Stop Ticketmaster price gouging customersOasis fans across Ireland were left stunned when they went to buy tickets to their Croke Park gigs and saw how much they were being charged. This is because Ticketmaster is using what it calls "dynamic pricing" – where the cost of concert tickets rises massively depending on demand. Some people were faced with the prospect of paying €440 for standing tickets, which so many of us couldn't even begin to afford. We are calling on this government to ban Ticketmaster from price gouging on future events. This must never be allowed to happen again.1,348 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Patrick Kelleher

Keep Winter Fuel Allowance in Northern Ireland290 people in Northern Ireland die every winter due to cold homes. Fuel poverty in Northern Ireland is much higher than in England, Wales at Scotland. According to research from the House of Commons Library, around 13% of households in England were classed as fuel poor, 20% in Scotland, 14% in Wales, and 24% in Northern Ireland. We all deserve to have a warm home, free from illness over the winter. Stormont has mitigated cuts from GB before. It must do so again, and keep the Winter Fuel Allowance in Northern Ireland - and protect the vulnerable this winter.930 of 1,000 Signatures

Michelle O'Neill and Emma Little-Pengelly: End the Violence against WomenViolence against women in Northern Ireland is at crisis point. In the space of just over a week, two women in Northern Ireland, Montserrat Martorell, and Sophie Watson were murdered in their homes, and a third was stabbed. And with Northern Ireland having the third highest femicide rate in Europe. The strategy to end this violence is ready to be signed off and funded - it is time for Michelle O'Neill and Emma Little-Pengelly to stop dragging their feet while women's lives are being lost.584 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Roan Ellis-O'Neill

Call For National Transport Authority (NTA) to reconsider ban on electric scootersThe new ban on electric scooters on public transport is planned to be implemented in October, and will negatively affect thousands of commuters that rely heavily on these alternative modes of transportation for part of their journeys to and from Work. A large number of commuters rely on Electric scooters to get to and from the train, bus, and other forms of public transport, on both sides of their journey. This means that they can leave the car at home and not contribute to private vehicle congestion in already congested areas. Despite being considered an environmentally friendly and efficient commuting option, electric scooters will be banned on Public transport under new rules. The reason provided was that the lithium-ion batteries used by many electric scooters pose a fire hazard on board. The lack of real consideration for commuters by the NTA will seriously limit mobility freedom for many citizens in suburban towns. This move also sends a negative message for people looking to move to more environmentally friendly transportation alternatives. We urge the NTA to revisit this ban, and re-examine the risks associated with electric scooters on board, and implement any necessary mitigating controls on board rather than outright prohibition. Your signature can promote the reconsideration of this ban. We ask you to support us for greener and more inclusive transportation alternatives. Please sign the petition.168 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Shane Weldon

Stop Israeli warplanes flying over IrelandWe call on this Irish government to stop Israeli warplanes from using Irish airspace to transport their weapons. These weapons are being used to kill innocent people in Gaza. Why is this important? Over the past 15 months, at least 47,000 people have been killed by Israeli occupation forces, including more than 17,000 children, while more than 100,000 have been maimed. In the West Bank, more than 800 people have been killed, and Israel’s brutal illegal occupation continues. In 2024, the Irish government approved over 1,260 flights to carry weapons, unchecked, through Irish airspace. The Ditch has revealed at least 60 planes carrying thouhave flown over Ireland this year alone, transporting more than 100 tonnes of weapons for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). We demand that Taoiseach Micheál Martin act now to make sure that no more planes are allowed to transport Israeli weapons in Irish airspace. The people of Ireland want nothing to do with Israel's genocidal attack on Gaza, and we must stand up for what is right. Ireland has an obligation under the Genocide Convention to ensure that we are not complicit in assisting the crime of genocide. This would include preventing use of Irish airspace to transport weapons.11,623 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Uplift & The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign

Homes not Fences at the Grand CanalSince May Waterways Ireland has erected steel fences all along the Grand Canal. Waterways Ireland's antisocial management of our canals, and the government's inhumane treatment of Dublin's homeless and homeless asylum seekers must be opposed. The erection of steel fencing along the Grand Canal this year is an escalation in a long-term policy of Waterways Ireland to prioritise anti-homeless action and infrastructure over their role in restoring, developing, and pinoting Ireland's waterways. These fences are more than physical barriers; they represent the deliberate exclusion of certain groups from public spaces and, by extension, from society. This exclusion is part of a broader pattern within our economic and political system that prioritises the interests of capital over those of ordinary citizens. The current actions of Waterways Ireland, including the erection of these barriers, disproportionately affect vulnerable groups such as asylum seekers, the homeless population, and working-class people. Public spaces are meant to be inclusive areas that foster community and provide safe havens for all, However, the recent actions by Waterways Ireland have turned these spaces into sites of exclusion and hostility. The fences have an estimated cost of €30,000 a week and its maintenance assumed to continue up to October could cost as much as €390,000. This money could be better spent addressing the housing crisis by providing real solutions and support for those in need. These barriers are tools of division and exclusion. They are being used to weaponize the immigration issue in Ireland, particularly to divide working-class communities that are already suffering from the deliberate degradation of social services, including public housing, healthcare, and education. Instead of listening to our calls for a humane and constructive solution to this disgraceful situation Waterways Ireland has instead referred to it as not ideal' and has called for 'restraint’. They have refused to engage in dialogue while simultaneously claiming a commitment to “actively involving communities in the stewardship of these vital resources”. The lack of communication, transparency and accountability can go on no longer. We as residents are speaking up. We demand 1. Remove fencing on the Grand Canal 2. No more hostile architecture 3. Stop evicting refugees and Irish people 4. Secure accommodation, tenancy rights and right to union representation through the Community Action Tenants Union for everyone homeless, in temporary, IPAS and emergency accommodation79 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Take Back Our Spaces

Build Calisthenic Park in Blackwater Park, NavanThe benefits of a calisthenics park extend beyond physical fitness. It would encourage social interaction, promote mental well-being, and inspire healthy lifestyle choices among residents. Moreover, with the rise in popularity of bodyweight training, a calisthenics park would attract visitors from neighboring areas, boosting local engagement I urge the council to consider this proposal and explore the potential for funding and partnerships to bring this vision to life. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your positive response and hope to see a calisthenics park in Blackwater Park soon. Yours sincerely, Robert Maher102 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Robbie Maher

Keir Starmer: Ban Arms Sales to IsraelWhat Israel is doing in Gaza is worse than ever with widespread starvation, brutal torture camps, and constant, intensified attacks on civilians. [1] As Israel perpetuates war crimes in plain sight in Gaza, UK arms companies should not be allowed to export arms licenses to Israel. This is the first step to end Netanyahu's genocidal war on Gaza. We are urging you to immediately stop arms licences and exports to the Government of Israel.

Passport Failures IrelandBecause recent we lost out on a family holiday and due to no communication from the passport office even when they have been contacted in relation to passports they still didn’t give no information until a TD contact them on our behalf. We not only lost out on my daughters first holiday, a family holiday the first since my brother passed away but also my sisters 50th birthday. I am more angry that when I posted this that hundreds across Ireland have come up against the same problem160 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Sharon Mc Gettigan
