Name the new River Lee footbridge after Rory Gallagher.

Waterways Ireland ,Dublin City council and The Minister for Heritage, housing committee members . The signatures on this petition are requesting consideration from the Dublin City Council development plan and Waterways Ireland for continuous mooring permits for residential and commercial barges along the Royal and Grand canal in Dublin metropolitan area . We are asking for a fair and transparent application process for permits which has not been outlined in the new byelaws . We are asking for permanent mooring permits along the navigation on the grand canal for boats who have been refused permits and are in limbo. We are asking for these moorings in Dublin on the grand canal inside the metropolitan area not in another county. By signing and remaining on this petition we absolutely object to the second draft of the canal bye laws whereby waterways Ireland are eliminating the opportunity for permanent house boat moorings outside grand canal dock in the Dublin metropolitan area. We absolutely object to the exorbitant increase in fees which could be done in a much fairer and gradual manner , especially as many areas have not been given a guarantee of the very basic facilities such as running water . We are also asking for the long overdue provision of waste water facilities for boats along the Royal and Grand canal via pump out stations and fresh water taps to be located between locks to preserve water quality . We would like to see a body/ board introduced to over see the operation of waterways Ireland, this was recommended in the past and ignored . We would like to see liveaboards treated with dignity and respect by waterways Ireland . We would like to see a copy of accounts from this public body published In a fair , transparent and timely manner . It is unacceptable that they are unavailable. We would also like to see previous recommendations for coffee docks and various other commercial moorings being made available and put to tender in a fair and transparent manner outlined in the new bye laws . This has been overlooked and not clarified . The issue of antisocial behaviour has been prevalent in Portobello Harbour in recent times. Many Portobello residents feel that a presence on the water, by way of a barge community, will help alleviate some of the unwanted gatherings which take place nightly on the canalside. This proposed mooring would breathe new life into the empty and poorly lite stretches adjacent to Portobello Harbour. Furthermore, it will add visually to the area and increase the sense of community for both land and water residence. Businesses and the local economy have faced a very difficult time over this last 3 to 4 years during Covid . This is an opportunity as a society to reflect on the use of public space and to possibly reimagine our use of, and relationship with, that space, so that we can reopen our society and city with renewed hope as we recover from the exceptional challenges posed by Covid-19. It is time for Liveaboard boats in Ireland to have recognition. Dialogue need to start about moorings , services and permits nationally , not just in Dublin . There is numerous barges moored for several years on the grand canal without permits or appropriate planning permission . They would like to remain . We would like to discuss the option of getting appropriate permits or retention permission in the near future. We are asking for your help in making this a reality for The grand canal in Dublin.

Dear [Local Politicians], I am writing to you today to express my deep concern about the proposed casino in Greystones and its potential impact on our community, particularly our youth. I urge you to take decisive action to protect them by stopping the construction of this casino and only allowing it in an area that does not put vulnerable individuals at risk. Here are five compelling reasons why I believe this is the right course of action: 1. Adverse Effects on Mental Health: Gambling has been shown to have devastating consequences for the mental health and well-being of young people. Our youth are already exposed to gambling through sports, and we cannot afford to let them be exposed to this dangerous vice in their own neighborhood. 2. Proximity to Schools: The proposed site of the casino is in close proximity to schools, putting our children at risk of normalizing gambling as a part of their daily life. We must protect their innocence and prevent gambling from becoming a part of their future. 3. Increased Incidence of Gambling: The incidence of gambling among teenagers and young men has skyrocketed in recent years, and we cannot afford to add to this growing problem. 4. Protection of Vulnerable Individuals: The casino will also be in close proximity to rehabilitation facilities such as Tiglin, putting individuals in recovery at risk of relapse. We must protect these vulnerable individuals and only allow such a venue in an area where there are no schools or rehab facilities. 5. A Stand for Our Community: By taking a stand against the casino, we are making a statement about our values as a community and our commitment to protecting our youth and vulnerable individuals. In conclusion, I implore you to take immediate action to stop this casino and to only allow such a venue in an area that does not put our youth, vulnerable individuals, and community at risk. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, The residents of Greystones.

There are 166,000 empty properties and over 14,000 people, including 4,000 children in homeless accommodation. It doesn’t make sense. We are calling on local councils to use their powers to compulsorily purchase derelict and vacant homes for those who need them. In January People Before Profit Cllr Madeleine Johansson proposed a motion calling on the council to compulsorily purchase all properties on the Derelict Sites Register. These are houses that have been left empty for years. Unfortunately, the motion was voted down by three votes. Fianna Fail, Fine Gael, Greens, and Labour all voted against the motion. However, thanks to continued pressure the council have agreed to compulsory purchase two properties in Palmerstown which had been derelict for over a decade. People Before Profit will propose this motion again in September, please sign the petition and show your support.
