Country wide.

Concerns and Issues: 1.     Hazardous Road Conditions: The road surface is riddled with potholes, cracks, and uneven patches, posing serious risks to motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians. 2.     Damage to Vehicles: Many residents have experienced vehicle damage due to the poor condition of the road, leading to costly repairs. 3.     Pedestrian Safety: The deteriorating road surface increases the risk of trips and falls. 4.     Emergency Response Delays: Emergency service vehicles, such as ambulances and fire engines, may be delayed due to the poor road conditions, which could have life-threatening consequences. 5.     Drainage and Flooding Issues: Poor road maintenance has led to inadequate drainage, causing localised flooding during heavy rainfall. 6.     Questionable Allocation of Funding: It has come to our attention that an engineer may have assessed our road but funding was instead allocated to another road in significantly better condition. This raises concerns about the fairness and transparency of the decision-making process regarding road repairs. Requested Actions: We urge Wexford County Council to: • Conduct an urgent inspection of L5060. • Allocate necessary funds for full resurfacing rather than temporary patching. • Provide a clear timeline for repairs and resurfacing. • Improve long-term maintenance to prevent further deterioration. • Review the decision-making process to ensure funding is allocated based on actual need and road condition assessments. Community Support: The residents of of Kilmichael Upper/Ballygullen/Ballygarret/Ballyowen/Ballinacoola strongly support this petition, as evidenced by the signatures below. We request that this matter be prioritised and addressed as soon as possible. We kindly ask for a response from the council outlining the planned course of action within 30 days. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

These decisions will have a significant impact on the future of the Connemara pony and will also affect all daughter societies. It is essential that breeders have a voice in shaping the future of the breed. 

The road is a danger to all and most especially our pedestrians and cyclists. The surveys are done the measurements taken. We need contractors on the ground to make the road safe for all.

For the safety of our commuters and economical development

Preschools and early childcare services face sudden closures, forcing parents into impossible situations and disrupting children’s early learning. Let's protect Early Childcare Services and make Ireland a better place to be a parent and a child.

This is a health and safety concern. 

Ireland deserves ice hockey and ice skating and we are deprived of it without reason. The people of Ireland should be able to compete in ice hockey and figure skating. Ever since I was a child I adored skating and I know if I was able to partake in skating full time, by now I would have been a professional skater and could go far in my skating career but I didn’t and I couldn’t of because of lack of ice facilities in Ireland. If I had a local ice rink I would have been there almost everyday and to be deprived of this without a reason is unfair and heartbreaking.  Ice hockey should have been a great sport in Ireland, seeing as Ireland has great rugby players and already great hockey players.

There has been a rise in burglaries in the last year. Burglaries have been more or less consistently happening since last November. Communities are afraid and this should not be the case for people in 2024. We need and deserve proper rural policing.  

This matter requires immediate attention and action—our children’s development and well-being cannot be put on hold.
