Speed Ramps in KilmanaghKilmanagh village in Co. Kilkenny is a busy pass through village for commuters in the surrounding areas and for local traffic. In recent years traffic has become more busy and unfortunately the speed seems to be increasing with it. Currently there is no traffic controls in the village, apart from a pedestrian crossing with lights for the school on the Kilmanagh to Callan Regional Road The main stretch of road, from the former Brennan's Pub to Abhainn Ri has become a runway for vehicles of all sorts, totally disregarding the safety of the people who walk the roads and the children who live in the village. The speed limit of 50km is rarely kept to by drivers and it creates an unsafe atmosphere through the village. The installation of speed ramps is essential to restrict the speed through the village. I am aware that the council are reluctant to install speed ramps in the village due to the possible noise they may cause. This noise is a small price that I'm sure we, as a community are all willing to accept for the safety of everyone in our village. Also it is nothing to the noise of speeding traffic and heavy machinery that is present in our village on a daily basis. The road that is requested for the speed ramps is the L1009, a road classified as a local road, not a regional road between Abhainn Ri and just past the formerly known Brennan's Pub.54 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emma Nolan

Investigate Data Collection on Autistic PeopleAfter RTE 'Primetime' exposed the deliberate non-consensual sharing of detailed and sensitive information of approximately 48 autistic children and their families by their doctors, social workers, counsellors, consultants, and staff with the Dept. of Health and Dept. of Education. We ask a number of actions to be taken: 1. That the affected families are fully informed. Many of these children are now adults; they and their families must be contacted to be informed that their private information has been shared without their consent. 2.That autistic children have equitable access to appropriate education and that their right to privacy and dignity is given due respect. 3.That public trust is restored by the commissioning of a transparent, independent investigation.3,278 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Autistic Adults Ireland

Player Wills Community CampaignFor over a decade now the Player Wills’ site on the South Circular Road has laid vacant. The site has been passed into the hands of NAMA with Grant Thornton appointed as receivers. This site has the potential to have develop over 500 affordable homes with appropriate community facilities, in order to develop a sustainable community for decades to come. The Minister for Housing should intervene to stop this land being transferred to a private equity firm and develop the site as cost rental and affordable housing to ensure that the housing needs of our citizens is met.730 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Rebecca moynihan

Emergency Call for Universal Basic IncomeWe call on the Government of Ireland to pay a permanent, unconditional Universal Basic Income (UBI) of at least €203 per week to all legal residents between 18 and state pension age, starting as quickly as possible. This will replace jobseekers' benefits – currently €203 per week – and the UBI amount in other benefits, such as the Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment and enhanced Illness Benefit. This is one essential part of the measures urgently needed to help our society and economy cope with and eventually recover from the crisis.1,812 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Basic Income Ireland

Free Car-Parking for Healthcare WorkersDuring the Covid 19 Pandemic - Dublin City Council thankfully agreed to allow Healthcare workers to park on the public streets for free once a photocopy of their Hospital ID was placed in the windscreen window. This provided a little bit of relief and solace to those of us who worked tirelessly to support our country. As of the 1st August 2020, we will no longer be granted that relief. Prior to this car parking was a constant nightmare, with over €120/month being spent on car parking fees and often hours wasted driving in circles to find a space.843 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Jen Sheehan
