Brown Bin Collection in NewtowncashelCurrently I put all food waste in my black bin which costs me a lot of money but this cost would greatly decrease if a brown bin was available in our area as it only costs €2 per collection for a food waste caddy bin. It would also benefit our environment if our food waste was being disposed of correctly.72 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Síle Mulvihill

No One-Way system on Strand RoadIt will push heavy duty traffic into surrounding villages. At peak hours traffic is almost at standstill in the current situation this will only add to this. No consultation with any residents of these areas and these are the people who will be affected by this decision.* *At the time of setting up this petition, there was no consultation process in place. Now, a public consultation is now open here: https://consultation.dublincity.ie/traffic-and-transport/strand-road-trial-cycle-route/1,095 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Orla Murphy

Stop the closure of St. Mary's Home in Merrion35 blind and visually-impaired ladies have lived here some for over six decades. The proposal is to close the centre and transfer these people to other locations. They have been friends for years; they know the layout of their environment; now they are to be separated and sent to different places. It is difficult enough when you are blind to get to know a new place but when you are an elderly prson it is much more difficult.237 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Michael Lavin

Prevent Old age Pension entitlement age from increasingHaving reached 62 ( any being a cancer survivor this last 5 years) With a Husband who is 65 still working but with a thyroid condition, I am very conscious about how different our bodies and minds are coming into later life and how difficult it is for may people to be able to work effectively as age progresses. My personal view is that the original age of 65 was introduced for this reason and should not have been changed. We have paid our taxes and social welfare payments for the past 45-50 years in good faith that when our time came we could reap our reward (despite it being at a very basic level) The government knew we were coming and should have provided for us as we have carried this country through these years. The argument that people are living longer simply sucks. Yes some do (thanks to improved medical services etc. ) I agree, but many do not and we should not be forced to continue to drag our weary bodies around the workplace for a further 5 years until we are sure almost dead. Can the government not see that instead of having the older population on OAP, they are simply going to have to sustain them on medical /disability basis. Lets face it we have by the age of 65/66 paid our dues and should be entitled to enjoy what remains of our lives in freedom and peace. Perhaps some of us do live longer, but how many of these end up in Nursing Homes where they have to hand over their homes via Fair deal schemes plus their old age pension to cover the cost of their care. (Incidentally this system only allows them keep c.€40 per week for personal items including Prescription costs so families usually have to supplement this.) In my view the younger generation should be giving this matter greater consideration and support than they are,They should begin to realise that their time will come sooner than they expect. Unfortunately, though many of the young believe themselves infallible and do not realise how fast old age comes upon us.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by toni McQuillan

Regulate dog and cat breeders in IrelandToo many rogue breeders who care nothing for the welfare of the animals. Many of them breed with stolen animals, traumatising the animals and leaving families devastated by losing a family member. Adults dogs and puppies are being kept in horrific conditions of disease, overcrowding, and tiny kennels and no veterinary care.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shane Kennedy

Stop the Racial Discrimination in Clubs and PubsIt is so important because i experienced this back in 1998 when i first came to Ireland. I was even pushed out of a pub in Temple Bar for no reason. I reported to the police but nothing was done. I was shocked when my brother that came into the country recently experienced the same discrimination at the point of entry into clubs and pubs.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by olajide ogidan

PROPER QUARANTINING: HOLD WHAT WHAT WE HAVE DEARLY WONOn foot of huge sacrifices made these last 3 months by persons of all ages and circumstances, it would be criminally irresponsible to allow the thirst for tourism income and personal holiday travel to issue in a second wave.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bridget Flanagan
