Why is it important? This greenway could change how we live and connect in North Tipperary. Right now, the riverside trail in Nenagh is a peaceful, beautiful space, but it ends too soon, forcing cyclists and walkers onto unsafe roads. Families with children, older people, and visitors are all missing out on the chance to enjoy our natural surroundings without fear of traffic. Extending this trail all the way to Dromineer would create a safe, scenic, and accessible route between town and lakeshore. It would promote healthier lifestyles, boost tourism and local business, and offer people a way to enjoy nature without needing a car. I went on a cycle with my daughter and was struck by how wonderful the experience was until the path ended. It made me realise how much more this community deserves. If you believe in safer streets, greener travel, and making Nenagh even better, please add your name to this petition. Together, we can make this greenway a reality.

These courts are vital for the physical and mental health of our community, especially our young people. We, the local residents and supporters of Inchicore, are calling on Dublin City Council to stop the planned demolition of the two basketball courts beside Inchicore Sports Centre, Dublin 8, which is due to take place around April 14th, 2025 as part of the Emmet Road Development. These courts are an important part of our community. They are regularly used by children, teenagers, families, and local sports groups. Removing them would take away one of the few safe and accessible places where people of all ages can play sports, stay healthy, and connect with others. Under Irish planning law, Dublin City Council must protect recreational and open spaces when developing new housing. But right now: • The plan to build a new pitch in Mercy Secondary School has been cancelled. • Goldenbridge Cemetery is being counted as open space, but it is private property, and not suitable for active sports or public access. • The Emmet Road Development will increase the local population by 800–1,000 people, yet it is reducing active sports space instead of increasing it. According to national planning guidelines, there should be at least 2.5 hectares of public open space per 1,000 residents, with a balance between active and passive recreation. The planned demolition clearly goes against these standards. ✍️ Please sign this petition to protect our local sports spaces.  Let’s work together to make sure Inchicore remains an active, healthy, and fair place to live.

The genocidal attack on Gaza isn't just fought with weapons; it's fought with money. Every penny to Belfast City council, rates, events in Waterfront, Titanic, employee wages, goes through Barclays Bank which is profiting from the genocide and handling Israeli war bonds. Barclays Bank holds the tender for Belfast City Council banking services, and we call on Council to take its money, your money, elsewhere. Since October 2023, Israel has raised nearly $20 billion through government bonds, explicitly stating it's for the war. Major financial institutions, including Barclays and the Central Bank of Ireland, have played a direct role in this, facilitating the sale of these bonds as ‘primary dealers’. And investors, like Allianz, have poured in hundreds of millions of dollars. We need to ask ourselves: what are the ethical implications of profiting from bloodshed and conflict? To do business with Barclays is to do business with a state perpetrating genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and apartheid. Barclays is bankrolling Israel's assault, investing over £2 billion and providing £6.1 billion in financial services to companies arming Israel. Their 'primary dealer' role directly facilitates the raising of funds for these war crimes. For months, activists from IPSC Belfast and the BDS movement have been on the streets,  protesting outside Barclays every week since October. We have collected signatures, spoken to countless members of the public, informing them of Barclays’ link to funding a genocide, and implored them to boycott Barclays and stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza.  Their voices, our voices, are a testament to the growing demand for justice for the Palestinian people.

Mayo and Galway county councils want to build a relief road to extract traffic from Cong and are pushing this through with little to no publicity, with much haste and most importantly, with next to no contact or discussion with the people of Cong.  The proposed routes, rather than remove traffic from Cong are funnelling it into the village and have the potential to destroy large tracts of woodland, our local countryside and the privacy and amenity of homes in the area.   We have been given less than 2 weeks to review and comment on plans that will impact on Cong, its habitat and people for decades to come.   As the people of Cong, we feel the routes fail to meet the outline objectives and needs of Cong and moving to a single candidate route at this time is extremely premature in the absence of meaningful public consultation and detailed surveying. We do not support the proposed routes and feel that other alternative options need to be explored.  The council needs to put a stop to this current process, stall all associated deadlines and have a public meeting to afford local people the opportunity to voice and explore their alternatives. For example, a simple bylaw banning HGV traffic policed by a camera system would restrict HGV access to the narrow 1-way system in the village. Money saved from any relief road could be better spent upgrading existing roads.  Cong and its surrounds are an area of stunning beauty, rich heritage and wildlife and we will NOT let our homes be destroyed.  If we work together, anything is possible. We CAN do this!  Please sign the attached and share.  (More info available on Facebook page “No to the Road, Save our homes…” Cong relief road route petition            April 2025 Petition to Mayo and Galway County Councils to: 1) Halt current phase2 route planning stage/ process on proposed Cong relief road. 2) Hold a public meeting with the people of Cong and surrounding area to listen to and review relief road concerns, options and alternatives.  Please review the petition summary page and sign if you are happy that it reflects your feelings on the matter.  We would be grateful if you would let others in your area know about this petition.

Roberta Murray and  Shane O’Brien are Irish activists facing deportation from Germany, ordered to leave by April 21, 2025. Two other activists, Cooper Longbottom (US) and Kasia Wlaszczyk (EU) have also been issued orders. For the sole reason of protesting Germany’s complicity in the ongoing genocide in Palestine, Berlin’s Senate Administration has ordered their expulsion, arbitrarily accusing them of "antisemitism" and supporting "terrorist organisations".  Neither of them has a criminal record. Lawyers for their case are trying to secure court injunctions in an attempt to stop the orders. They have appealed the deportation orders on the grounds that they undermine civil liberties for EU citizens living in Germany, as neither have been convicted of any criminal offences in the German courts. This is not justice. Their lawyer, Alexander Gorski, said the allegations were “unfounded”.  Owing to the lack of criminal conviction, under EU law, this is a “removal of the right to free movement”, despite EU citizens being allowed to move freely between EU member states. This is an unprecedented escalation with dire implications. These escalations should alarm movements confronting state violence everywhere. Their deportation is a political act.  This is not the first instance of Germany weaponising migration law.  Arbitrary arrests made at protests, combined with false charges, are used as pretexts to justify extrajudicial deportation measures, circumventing any notion of independent judicial process and the rule of law. We categorically condemn Germany's complicity in genocide and reject these unlawful measures. We are calling for members of the Oireachtas to condemn this politically motivated action. We stand in solidarity with all those—in Ireland, in Germany and globally—facing persecution for their support for the Palestinian people. From Gaza to Berlin, the struggle continues. No deportation will stop us.  Within our lifetime, Palestine will be free!

  Domestic abuse cuts across all genders, yet male victims face unique stigmas that hinder them in getting help. Men's Aid provides an invaluable service to these victims with its anonymous helpline but more resources are needed to expand their domestic violence helpline to a 24/7 service. At the moment Men's Aid only has it's hotline open Monday through Friday, 9 to 5, that leaves 128 hours where the service isn't available every week, where calls are missed and victims don't get help.  1,310 calls to Men's Aid were missed in 2023, largely due to the helpline's closing times. A study by the mankind initiative revealed that 64% of male victims would not have sought help from their helpline, if the helpline was not anonymous. This demonstrates why anonymous helplines like that of Men's Aid can be even more vital in providing help and a safe spaces for desperate male victims who face extreme social stigma that motivates them to keep quiet publicly about the abuse they're enduring. The anonymity provided by Men's Aid helpline empowers victims, breaking the barriers of the deep-seated stigmas and fear that deter men from reporting domestic abuse they suffer. Male victims are six times less likely to report domestic abuse to the Gardaí, making support services like Men's Aid even more crucial to the journey towards rectifying this inequality. I urge you to sign this petition, calling for the government to increase its funding for Men's Aid, so this organization will have the resources to expand it's helpline to 24/7 service, . Your signature could mean the difference between victim suffering in silence, being unable to reach help when they need it most or in the moment where they're strong enough to seek it. This would help to bring Men's Aid in line with Women's Aid who has a 24/7 helpline, ensuring that any victim, regardless of their gender, can seek help whenever they need it. Please sign this petition now!
