It’s important because we’re talking about our eco system, children’s health and the soul of a community 

In May, the ESB announced that would be raising electricity prices by 8%, which amounts to about €138 extra a year. Data Centres, which consume 22% of the national electric output, drive up electricity prices as they put strain on already over-taxed infrastructure.  They also contribute to the worsening climate crisis as they incentivise the production of ever-increasing amounts of electricity, which requires the burning of more and more fossil fuels. All the while, they guzzle thousands of gallons of clean water daily, just to keep their servers cool.    The intended Data Centre expansion in Little Island is a net negative for the local area. It would provide next to no employment, while contributing to the rising utility prices and threatening the enviroment, particulalrly the local bat and badger populations.  It needs to be stopped. 

There has been ongoing discussions between the committee and the iveagh trust staff about opening up the garden to all, with no progress in sight, we are asking everyone in Kevin st who wants this open, to speak up and have your views and opinions heard. 

We would truly appreciate this as we want to have the freedom of walking or cycling to the shop etc.  The youth of these areas wants the freedom to go out and enjoy their childhood and adolescence , along with every adult too and we want a way to commute to the playground,bus stops, shops, supermarkets, and library’s etc. I hope you consider this.

Flooding causing unnecessary distress, damage and disruption. Have you ever seen drains being cleared ever? They should be cleared regularly to prevent debris building up and preventing them draining water, particularly during heavy rains. 

Dublin City's 'Herzog' Park is called after the Dublin-raised Chaim Herzog who became 6th Israeli president, having fought along with Zionist paramilitaries in the late 1940s and then serving in Israeli administration. His son, Yitzhak (Isaac) Herzog is current Israeli president, who has recently called for the violent elimination of Palestinians. The name Herzog is a name long associated with the barbarity & shame of on-going Israeli aggression against Palestinians. The people of Dublin stand with the people of Palestine in the on-going Israeli onslaught. The message of the renaming of the 'Herzog' to ‘Free Palestine’ of the Dublin City Park can be another symbolic expression of the people of Dublin's solidarity.

This beautiful building has become an iconic landmark in Dublin. The building in its current form is more fitting in the area than the proposed building. The view from within St Stephen’s Green will be radically changed in a negative way by the new build.

This facility would provide a healthy and enjoyable facility to a huge number of people all year around.

Castletroy is a populated area that needs facilities to match the growing population. This park would bring people to the area to spend in the area and also minimize unscoped poop in the area as - the upkeep would not cost anything as once fenced off its purely a gate to open and close the area..

A dedicated building rather than a warehouse.

Evidence has shown that North Kildare is not getting its share of community resources. No swimming pool, no waste facilities, the Wonderful Barn not invested in, decrepit playgrounds, not enough youth facilities beyond sports. We need community investment along with new housing.

The Fianna Fáil/Fine Gael and Green government have missed their own deadline on the publication of a second report that was expected to outline the targets for the nationwide delivery of services. We are calling on people to contact their local government TDs and Minister Helen McEntee to urge the release of this report and provide actionable timelines for the delivery of a refuge that can provide wraparound services, in Carlow and the 8 other counties without one. Now that the issue has fallen out of public focus the government has dropped the ball, but we won’t stand for it. The Government has failed us for too long on domestic violence, we need to hold them to account on their deadlines. Ireland is currently providing less than 30% of the places recommended under the Istanbul Convention. The Government must increase the number of refuge places needs to be increased by at least 350. There are 9 counties with no refuge in Ireland. Campaigners in Carlow have been calling since 2017 and have been consistently stonewalled by the Government. Tusla has still not made any contact with Carlow Council on the provision of a refuge despite a statement from Government in February saying this would happen. Everyday, women and children are being turned away and forced to choose between homelessness and returning to their abuser and staying in abusive relationships for fear of homelessness. We cannot wait, demand action now!
