Attymass Against Eirgrid 110kV PowerlinesThe North Connacht 110kV project proposes a number of overhead and underground cable corridors from Ballina to Ballaghaderreen. There are 7 corridors in total, 4 overground and 3 underground. For further details on the routes, please click on the link below to the Eirgrid North Connacht Web page and go into the virtual exhibition for further details. Attymass is an area of great natural beauty. It is also an area rich in heritage and culture. There are is also the health and welfare of the people living in the area. We are seeking to ensure that these cables go underground so we can preserve Attymass for future generations. The closing date is the 16th November and we as a community need to work together to keep Attymass beautiful and keep our community safe. Please join our petition. You can get more information on the exact route option on https://www.eirgridgroup.com/the-grid/projects/north-connacht/the-project/ Please put your name to our petition and fill out the feedback form on the website- Thank you9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Olivia Harrison

Implementation of Additional Leave for Pandemic Parents before April 2021Babies born in during the initial lockdown and their parents were isolated from crucial supports as well as family support due to the restrictions. The Government acknowledged this and agreed the additional paid leave but will not implement until April 2021 and this penalises many parents. Not everyone can afford to avail of the unpaid maternity leave entitlement either partially or in it's entirety. Parents need to be able to avail of this before returning to the workplace. Parents are only permitted to take this leave in some cases over twelve months after the birth of their children. This is unacceptable and needs to be implemented as soon as possible.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Laura O'Connell

Respect Tallaght Village - No to 8 storeys. SDA/0250Tallaght village existed back before 800 when the Ceilí Dé established monasteries here. Since the hamlet grew into a bigger village and is now part of a town in 2020. The village area is small ( Main St, Main Rd, Old Blessington Rd, Old Greenhills are), and traditional in design and scale. The taller apartments are mostly limited to the edges and closer towards The Square. We want to retain the traditional scale and streetscape in the village. A bulky, overly modern 8 storey block does not enhance a village ! We want all development in the small village area to respect the existing streetscape not parachute in a jarring style and size. This site is the Alamo for the village. No high rise Apartments are welcome in our village. Show respect to this small corner of a growing town. Make your opposition know by supporting this petition please. !!675 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Kattia Siles-Tomney

Save Tallaght VillageTallaght Community Council Believes the Plan for Esso Site, Tallaght Village is Wrong Scale and Design for Village. Decades of committees of Tallaght Community Council have championed the historic village area, more closely since the masterplan of 2006. We have brought a firm focus to trying to improve the compliance with conservation standards and retain it as a place of heritage. We do not object to the vacant site being brought into use after almost 15 years of vacancy. But this can’t be at any cost! We are objecting to the scale and lack of respectful design given its location fronting into the Main Street.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kattia Siles-Tomney

Eircom Pension ScandalDuring members active service contributions were paid into the pension fund to provide pensions and regular pension increases in parity with pay increases for members still working. This was deferred salary which was entrusted to the trustees to invest to provide the pension benefits promised. By unilaterally discontinuing these pension increases the company has declared the funds contributed to secure these increases, which belong to the scheme members, as "surplus" . In the period between 2013 and 2019 the company with the active collaboration of the trustees has diverted E109 million of these funds to its own use. In 2019 company top management awarded themselves over E100 million in bonuses. Pensioners have had no significant increases since 200823 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Martin O'Grady

MAKE SCHOOLS COVID19 SAFEYou, the Department of Education have a duty of care for the safety & protection of our children & school staff. Parents and school staff were promised “protection measures” yet none are in place. Now at level 5, there are still no safety measures and schools are reporting that when a positive case is in a classroom, they are unable to get hold of HSE and have no guidance only to get on with it and continue with positive cases within the class. NOT ACCEPTABLE.87 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Teachers & Kids Lives Matter

Require Employers to Allow Working from HomeCurrently there is no legislation to stop employers from requiring employees to attend offices in person. This means employers are allowed to ask employees to come in if they decide creating a hot spot for virus transmission.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joseph Alexander

Call for the resignation of Dara Calleary and others who did not follow guidelinesWe need public representatives who lead by example, particularly in these difficult times. It is unacceptable that there is one rule for them and another for the general public. It's not like it was an essential event either.79 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda Hayden

Stop the abuses of Meat Plant workersThe Covid crisis has shown how weak protections are for all workers in this country. The scandal in the meat plants is just one blatant example. Failure to act now and give these workers greater protections and workplace rights will mean huge health risks for all workers and communities affected in the future296 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Brid Smith
