• Return Gaeilge Option to BOI ATMs
    For many years, this Irish language option has been a very welcome addition to banking services in this country and it’s removal shows very little regard for those who use the Irish language daily and live in Gaeltacht areas. The latest Census figures tell us that 190,276 people speak Irish every week. Initiatives like being able to take out cash as Gaeilge are a novel way of inserting the Irish language into your daily life.

  • Give Irish Natura and Hill Farmers Ass a seat on the Rural Development Programme EU Monitoring Comm
    The INHFA represent over 30,000 farmers in the West of Ireland. As they have no seat on any of the decision making committee, these farmer have no voice on these committees, which decides the future of farming and rural life in Ireland.

  • Improved Internet for Three Ireland Customers in Donegal
    Donegal is a county which is deprived and often neglected by the Government and by corporations. As customers of Three Ireland we feel we deserve the same service as those in other areas who are charged the same rates for better quality internet. We ask that Three Ireland improve the quality of their internet for their customers in Donegal. We'd also like Three to make it clear once and for all as to to whether there is upgrade work being done in the county and when do they expect the work to be completed. Finally we ask for a reduction in the rates until such a time as we in Donegal receive the same standard of service as those in areas with high quality internet.

  • Hold a Competition For A New Rebel Flag
    After the attacks in America by racists wielding the confederate flag, it's important that Irish sports fans don't seem to be endorsing the racism long associated with the confederate flag. But, Cork's history as the rebel county should be celebrated, and this is a great opportunity to do it!

  • Stop privatisation of Dublin's bus routes
    This kind of privatisation has been tried in many cities across Europe and beyond and it always results in sub-standard services or higher prices for those whose transport needs lie on unprofitable routes. As an economist I implore Ms. Graham to rethink this plan. Improve Dublin Bus instead.

  • R128 Road Closure Kilbush Lane to Palmer Road Rush
    The current proposal is to close the R128 from Kilbush Lane to Palmer Road from 4th September to 24th November. This results in cancellation of the 33 bus service through Rush to Skerries and instead implementation of a shuttle bus service, the details of which are unclear. This affects all people relying on public transport to work, to get kids to schools and will cause massive disruption and inconvenience. The only other access road will be via Palmer Road which is unlit and already in an appalling state and not capable of supporting the levels of through traffic this road closure will cause.

  • RTE Media coverage of the 24 million facing famine in East Africa
    In a world filled with excess food, 24 million people are on the brink of famine, including 1.4 million children at imminent risk of death. In the face of such grim numbers, a stark question confronts the world’s most powerful: Why in 2017 can’t they avert such a seemingly archaic and preventable catastrophe? And WHY is it not being reported by RTE, whose license I pay?

  • Clear diagnosis and treatment pathways for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome in Ireland
    Ehlers-Danlos is a complex genetic condition resulting in faulty collagen. Because of this fault, patients' joints can dislocate on a daily basis, leaving us in agony. And that is only the beginning of the catalogue of symptoms that inflict us; some, life threatening. Early diagnosis and intervention is fundamental for long term prognosis and care, but unfortunately Ireland does not have one, qualified, appointed specialist in the whole country in the public health domain. This has lead to people with EDS/ HSD becoming so de-conditioned, with years of no medical intervention, that they cannot work, function and sometimes cannot walk. Without even initial diagnosis patients have no access to services or care. About me: My name is Kitty. I'm nearing 40 and a wheelchair user. I was only officially diagnosed in my late 20's, after a life in pain. I saw numerous specialists in various areas, spent my 20's on waiting lists. Some doctors and physiotherapists said they believed I had EDS, yet said they were not qualified to diagnose the condition. I relied heavily on learning about my condition from the community of other patients with EDS/ HSD, and realised my story isn't unique at all. We are not "rare' - we are rarely diagnosed. Once diagnosed it's nearly impossible to find a qualified physiotherapist, like with everything it is an Eircode lottery. We get no where on the treatment abroad scheme (especially in cases to see consultants) and as the main UK Hypermobility clinics are private this is automatically excludes us from the scheme. The HSE pretend we do not exist, quoting ridiculous numbers when asked how many of us there are in the country! My story isn't special, or unique -it's a very similar story for most patients in Ireland with these conditions. This cannot continue. People are literally being left to rot. Parents are forced to fund their children's healthcare instead of their own, because they often cannot afford to do both (as these are genetic conditions). We cannot let another generation of EDS and HSD patients go undiagnosed and untreated. Please support our campaign - Sign up the petition and share on social media.

  • Stop the St. Helen's Court Eviction in Dun Laoghaire
    The Residents of St. Helen's Court have been served with eviction notices by the Vulture fund which owns the building they live in. They will become homeless within a matter of weeks if this isn't stopped. Vulture Funds like Apollo Global Management are buying up more and more property in Ireland and this type of behaviour will become the norm unless our Minister for Housing steps in to stop it from happening. Simon Coveney, our last Minister for Housing, was forced to intervene because of people power to stop a similar eviction which was due to take place in Limerick Strand Apartments. It's time now for Eoghan Murphy to do the same. Homelessness continues to grow in Ireland - and stopping evictions like this are one of the key ways of stopping it from getting any worse.

  • Publish all salaries over €100,000 in RTE
    The top 10 earners in RTE get nearly €3 million between them. Meanwhile RTE is looking for redundancies and also increasing the licence fee. We need our public broadcaster to demonstrate fairness and equality before struggling families are asked to foot the bill for pay discrimination.
