Extend the DART+ line to include the growing town of Kilcock, Co. Kildare. As it stands, there will be a train depot just outside the town for repairs, but no station for residents to avail of the service.

End the expansionist agenda in Irish agriculture.

We are facing a climate crisis and an extinction crisis. We need trees to take CO2 from the air and give us oxygen. We need trees as habitat for insects which are dying out even faster in Ireland than globally. At the same time, since last November it's reported that County Councils all over Ireland have been felling healthy trees at an alarming rate. This is grossly short sighted. We demand that County Councils employ a qualified arborist to protect our trees and that no trees are cut in public spaces without prior public consultation.

Allowing more young people to participate in electoral politics will transform our democracy for the better. Wales and Scotland involve and recognise how valuable young people's voices are in elections and it is time Northern Ireland follows suit!  Following the General Election, we want the Northern Ireland Executive to write to Westminster - asking for the necessary powers to be devolved in order to legislate for Votes at 16. It is essential that the right to vote at 16 is accompanied by high quality political education in schools and youth settings.  It's time to include young people in the political decisions that affect them by lowering the voting age to 16.

We are a youth led mental health campaign, established by Quaker Service, called #MyStoryYourStory made up of a group of young people from both north and west Belfast. We are calling on the Education Authority and its inspectors to monitor what secondary schools are doing to address mental health, so that it can be placed at the heart of the Northern Ireland Curriculum. Through our work in schools we found that mental health is addressed differently in each school with some schools using pastoral care to engage mental health discussion, while others barely touch base with the topic.

St Anne’s Park needs more toilets. St Anne’s Park needs better toilets. The park is huge but has only one set of public toilets - these are at the Red Stables and are comprised primarily of temporary structures and plastic portaloos. These facilities need to be overhauled completely. Besides this we need modern, accessible toilet facilities elsewhere in the park - the tennis courts seem like an obvious location. There could surely be other locations too.

Tear up the Green Paper on Disability Payments in Ireland - the idea of a 3-tier system forcing people to prove "incapacity" is disgraceful, dehumanising, and discriminatory. Please sign, share, and write to your FF/FG/GP TDs, Senators, and Cllrs and tell them to discard this despicable Toryesk proposal, consult us, and provide the real means to access employment opportunities on an equal basis with others.

We are calling on Fingal County Council to deliver a swimming pool in North Fingal.

Dear Ministers, On September 11th, the HSE became the interim care provider at Ocean View due to mismanagement by the Aperee Living group. Ocean View has been providing excellent care from its purpose-built facility for 32 years. From its perch overlooking Tralee Bay, it is a vital part of the community, much beloved by many. “Some of the most vulnerable people in our society are looked after by the brilliant care staff working in the nursing home sector.” -  Minister Stephen Donnelly, TD. With the chronic shortage of good homes for the elderly in rural Ireland, it is more important than ever that Ocean View stays open now, and in the future. We assert the following: 1. Ocean View currently homes 25 residents. All of whom are vulnerable, but some are considerably more vulnerable than others. Certain residents simply may not survive the move.  2.  The residents’ physical and emotional well-being will decline rapidly if they are removed from the home and locality they know. They will lose, not only the vital and frequent visits from friends and family who live nearby but also the critical relationships built up with their carers over the years. One of the residents has been there for over 12 years. It is wrong to take them away from the people who know them best. It is accepted best practice to keep the elderly at the heart of their local communities.  3.  This is a financial crisis, not a crisis of care. HIQA has commended Theresa Winters, Director of Nursing, and her staff for providing first-rate care. Ocean View has residents with very complex needs that other care homes have refused to accept. These residents are now safe and settled. It is unacceptable that they pay the price for the financial shortcomings of a parent company. The government must ensure these Irish citizens, who have paid taxes all their lives, are afforded a safe space to thrive. That is their right.  4.  Ocean View is fully staffed, with a long waiting list. When allowed to run at full occupancy, it is proven to be financially viable. The required fire works, which started in January, could be completed in 6 weeks if the money was made available.  5. Ocean View could model how successful care for the elderly works in rural Ireland. It is small and homely, enjoys remarkable local support, and has nurtured meaningful relationships with the GPs, pharmacies and other healthcare providers in the area. It also provides vital employment for over 50 people.  We urgently demand: 1. No residents are moved.     2.  The Department of Health creates the necessary legal and financial framework to enable the HSE to purchase the facility, complete essential fire works and run it at full occupancy for the foreseeable future, thereby providing 34 beds in rural Kerry. We acknowledge that the Ocean View financial crisis is not of the HSE’s doing. We are very grateful for their support in the interim. We strongly believe that the HSE should be part of the solution. There are precedents of the government rightfully reversing decisions to allow vulnerable groups to stay in their communities because moving them would have been detrimental to both them and the community. We insist the government adhere to the commitment made when they set up the Commission on Care for Older People, that is, a commitment to ‘high-quality, person-centred, integrated care in the most appropriate setting.’ Ocean View IS the most appropriate setting for our loved ones. Yours, The residents and families of Ocean View and the extended network of the Keep Ocean View Open campaign.
