I am calling on Councillors to stand with their voters and local businesses by supporting a CETA-Free Zone motion here locally. CETA is a trade deal between the EU & Canada, that signs us up to investor dispute court tribunals that allow corporations sue the Irish government for compensation if they think their profits are under threat as a result of changes to regulations.

In August 2020 it was announced that the Department of Justice is intending to set up a Direct Provision Centre for people who have fallen victim to the commercial sex trade which is to be run by DePaul and Ruhama. Victims of the commercial sex trade in this context means people who engaged in sex work or survivors of sex trafficking. While we welcome an end to human trafficking survivors being housed in Direct Provision, we would like to see everyone removed from Direct Provision and housed within communities. This step being a longer-term objective means we need to express our disapproval that Ruhama be placed in a position of responsibility within any new centre. Please, know that we will not accept Ruhama as a viable organisation for victims of any kind and we demand the Department of Justice and Minister McEntee put an end to Ruhama being considered for the role of running any residential institution or centre and that the department begin the work to replace and remove them from all state funded activities.

We, the undersigned members of the Irish community, including the growing Muslim population, are writing to respectfully request the inclusion of affordable halal-certified meat and poultry products in the offerings of major retail stores across Ireland. As a significant part of Ireland’s diverse population, the Muslim community faces increasing challenges in accessing halal-certified products at reasonable prices. Currently, halal meat and poultry are primarily available in specialty stores, where prices are often higher due to limited supply and specialized distribution. This has placed a financial strain on families and individuals who rely on these products for their dietary needs. Why This Matters: • Inclusivity: Ensuring halal options in major retailers reflects Ireland’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity. • Affordability: Wider availability of halal-certified products can help reduce costs by fostering healthy market competition. • Convenience: Offering halal options in mainstream stores provides greater accessibility for Muslim families, reducing the need to travel long distances to specialty stores. Our Request: 1. Partner with certified halal suppliers to introduce a range of halal meat and poultry options in your stores. 2. Ensure that these products are priced competitively to make them accessible to all. 3. Promote these halal offerings to raise awareness and serve the needs of a diverse customer base. We believe that by addressing this issue, retailers can not only support the well-being of the Muslim community but also demonstrate their commitment to serving Ireland’s multicultural society. We, the undersigned, urge you to take this step toward fostering inclusion and meeting the needs of all your customers. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sign the petition today to show your support for affordable and accessible halal options in Ireland’s major retail stores. [Add your name and support below]
