The decision-making of the absentee Chief Inspector, Carol Grogan, if left to stand, will result in catastrophic job losses in Ocean View. There are currently 27 elderly, vulnerable, and frail persons from our community waiting for placement in the wonderful Ocean View. Let them do their work which they do very well with dedication and love. We ask for the unbalanced regulatory decision-making to end. Chief Inspector, stop your unreasonable interference affecting the Centre at a local level. We give our full support to save Ocean View and the jobs of the 44 employees currently employed in the nursing home. Save Ocean View Jobs for the Dingle Peninsula. Save these local facilities employees for the people of the Corca Dhuibhne region, our local Community and beyond.

The closure of The Wombles at this location will not only leave children without crucial early learning opportunities but will also place an immense strain on working parents who depend on after-school care. Many of us have built our work schedules around this service, knowing our children are in a safe, familiar, and supportive environment. The impact extends beyond our families, affecting six dedicated early years educators who may lose their jobs. Early years education plays a vital role in identifying children who may need additional support or early intervention, and The Wombles has been instrumental in ensuring children receive the help they need from an early age. Over the past decade, they have provided Level 7 support for children who have gone on to thrive in school. We urge you to find a solution that does not leave 98 children without care and education. Our families need your immediate attention to this matter.

Change needs to happen for the Irish workers to feel  wanted and needed  in the workplace 

Currently only the bereaved partner of a married couple can access the Widow's/Widowers pension, but thanks to a Supreme Court ruling in January 2024 after a successful case taken by John O'Meara and his 3 children, the Government have been ordered to end the discrimination to non-marital families. The government have developed legislation called the Bereaved Partners Pension which will extend the Pension entitlement to the bereaved partner of cohabiting couples (those not married to each other). Despite this, one year since the ruling of the Supreme Court on 22nd January, many grieving partners are still being refused the much needed pension despite the Supreme Court order. Their applications to the Department of Social Protection are still be refused as they do not meet the criteria for the existing Widow's, Widower's or Surviving Civil Partner's Pension.  We are urging TD's and senators to act now and ensure that cohabiting couples are no longer discriminated against, and that the legislation lives up to its promise. We need the Bereaved Partners Pension Bill  enacted once and for all -  let us not wait another year to do the right thing. Grief doesn't discriminate - so neither should the pension.

It is imperative that appropriate measures be put in place to support Teachers and  SNAs who have been assaulted in the classroom. Anyone who suffers an assault in the workplace their sole focus should be on their recovery. I believe these amendments are crucial for the wellbeing of our educators and to ensure a safe and supportive working environment. 

Support Is Crucial:  We cannot wait any longer. The heart of our communities—restaurants, pubs, cafés, and shops—are at risk. Each closure means more jobs lost, more social spaces gone, and greater isolation for all of us. If you work in these industries, your job could be next. We are nearing a tipping point, and without public pressure, the future of our cities, towns and villages are in jeopardy. Sign the petition + Spread the word.

So Ireland can have an even better and yet more efficient healthcare system. Because when patients get admitted to hospital for being sick or injured which is not their fault and they get billed, most of them usually hire a lawyer so they can get reimbursed which is a hassle, time wasting and can cost even more money. I strongly believe that the government is more than capable and has the money to fund and cover the healthcare for all the residents in Ireland because the employees who work pay income taxes regularly but not only that, the items we buy in shops and the food and drinks we order from restaurants, cafés, pubs, etc all have taxes on them which go to the government upon purchase. In Ireland, public healthcare should be free and ONLY private healthcare should be paid for.

Only by mobilising working people on housing can we build a movement for housing with more power than the landlords, developers and vulture funds.

It has been established that a full 26% of Irish workers are considered the working poor, earning less than minimum wage,  another 28% earn between 15K and 30K.  More than half of the workforce. All of these workers are severely disadvantaged by the loophole in the legislation.

No matter who we are or where we come from, we all deserve a fair wage we can live on – but right now, Aer Lingus pilots aren't being properly paid for the work they're doing.  Aer Lingus pilots are now being vilified unfairly for daring to ask for the most basic thing – for their pay to be increased in line with inflation. Together, we want to show Aer Lingus that we support the pilots in their fight for fair pay. Responsibility for cancelled flights lies with Aer Lingus management, not with pilots.
