Irish people should not be complicit in genocide and war crimes.  We can no longer stand by and allow this to happen.  It is not enough to talk - it is time for action. 

Make my village safer – install bollards in Ballina, Co Tipperary.

To encourage creativity in all fields in Ireland especially with the so popular. 

Enough is enough. Sign this petition because the government is not treating the housing crisis as an emergency. People are not just statistics, and emergency accommodation should not be the new normal. More than 15,000 people remain homeless, and thousands more face sky-high rents and insecure tenancies. Meanwhile, corporate landlords continue to profit and exacerbate this housing crisis. The only solution now is for tenants and communities to take direct action. Stand in solidarity, sign the petition, show up, and take a stand.

Please sign this petition so that we can get the message across to the council that we miss Gwen, we miss our chats, we miss our coffee, and our dogs miss their treats! The more people who sign, the more likely it is that the council will take notice.  We are just at the start of the summer, it will be months before the tea rooms are ready to open. It seems so wrong to go a whole summer with no food and drink option in Blackrock Park. Gwen has built such a lovely community around the bandstand, we all chat while waiting to get our coffees, our dogs sit and wait patiently for their treats while we chat. That sense of community is slowly disappearing now Gwen has gone, we need it back. Please sign - thank you!

  Every year, thousands of people in Ireland are diagnosed with skin cancer — the most common and one of the most preventable cancers in the country. And yet, the one product proven to reduce that risk — sunscreen — is still taxed as if it's a luxury.  But SPF is not a luxury. It’s a lifesaving essential product.  Why should families, outdoor workers, and children pay extra to protect themselves from cancer?  Right now, sunscreen is subject to VAT in Ireland, making it harder for many to afford. This especially affects people with fair or sensitive skin, low-income families, and those who work outdoors.   It sends the wrong message: that sun safety is optional. It’s not.   If Ireland is serious about cancer prevention, it’s time to act. Making SPF VAT-free would be a simple, powerful change — one that could save lives.   We’re calling on the Irish government to treat sunscreen like the essential health product it is.  Join us in demanding that SPF be made an essential product and  VAT-free.   Because skin cancer is preventable and SPF is essential.  Because no one should be priced out of protecting their skin. Because we can make change together.   Please sign and share. Let’s protect more people, raise awareness, and show our government that this matters.  

Please sign this petition so our children with Autim/ Autistic Children can continue to enjoy these classes.

Kildare county currently has no facilities for musicians and dancers to develop their works. We would like to see free or affordable hourly rents for small dedicated rehearsal rooms (especially soundproof rooms and sprung floors). As a last resort, we believe that some spaces currently given over to visual artists (and nobody else) could be repurposed for different types of artists who need it more.

"Someone from France, Germany, Spain or any other EU country can be living here, paying taxes, and affected by the same issues as everyone else from housing to childcare, but without a voice in national elections. Because they are EU citizens already, they have no reason to go through a long and expensive process of naturalising again as Irish citizens, and why should they?”

It is not acceptable that camogie players are banned from wearing shorts. All we are looking for is choice. 

No to Shannon LNG.   No to fracked gas.   No to fossil colonialism.   No to complicity in genocide. A Critical Moment for Climate Action and Environmental Leadership Approving the Shannon LNG terminal is a reckless step backwards. It locks Ireland into decades of fossil fuel dependence and undermines our climate commitments. This is a decisive moment in our fight against climate change. We cannot afford to build infrastructure that prolongs the life of fossil fuels and sabotages our path to renewable energy. Ireland must choose to lead with action, not complicity. Fracked Gas Is a Public Health Crisis Fracked gas is not a solution; it is a threat to public health and environmental justice. The horrific consequences of fracking—including cancer, birth defects, and toxic water contamination—are well-documented. Ireland cannot, in good conscience, import a fuel that is poisoning communities abroad while jeopardizing the health of future generations. It’s time to reject this harmful practice and make a real commitment to the health of our citizens and the planet. Rejecting Complicity in Global Injustice & Genocide New Fortress Energy’s involvement in the Shannon LNG project links Ireland to violence and human rights abuses. By associating with a company entangled in the Israeli military-industrial complex, Ireland risks becoming complicit in war crimes and genocide. This is a line Ireland must not cross. We have a moral duty to reject this project and uphold our reputation as a champion of human rights and international justice. The Strength of Public Opposition and Collective Action The Irish people have made their voices heard. Communities across the country, from grassroots organizations to climate activists, have stood firm in opposing the Shannon LNG terminal. This is not a small resistance; it is a nationwide demand for change. The people of Ireland have drawn a clear line in the sand: we will not allow this destructive project to proceed. Our collective power is unstoppable. Ireland’s Energy Future Must Be Clean, Not Fossil Fueled The future of Ireland’s energy lies in renewables, not in fossil fuel projects that will burden future generations. We do not need the Shannon LNG terminal to secure our energy future; we need investment in green, sustainable energy sources. Renewable energy is the only path forward, and it’s time for Ireland to embrace innovation, energy independence, and a just transition for all. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has said clearly: "There is no need for investment in new fossil fuel supply projects if the world is to reach net-zero by 2050." This project undermines Ireland’s global leadership on climate and makes a mockery of the Climate Action Plan and Ireland’s commitments under the Paris Agreement. A Defining Moment for Ireland’s Legacy The decision on Shannon LNG is not just about energy, it is about Ireland’s moral compass. Do we stand for a future rooted in justice, sustainability, and peace, or do we sell out to fossil fuel profiteers and war profiteers? This is our moment to act, to reject the forces that threaten our planet and our values. Ireland’s future is in our hands, and we will not let it be dictated by those who profit from destruction. The time for action is now.
