We're in a housing crisis; it's an obvious solution. The land is barely accessed or beneficial to the majority of the Dublin population. This would further the community of North Wall and help the housing solution.

Offaly currently has no domestic violence refuge. This is despite domestic violence being a known red flag. We need safe spaces for women and children who are fleeing domestic violence.

Over 200,000 of our fellow citizens potentially may lose their home or, at best, continue to spend years in Court at great cost to their health and well being.

In June 2015 430 Clerys workers were told at 5:30pm on a Friday that there jobs were gone and the company was insolvent leaving no money for redundancies yet a "flaw" in company law allowed the previous separation of assets leave the owners with millions. Its been 7 years since Clerys and Debenhams workers were affected by this "flaw" in company law also. The flaw is still there and it could happen to any of workplace. This needs to end. We need the Protection Of Employees Collective Redundancies Bill of 2017 implemented NOW!! Its at committee stage at the Dail since then. Its time to stand up and fight so no other workers will have the same fate as Clerys or Debenhams. Will you join the fight? ***Update*** It has been brought to my attention that this Bill fell when the last Dail finished. Sinn Fein have re introduced it and are waiting at Second Stage to go before the Dail. Please share far and wide and lets get this moving again

Dylan Mooney has lived in Sallynoggin for 27 years. He has strong links with the local area and community and two children in local schools. His neighbours want him to continue living in the community. A few years ago, Dylan moved out of the council house where he had lived with his mother, Margret Mooney, his whole life and was taken off the rent book. A year later he moved back in and applied to be re-registered as a resident. The application was submitted although due to the impact of Covid there was a delay getting hold of one official document. The council was notified of this delay (although they are now refusing to accept this). Sadly during this time Margaret passed away. At that point the council decided he could not be added to the rent book because his family member was no longer living there and that his application was ineligible. This would not have been an issue if they had shown any form of decency or consideration for the extremely difficult circumstances Dylan was facing. The council is now taking legal action to try to get Dylan evicted. If this is allowed to happen it will have a massive negative impact on Dylan and his children. He will be forced to register as homeless and apply to the council for support finding alternative housing. This is also an enormous waste of money, both the cost of the council taking legal action and because Dylan will most likely have to register for the Housing Assistance Payment if he is evicted. All this emotional hardship and these extra financial costs could all be saved if Dylan is allowed to remain in his home. The council should be helping to solve homelessness, not causing it! This eviction cannot be allowed to happen. Dylan is asking for a strong show of community support in order to pressure the council to allow him to remain in his home.

In 2019, the Irish Government demonstrated strong leadership as the second country in the world to declare a climate emergency [1], now it’s time they started acting like we’re in one. As thousands of scientists and communities around the world are saying [2], supporting  any new major oil and gas infrastructure would lock us into fossil fuel energy for 30-40 years and jeopardise our ability to fulfil our current and future climate action commitments and meet critical global warming limits Renewable energy is the future and Ireland has taken major steps towards a cleaner, greener future by banning fracking and new offshore drilling licences for fossil fuels. But right now, ignoring public sentiment and government-commissioned reports [3], the new government plans to move ahead with polluting commercial LNG developments in Ireland [4]. Fossil fuel companies have long been planning to build multiple Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminals, a particularly climate-damaging and polluting fossil fuel on the Irish coast; including in Kerry [5], Cork, Mayo and Louth [6]. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=11LDz8VwM-XVKenh_1CGNZJahCrZPtfc&usp=sharing?showEmbed=true These companies will continue to seek ways to sidestep and undermine our national efforts to create a fossil fuel-free future [7] in order to sustain their record-breaking profit margins [8]. We need to stop them once and for all by preventing the development of any new LNG infrastructure in Ireland.   With data centre electricity consumption at 21% in 2023 [9], it’s clear that this dirty fuel would be used to facilitate further growth of the energy-hungry data centre industry [10].  When we take action together, we take leaps towards a healthy planet. Working in solidarity the climate movement achieved a nationwide ban on offshore drilling - let's do it again and Keep Ireland LNG Free! What is LNG and why is it so dangerous? LNG is fossil gas which has been turned into a liquid to be transported around the world on tankers. At every stage of its production, it leaks methane, making it hugely climate-damaging [11]. On a full life-cycle basis, it is as devastating for the climate as coal or oil, with scientists indicating the emissions footprint of LNG exceeds that of coal by 33 per cent over a 20-year period [12]. LNG is often obtained by fracking, which we banned in Ireland in 2017 because of its appalling environmental and health impacts - including birth defects, respiratory disease and increased cancer rates in local communities [13]. However, if LNG infrastructure is developed in Ireland, we would be unable to control whether the gas arriving in Ireland is fracked or not. LNG terminals could also cause significant health impacts and even pose a risk to life for Irish communities due to air pollution and potential gas leaks and explosions [14]. Increasing our nation’s reliance on LNG fossil fuel energy will further expose us to energy insecurity and price rises, deepening the already severe cost of living crisis. The most secure source of energy for our future is indigenous renewables supported by storage [15], demand reduction and demand management. Renewables are already cheaper than fossil fuels [16] and LNG would threaten investment in renewables by flooding the market with dirty energy [17]. Take action - Keep Ireland LNG Free!

It's been 40 years since the first integrated school was started here, but in 2022 only 7.5% of schools here are integrated schools - bringing together children from all backgrounds - Catholic, Protestant and other. But there is overwhelming demand: 71% of people here believe our children should be educated together. Stormont has commissioned a new Independent Review of Education that could change everything - but we need you to tell them integrated education matters to you so that they make recommendations to promote integrated education! Now's your chance to speak up! Email the panel members now and tell them that you want to live in a future where all our children are educated together, promoting reconciliation.

Radio plays an important role in introducing listeners to new music and artists. Each licensed station should be required to devote a minimum 20% percent of its weekly music broadcasting to Irish artists. Both Canada & France have policies in place to ensure their homegrown talent is given their fair share of airplay. Let's do the same for our own amazing artists! "Just do it, every fourth song has to be from an Irish act. It wouldn’t kill people and it wouldn’t make people turn off." Dave Fanning. “Irish radio will not play enough Irish records and I just don’t understand it. How can we break a new act if our own radio stations won’t play our own acts?" Louis Walsh.
