Rents have been allowed to spiral out of control for years, and most of us are paying enormous amounts of money just so we can have a safe, secure place to call home. Now, Taoiseach Micheál Martin says he wants to scrap the rent pressure zone (RPZ) system. This would mean that landlords can hike rents even more than they already are, pushing more and more of us to the brink. No matter who we are or where we come from, we all need a home where we can sleep at night, knowing that tomorrow we will wake up feeling secure. But this government wants to cater to landlords and private corporations who see our homes as an opportunity to make more money. What we need now is an urgent and lasting rent freeze across the entire country. There must be no further rent increases until this government can ensure that everyone who needs a home has one. They can do this by bringing the tens of thousands of empty homes across Ireland back into use.

Keep our homes safe and our electricity, heat and water supplied. Charge up our medical devices

Donald Trump has started his presidency threatening to forcibly remove all Palestinians from Gaza and turn it into a holiday resort, he has doubled down in his support for war criminal Netanyahu, and has resumed sending heavy bombs to Israel for them to use against people in Gaza.  He is also causing chaos back in the US:  • He has launched a massive attack on trans rights putting thousands of people in serious danger of their lives. • He has attacked hundreds of thousands of workers, slashing jobs and allowing billionaire Elon Musk to fire entire departments. • He has ordered that people who live and work in the US without specific documentation are to be rounded up and detained in the infamous Guantánamo Bay prison. • He is dismantling regulations on corporations that keep people's food and water safe. • He is ramping up polluting fossil fuel extraction, undoing decades of slow progress. • He is removing all information about trans people, climate change, and public health from government websites. It is unthinkable that any Irish politician would go to the White House this St. Patrick's day to shake Trump's hand and we are calling on you Micheál Martin to boycott the White House this March.

We commend all of the people who have worked tirelessly to repair our electricity network after the destructive Storm Éowyn, but we were shocked to hear the CEO of ESB Networks warning that the cost of these repairs would be passed on to customers through electricity price hikes. People across Ireland are already struggling to afford their electricity bills. So many of us are struggling to make ends meet – further electricity price hikes will push so many of us to the brink. The ESB has plenty of money – its operating profit for the first six months of 2024 was €446 million. Let the electricity companies foot the bill for storm repairs – not the people of Ireland.

The dedicated staff who work there are asking for our support to help them keep their jobs local. The Centre supports our schools and local community. It is too valuable a resource to loose.

It is important for equality within our education system. The image (50km radius around Letterkenny) shows clearly that the new location will serve as a central location to support teachers and SNAs who work in schools throughout County Donegal.

Here’s why you should sign: ✅ Hold Politicians Accountable – If an elected official ignores their campaign promises or fails to take action on critical issues, voters should have the power to respond before the next election. ✅ Strengthen Democracy – Other democracies like the US, Canada, and parts of Europe already allow citizens to recall politicians. Ireland should modernise its system to give people a stronger voice. ✅ Ensure Promises Are Kept – Campaigns should not be built on empty promises. If politicians know they can be recalled for inaction, they will have a stronger incentive to follow through on their commitments. ✅ Empower Citizens – Democracy doesn’t stop at the ballot box. Irish voters deserve a mechanism to ensure they are truly represented throughout a politician’s term. Signing this petition is a step toward real accountability in Irish politics. Let’s make sure our leaders work for the people—not just for re-election. Sign now to demand change!

Article III of the genocide convention makes it a crime to be complicit in the crime of genocide. This makes Allianz in breach of international law.  Article I states that governments have a responsibility to prevent and punish genocide. This makes the Irish Government responsible for punishing these companies in breach of the Genocide Convention eg Allianz. The GAA cutting ties with Allianz will send out a massive statement that the GAA will not be complicit in genocide.

The Need for Safer Roads and Access to Sports Facilities for TETNS Students.  As a community, we value the well-being, safety, and education of our children. The lack of access to safe sports facilities and the perilous routes students take to reach them is a pressing concern that requires immediate attention.  Every day, over 2,200 students and families use Dublin Road, Athenry Road, and Frank Stockwell Road to get to and from school. This poses a significant risk to their safety, as these roads are congested with all manner of vehicles, including cars, buses, tractors, and lorries.  The situation is particularly alarming for our children in Tuam Educate Together NS, who must walk over 3km to and from Tuam Stars GAA Club to access sports pitches. This not only puts them at risk of injury or worse but also limits their opportunities for physical activity, socialization, and team-building through sport.  Moreover, students from Junior Infants upwards are forced to cross the busy Dublin Road every week to reach the Tusla Hall for PE classes and assemblies. This is a hazardous journey that requires constant vigilance and can be a major deterrent to our children's participation in physical education and extracurricular activities.  By signing this petition, we are calling on the Minister for Education Helen McEntee and the Department of Education to provide safe access to adjacent sports facilities and pitches for TETNS students. This is not just a matter of convenience or comfort; it's a critical aspect of our children's overall well-being, education, and development.  We believe that all children have the right to:  • Safe and convenient access to sports facilities and pitches  • Adequate physical education and extracurricular activities to promote their health, wellbeing, and social skills  • A safe and healthy environment in which to grow and develop  By supporting this petition, we are advocating for a fundamental change that will benefit not just our children but the entire Tuam community. We urge you to join us in demanding safer roads, better sports facilities, and a healthier future for all of us.

Ensuring affordable and accessible halal meat and poultry options in major Irish retailers is not just about meeting the dietary needs of the Muslim community—it’s about fostering inclusion, equity, and mutual respect in a diverse society. Here’s why this matters: 1. Economic Fairness: Many families are struggling with rising costs, and the higher prices of halal-certified products in specialty stores place an additional burden on Muslim households. Access to affordable options can ease financial pressure and ensure fair treatment for all consumers. 2. Cultural Inclusion: Ireland is home to a growing multicultural population. By providing halal-certified products, major retailers can demonstrate their commitment to inclusion, respect for diversity, and the values of a progressive, welcoming society. 3. Convenience and Accessibility: Currently, many families must travel long distances or pay premium prices to access halal meat and poultry. Introducing halal products in major retailers will make it easier for individuals and families to meet their dietary needs without unnecessary hardship. 4. Health and Well-Being: For many, halal food is more than a dietary choice—it’s a fundamental part of their faith and identity. By supporting this campaign, we can ensure that everyone in our community can access food that aligns with their values and beliefs. 5. Support Your Neighbors: Joining this campaign is an act of solidarity with your Muslim neighbors and friends. It’s a way to show that you care about their well-being and believe in equality for all. 6. Build a Stronger Community: When communities work together to address shared challenges, we create a more united, compassionate, and inclusive society. 7. Encourage Positive Change: By advocating for accessible halal products, you’re helping to ensure that businesses adapt to the changing needs of our diverse population, setting a positive example for other industries. 8. Set a Precedent for Inclusion: Supporting this initiative sends a powerful message to policymakers, businesses, and organizations across Ireland that inclusivity is not optional—it’s essential. Together, we can create a fairer, more inclusive Ireland where everyone feels supported and valued. Your signature can make a difference. Join us today!
