Not fit for purposeTusla must be held accountable for their actions. The Issue Tusla, the Child and Family Agency of Ireland, has tragically failed the very children it is meant to protect. Numerous reports and personal testimonies have surfaced stating that Tusla's actions have not only failed to uphold the rights of parents, but have also caused irreparable harm by breaking the bonds between parents and children. This breach of trust is a gross violation of the rights of vulnerable families and demands immediate attention and action. Social workers employed by Tusla are entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring the welfare and care of children. Unfortunately, instead of safeguarding this trust, there have been instances where Tusla employees have allegedly failed to follow court orders and have committed perjury, further damaging the trust that already fragile families place in them. The ramifications of these actions are far-reaching, with children facing potentially lifelong impacts due to broken family bonds and parents left feeling powerless and disenfranchised. We propose that the courts take immediate steps to address these failings and restore accountability within Tusla. We call for a comprehensive investigation into the operations of Tusla and demand that measures be put in place to ensure adherence to court orders. Moreover, staff found guilty of perjury or breaching these orders should face appropriate legal consequences, including fines and potential prison sentences. Implementing these steps will not only hold Tusla accountable but will also ensure the future well-being and security of the children under their care. Sign this petition to stand with us, hold Tusla accountable, and protect the future of Ireland's children.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Concerned Citizens

Allow International Protection Applicants (IPAs) to workInternational Protection Applicants are being denied the right to work or they must wait up to 5 months in order to have the right to work. This has a major impact on the mental health of many IPAs. Mullingar 4 All has organised this petition and email campaign in order to advocate for change. Please copy and paste this email and send it to the Taoiseach and edit accordingly to send to your Local TDs, as well as Senators __________________________________________________________________ Dear Taoiseach, As you might be aware, International Protection Applicants must wait at least 5 months from their application date before they can apply for a Labour Market Access Permission. For many, some have received a decision on their asylum application, which denies them a right to work while they wait on their appeal. Denying IPAs the right to work, is in direct contradiction of the National Plan Against Racism, as they are not receiving equal opportunities to their Irish counterparts. With a growing far right movement, these restrictions also allow the far right to claim that migrants are "taking advantage of the social welfare system", which is the complete opposite, IPAs want to work, pay taxes and contribute to Irish society. Cruelly, IPAs are only entitled to a weekly allowance of €38.80, in this cost of living crisis, that barely covers two days of groceries. Being denied the right to work also causes mental implications such as depression, increased stress, anxiety and psychological trauma. Some of the IPAs residing in The Barracks in Mullingar, have already been hospitalised after repeated mental breakdowns from chronic unemployment while waiting for their appeal. IPAs have the skills and they would like to use them. Please give these individuals a chance Kind regards, X121 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Christine O'Mahony

Public Art, Public Values: IMMA Must DivestDear friends, artists, and supporters, IMMA (Irish Museum of Modern Art) is a cultural institution deeply valued by artists and the community. Right now, some of its listed partnerships and sponsorships conflict with the principles of social and environmental justice that programs like IMMA’s Earth Rising festival celebrate. We have an opportunity to ask IMMA to align its funding and partnerships with the values it promotes, leading by example and showing that ethical practices and positive change are possible. By signing this petition, you add your voice to a growing call for accountability and justice. Our Message to IMMA’s Leadership To Ali Curran (Chairperson) and the IMMA Board Members: Rhoda Lane-O'Kelly, John McLaughlin, John Cunningham, Mike Fitzpatrick, Jess Majekodunmi, Sinéad O’Sullivan, Gerard Byrne, Mary Apied, Dermod Dwyer, Eva Kenny As the people with the power to shape IMMA’s direction, and the chance to stand on the right side of history, we call on you to: • Immediately suspend partnerships with Hennessy (LVMH) and Soho House pending review, and remove the outdated BNP Paribas sponsorship from IMMA’s website • Publicly commit to supporting the principles of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement and become an Apartheid Free Zone • Update policies to address all types of conflict-related funding and seek guidance from human rights law experts. • Publish a transparent timeline for implementing these changes1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Right Side Of History IRL -
legislate for legal safe distance when overtaking pedestrians on all Rural and Local roadsAs it stands the only legal requirement is to give a minimum safe distance of Speed zones up to 50 km/h: Give at least 1 metre of space. Speed zones over 50 km/h: Give at least 1.5 metres of space. when overtaking a cyclist. As it stands legally there is no legislation that says a passing motorist/ vehicle must keep safe distance when overtaking a pedestrian who is walking on Local /Rural road which does not have a footpath. I am calling for legislation to be introduced whereby a motorist / passing vehicle with a power greater than a pedal cycle must give a minimum clearance of at least 1.5 metres of space when overtaking a pedestrian walking on a rural or local road.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by andre hendrick -
Join our call for support of Kinship Care in IrelandThis International Kinship Care Week (October 6th–10th), Ireland joins a global campaign to champion families who step in when children need them most. When parents cannot care for their children, grandparents, aunts, uncles, older siblings, or close family friends often step up. This is kinship care - a lifeline that gives children love, stability, and belonging, while keeping them connected to family and out of State care. In Ireland, up to 12,000 children are raised in kinship care every year. Yet most of these carers are left without the recognition or support they deserve and need. Instead, they face financial strain, legal barriers, housing insecurity, and gaps in vital health and education services. Fewer than 1 in 4 children in kinship care receive a financial allowance, leaving many families pushed into poverty. Unlike children in foster care, children in kinship care are denied the necessary package of supports- foster allowance, aftercare services, medical cards, therapeutic support, carer training- that can make the difference between struggle and stability. The Department of Children, Disability and Equality (DCDE) have begun vital work to support kinship families. But DCDE cannot do this work alone, kinship care needs span health, housing, education, welfare, and justice. To truly protect children in kinship care, we need a whole-of-government response. That’s why Treoir's Kinship Care Ireland programme is calling on government to: • Provide a Kinship Care Allowance equal to foster care payments, so that all children are equally supported. • Guarantee child and health supports (Child Benefit, Back to School Allowance, medical cards) without unfair means testing. • Ensure secure homes through housing grants and fair succession rules, preventing homelessness when relatives step up. • Introduce Special Guardianship Orders where the child’s voice is heard, as well as access to fairer, faster, low-cost legal recognition for kinship carers. • Give children in kinship care access to education and therapeutic support services, equal to those in foster or State care. • Extend aftercare supports to children leaving kinship care at 18. • Support kinship carers themselves with access to training, respite, and recognition of their vital role.410 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Laura Dunleavy -
Tell Electric Picnic to Drop Coca Cola as a SponsorElectric Picnic is Ireland’s biggest music and arts festival, a celebration of creativity, freedom, and community. But one of its headline sponsors is Coca-Cola: a company that is a target of the international Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement for its complicity in Israel’s system of apartheid and military occupation. Since October 2023, more than 300,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed in the ongoing genocide. Entire families have been wiped out. Hospitals, schools, and refugee camps have been bombed. This is not a conflict: it is a deliberate campaign of destruction. Coca-Cola is complicit. The company operates in illegal Israeli settlements built on stolen Palestinian land, and its business interests help sustain and normalize this violence. By accepting Coca-Cola sponsorship, Electric Picnic risks becoming complicit too,using music and culture to whitewash corporate involvement in atrocity. Festivals are not neutral. They are spaces where we choose whose voices and values we amplify. Standing with Coca-Cola is standing against justice, against freedom, and against the thousands of Palestinians who continue to resist annihilation. We, the undersigned, call on Electric Picnic to: Drop Coca-Cola as a sponsor immediately. Commit to ethical sponsorship policies that exclude companies complicit in genocide, apartheid, and systemic human rights violations. Music should be about liberation, not whitewashing. Electric Picnic has the chance to show leadership by refusing complicity and standing with humanity. Sign this petition to demand: Drop Coca-Cola. Drop genocide profits. Stand for justice.283 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Collins -
Keep Finglas Connected - For a Better Bus ServiceOur Demands to the NTA on Finglas Bus Services: 1. Create a North West–South Finglas Link Introduce a direct route connecting the north-west of Finglas to the south of Finglas. People need this link to access local shops, post offices, schools and other essential services. 2. Serve Beneavin Road Alter the new routes so that Beneavin Road is directly served. This is vital for residents, schools, and nursing homes in the area and has already been called for by local residents groups. 3. Greater Frequency on Route 23 (Replacing the 83) The 83 has consistently high demand, with buses often overcrowded at peak times. At present we have a 10/12 minute service at peak time on the 83. On the 23, a 20 minute peak services is proposed, with bigger disimprovements outside of peak times. 4. Restore a Direct Finglas–DCU/Mobhi Road Link Reinstate a direct service from Finglas to DCU, Scoil Mobhi, Scoil Caitríona, and Na Fianna GAA on Mobhi Road. Under the current plan, people will face two-bus journeys where they previously had a direct link.162 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Conor Reddy -

Safe Parking for Kilmacullagh Road Schools NowWhat we want: We are calling on Wicklow County Council and the Department of Education to urgently address the unsafe and inadequate parking and traffic situation on Kilmacullagh Road, where two schools already operate and two ongoing building sites — including a new crèche not yet open — are adding to daily congestion. In a letter, we would ask: • To review the original commitment for a new school building for Woodstock ETNS and facilities, which has not been delivered. • To provide a proper traffic and parking plan for Kilmacullagh Road that includes: • Safe, designated parking for parents. • Improved traffic management at peak school times. • Measures to protect children walking to and from school. • To take into account the impact of the new crèche and current construction works before further strain is added. • To consult with parents, residents, and businesses to create a sustainable solution. Without action, the situation will only worsen once the crèche opens and construction is complete, leaving families, children, and the wider community at risk.115 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Tanya White

Improve accessibility Clonlara** Petition update: On 02.09.2025 ** On the above date this petition was updated to extend the proposed footpath to include improving accessibility from the area of Runard Clonlara (also located on R463) to Clonlara Village. We, the undersigned residents of Clonlara residing on the R463 road 1 km and 2 km from the village of Clonlara, wish to petition for urgent action regarding the safety and accessibility of our community to Clonlara village. We are currently disconnected from our village and community due to the lack of a safe pedestrian route. The R463 is a busy thoroughfare with an existing speed limit of 80 km/h, and despite being within such a short walking distance, there is no footpath connecting our homes to Clonlara village. This situation creates a significant safety hazard and effectively prevents us from accessing essential village services and amenities, including: • The local bus services to Limerick city and Killaloe etc. Despite proximity to Clonlara village there is currently no safe and accessible pedestrian route between the two areas. Residents are forced to walk,unsafe, and vehicle- congested roads, putting lives at risk- particularly children, the elderly and individuals with disabilities. University students who wish to access bus services safely are unable to do so, removing residing at home as an option for Limerick University & technical college students. • The local school. Children from our area cannot walk or cycle to school, contributing to significant traffic congestion on the Clonlara Bridge every morning. Many families, if given the choice, would choose to combat this by walking or cycling thus reducing the longstanding traffic issues experienced by all Clonlara residents every morning. • The local GAA pitches, community centers, and churches. • The new greenway intended to connect Limerick, Clonlara, O'Briensbridge, Castleconnell , Killaloe and Scarriff. We will be unable to access this new amenity without driving to it. This is prohibitive for many elderly who would have to lift and mount bikes to cars to drive a short distance and defeats the purpose of promoting active travel and climate action goals. This lack of safe passage has a negative impact on the local community, its economy, and the environment. We believe that improving accessibility would not only enhance the safety and well-being of residents but also help local businesses, such as the recently closed local shop and the remaining bars and restaurants, by allowing more people to access them on foot. Community accessibility is vital for fostering a sense of belonging because it ensures everyone, regardless of their age, physical or cognitive abilities, can participate fully in community life. When public spaces, services, and events are designed to be accessible, they remove barriers that might otherwise isolate individuals. By making it easier for all community members to navigate their surroundings, communities signal that everyone is a valued member. This inclusive environment not only allows individuals to engage in social, economic, and cultural activities, but it also creates a shared experience of mutual respect and acceptance. Ultimately, true belonging comes from feeling that a community is built for you, and accessibility is the foundation of that feeling. We therefore call upon Clare County Council to take immediate steps to remedy this critical issue. We request that you: 1. Install a dedicated footpath including pedestrian crossings along the R463 from the village of Clonlara as far as Aughboy & Runard. Thus creating a safe route for pedestrians, cyclists, and mobility scooter users living along this route. 2. Reduce the speed limit on this stretch of road from 80 km/h to 60 km/h to ensure the safety of all road users, including pedestrians currently crossing in hazardous conditions and vehicles entering and exiting the areas listed. 3. Liaise with Bus Eireann to install official bus stops at Monaskeha / Aughboy to improve accessibility By taking these actions, you will not only address a significant safety concern but also foster a more connected and inclusive community. A footpath and a reduced speed limit will allow residents to safely access their village, supporting local businesses and enhancing the overall well-being of our community. Clare County council spends countless hours and funds promoting health via programs such as Active Travel, Healthy Clare etc. We believe the request to support this initiative falls under the scope of Clare County Councils current mission and goals around community health and could be considered under one of the many funds and schemes designed to support this. We also believe this request falls under Clare County Council’s duty of care around safe accessibility. Additionally this project could be supported under one of the many climate action goals and funds due to the reduction in car travel it will support. The above means that this project could come under one of many remits, increasing the likelihood of available funding to support it. Finally as mentioned it will also contribute to reduced traffic at Clonlara school each morning, which has been a long standing issue for all Clonlara residents and will only get worse with the addition of two new housing estates to Clonlara village. We thank you for your attention to this critical matter. Sincerely, R463 Clonlara residents367 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Kellieann O'Brien -
