekeeping forces.

St. Patrick's Day is Ireland's most important national and cultural celebration, recognised globally.  Establishing a fixed annual long weekend would: • Enable greater participation in parades, cultural events and community celebrations • Support tourism, hospitality, and local economies across the country • Provide a consistent national holiday structure This change would preserve the cultural, historical and religious significance of the 17th of March while improving how the public holiday is observed for the benefit of society and the economy.

It is extremely important because children need social media to contact parents friends and family they also need to keep up with some news  This law going through will push us back from a free country 

No shamrocks for anyone named in the Epstein files and linked to allegations of sexual abuse of minors

Ireland should not be associating with murderous fascist dictators.

I believe there is a serious and legitimate case for designating U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as a terrorist organisation, based not on rhetoric or emotion, but on behaviour and impact. Terrorism is commonly understood as the use of force, intimidation, or fear against civilians in order to achieve political objectives. By that standard, the question should not be who is acting, but what they are doing. State authority should not place an organisation beyond moral or legal scrutiny if its methods align with those definitions. ICE is a civilian enforcement agency, yet it routinely uses armed, militarised tactics against non-violent people. Raids on homes and workplaces, sudden detentions, family separations, and prolonged incarceration without meaningful due process are not accidental excesses — they are central tools of enforcement. These actions are not aimed at stopping imminent violence. They are aimed at deterrence. Fear is not a side effect of ICE policy; fear is the policy. The impact of ICE’s actions extends far beyond the individuals they detain. Entire communities are terrorised. People avoid schools, hospitals, courts, and police out of fear that any interaction with the state could lead to detention or deportation. Parents are taken without warning. Children are separated from caregivers. Communities are left in a constant state of uncertainty, never knowing when the next raid will occur. This is collective intimidation, not targeted law enforcement. Human rights organisations have repeatedly documented deaths in ICE custody, denial of adequate medical care, prolonged detention without trial, and the use of solitary confinement. These are not isolated incidents. They are systemic, recurring, and tolerated. When an institution repeatedly inflicts serious harm on civilians and faces no meaningful accountability, it ceases to function as a legitimate law-enforcement body and begins to resemble a coercive force operating above the law. ICE has also engaged in collective punishment, a practice prohibited under international human rights norms. Family separation was explicitly justified as a deterrent, despite the known psychological harm it causes. Workplace raids punish entire households and communities for alleged civil violations by a few individuals. Punishment designed to make an example of people, rather than to deliver justice, is a defining feature of terror tactics. Crucially, ICE operates with near-total impunity. Officers are rarely held criminally responsible for abuses. Oversight mechanisms are weak. Courts regularly defer to claims of sovereignty or “national security.” This lack of accountability allows coercive violence to continue unchecked, reinforcing fear rather than upholding the rule of law. Non-state groups have been designated as terrorist organisations for engaging in detention without trial, intimidation of civilians, and political coercion through fear. When the same behaviours are carried out by a state agency, they are excused by authority rather than examined on their merits. If terrorism is defined by method rather than membership, this double standard cannot be justified. This is not an argument that borders should not exist, or that immigration law should not be enforced. It is an argument that enforcement through terror, intimidation, and collective punishment is illegitimate — regardless of who carries it out. A state does not gain moral exemption simply by wearing a uniform. Designating ICE as a terrorist organisation would acknowledge that terrorism is defined by actions, not by flags or institutions. It would affirm that no organisation is above scrutiny, and that violence and fear directed at civilian populations in pursuit of political goals must be condemned consistently. If we claim to oppose terrorism, we must be willing to recognise it even when it is carried out by the powerful.

The current U S President is leading a campaign that infringes basic human rights akin to leaders of Nazi Germany.

Why leave and de-platform toxic and lock-in social media (such as X, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok) ?

The people of Iran are facing severe repression, including lethal violence against protesters, reports of children being killed, attacks on medical facilities, and widespread communication shutdowns. These actions are serious violations of human rights. Ireland has a strong tradition of defending human rights and democratic values. Continuing normal diplomatic relations with a regime responsible for ongoing violence risks legitimising these abuses. Closing the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Dublin would be a meaningful and peaceful act of solidarity. Public support for this petition urges the Irish Government to stand with the people of Iran and take a clear, principled position in response to these violations.

Since this story broke, Ireland's elected representatives have continued to post information and images on X. They need to hear from voters to let them know that they can't ignore what the network has become because of what it used to be when they joined. 

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.
