Improve accessibility ClonlaraThe 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.231 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Kellieann O'Brien

Oppose Chat Control in the EUThe proposed Chat Control legislation represents an unprecedented violation of our fundamental right to privacy. Mass surveillance of private communications is incompatible with Article 7 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Breaking end-to-end encryption would make all EU citizens vulnerable to cybercriminals, authoritarian regimes, and foreign interference. Strong encryption is essential for our digital security and economic competitiveness. Do we not remember the 2021 cyberattacks on the HSE during the COVID pandemic? Technical experts and child protection organisations have pointed out that this approach will not effectively protect children while creating massive privacy violations. We need targeted, evidence-based solutions instead. This proposal has been repeatedly rejected or stalled by democratic institutions, with the European Parliament voting against mass surveillance and the Council failing to achieve majority support for over two years. AI-based content scanning produces numerous false positives, potentially criminalizing innocent family photos and conversations. The technical implementation is fundamentally flawed and unreliable. This legislation would damage the EU's digital economy, drive tech companies away, and undermine our competitiveness against regions that protect digital rights and innovation.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kevin Brennan

Galway families, students, and individuals who live and work here need long term housing to continue operating as long term housing stock rather than permanently become illegal short term lets.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carly Mucha

Protect Cherrywood Families from Ticknick Fire SmokeHealth risks backed by science • Multiple Studies have found that even short-term exposure to PM2.5 smoke particles increases hospital admissions for heart, lung, and neurological conditions. (Links to studies: [1][2]) • Studies show wildfire smoke can raise mortality rates in vulnerable groups (children, the elderly, people with asthma, and heart disease). [Links to studies: [3], [4]] • These pollutants travel long distances — you don’t need to live in Cherrywood to be at risk. Smoke is more toxic than normal air pollution • Gorse/wildfire smoke isn’t just particles — it contains toxic gases like benzene, formaldehyde, and acrolein. • These VOCs are linked to respiratory disease, cancer risk, and neurological problems — and they’re invisible, often undetectable by smell. • For VOCs such as formaldehyde and benzene, WHO recognises that there is no safe threshold indoors, further underlining the health risk of the current smoke exposure. Children are the most vulnerable • Kids breathe faster and inhale more pollutants per body weight. • In Cherrywood, a primary school sits right below Ticknick Park, directly in the path of the smoke. • Protecting them here sets a precedent for protecting children everywhere. It’s not just Cherrywood — it’s Ireland’s future • With warmer, drier summers, gorse fires will keep recurring across Ireland. • If we don’t act now, other towns will face the same repeated exposure, with no monitoring or guidance. • The current response is limited to carrying out controlled burning or "hoping for the rain" — but neither of these protect Cherrywood families from repeated exposure to toxic smoke. A precedent for national action • By supporting Cherrywood, you’re pushing Ireland to adopt stronger protections — including, but not limited by efficient fire response, local monitoring, proactive land management, timely community guidance and access to HEPA + carbon filters. • Wildfire smoke has been recognised internationally (e.g. by the US CDC and European Environment Agency) as a significant public health hazard due to fine particles and VOCs. • This campaign can set the standard for how Irish authorities respond to all future smoke events. *In this context, ‘Ticknick’ refers to the adjoining lands located beside Ticknick Park and the community playfields. ** Have you been affected?

Make Adrenaline Pens Available Without PrescriptionIn Ireland, Ambulance response times for life threatening emergencies have been incraesing, with Category 2 calls averaging 35 minutes and 11 seconds, surpassing the 30 minute targets. In some regions, such as Cork, there have been instances where ambulances have taken over an hour to arrive to high priority calls. Given that anaphylaxis can progress rapidly, requiring immediate administration of adrenaline, these delays can be life threatening. Without timely access to adrenaline, individuals expreincing anaphylaxis face increased risk of fatality. Ensuring that autoinjectors are availible over the counter would allow people to act swiftly in emergencies, potentially saving lives while awaiting professional medical assistance5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matt .

Open letter to Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya: We remember you ❤️Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya served as director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, until his unlawful arrest and has been arbitrarily imprisoned by the Israeli Occupation Forces for over six months. During a recent visit with his lawyer, Gheed Kassam, he asked "Does anyone remember me?". I was incredibly moved by this question and it prompted me to make this petition; we need to let this brave man know that, not only do we remember him, but we're fighting for his release. Please add your signature and share as widely as you can. Thank you.792 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Suzanne Phelan

Bulk Re-Turn Machine for EdenderryEdenderry has become a hub for the Re-Turn Scheme, people from the town and surrounding areas all bring their bottles into the town to return. Even with the 5 locations within the town, there can still be long lines and delays for returning our bottles. All it takes is one or two people having to handball trolley loads of bottles to take up a machine for some time. With the growing successes of the scheme has also come new fund raising opportunities for local groups and charities by collection bottles in bulk and returning them. Again due to only having single bottle return machines, the process of returning these bulk batches of bottles can take some time. We are calling on Re-Turn and Offaly County Council to arrange for some of the newer Bulk Re-Turn machines to be installed within the town.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ross McGann

Increase HAP limits in Carlow.Every person deserves a safe, secure, and affordable place to live. The current HAP limits in Carlow are so far below real rental costs that people are being pushed into overcrowded, unsuitable, or even unsafe housing or left with no options at all. This i When families can’t afford housing, we all pay the price through increased homelessness, greater pressure on emergency services, healthcare systems, schools, and charities. Fixing HAP limits now means preventing deeper social and economic problems down the line. This isn’t just a personal issue ,it’s a community crisis. Rising rents, job loss, illness, or family changes can quickly push anyone into housing insecurity. You or someone you care about could need support one day. Standing up for fairer housing supports protects everyone ,not just those currently affected. This Campaign Is for: • Families priced out of decent housing • Young people trying to move out or start a future • Older people on fixed incomes struggling to afford rent • Anyone who believes in fairness and dignity for all17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sinead Mulvihill
