Do not ban dogs from beaches.

We ask you to reconsider your proposal to change the Wildlife Act to allow for the burning of vegetation in March and the cutting of hedgerows in August and establish proper hedgerow and upland management regimes that works for farming, road safety and wildlife.

We support Dublin City Council for its vision to dramatically enhance the public realm of College Green by creating a world-class pedestrian plaza and cycle route, as per http://www.dublincity.ie/college-green Reducing motor traffic in this area presents the opportunity to create dedicated space for cycling in a design that minimises conflict for all modes, including the already large volumes of walking and cycling. We look forward to this area, previously a major barrier to sustainable mobility in the city centre, becoming a shining example of a new vision for Dublin City.

Don't put our communities and pets at risk by increasing dog attacks ! We are demending that the Minister Heather Humphreys, reverse the ban and enforce the current restrictions, with an emphasis on stopping backyard breeding and sales . Do your jobs ! Instead of culling dogs.

Improved access to facilities and support to the club providing an important service to our youth.

Stop unregulated experts silencing children and women in the Family Courts

Dear Minister for Justice / Members of the Joint Committee on Justice, I am writing to urge you to act on a serious and ongoing failure in Ireland's International Protection system — one that is quietly destroying lives while the people affected are too frightened and too powerless to speak for themselves. People who have fled war, persecution, and terror are arriving in Ireland and being assigned legal representation to help them navigate the International Protection appeals process. But in too many cases, that representation is failing them at the most critical moment of their lives. Community organisations working directly with these families have documented a consistent pattern: Clients are being handed signature pages and told to sign documents they have never read — appeal submissions lodged in their name, about their lives, without their knowledge or consent. Clients are arriving at their oral hearings before the International Protection Appeals Tribunal with no preparation whatsoever — no meeting with their solicitor, no explanation of procedure, no practice with questions. They face the most important hearing of their lives completely alone. Solicitors are going silent for weeks — not returning calls, not answering emails — leaving clients in the dark about their own cases while their hearing date approaches. Appeals are being submitted that have nothing to do with the individual's actual story — generic, templated documents that fail to engage with the specific facts of each person's claim. These are not accidents. This is a pattern. And when it fails, the consequences are catastrophic: refused protection, deportation orders, family separation, and return to countries where people face real danger. Ireland has signed international conventions promising fair treatment to those who seek protection here. Our Constitution guarantees equality before the law. These promises mean nothing if the legal system designed to deliver them is broken in practice. I am calling on you to: Act now to investigate this pattern and hold a formal inquiry into the standard of legal representation provided to International Protection applicants and appellants in Ireland. Introduce mandatory minimum standards for solicitors practising in this area — including obligations around client consultation, hearing preparation, and document transparency. Ensure every asylum seeker has the right to see every document submitted in their name before it is submitted — and that this right is legally enforceable. Properly resource the Legal Aid Board so that those without means can access genuinely competent legal assistance, not just nominal representation. Ireland knows what it is to be a people who needed the welcome and fairness of another country. That memory is part of who we are. Let it be part of how we govern. I urge you not to look away from this. Yours sincerely,  

SAVE MOUNT LEINSTER FROM INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT 1st FEBRUARY 2024 AN BORD PLEANALA DECISION TO REFUSE PLANNING PERMISSION QUASHED! On 6th March 2023 An Bord Pleanála (ABP) made a decision to refuse an appeal by Coillte (now known as Future Energy Ireland) to grant planning permission for the windfarm. However, Coillte/ Future Energy challenged this refusal and we were informed on January 19th 2024 that this decision has now been quashed by order of the High Court. The case has been remitted by the Court to ABP for a new ruling, which means that the appeal has been reactivated. No rationale was given for this development - we’ve been told by ABP that they are not obliged to provide any reasons for their decision to concede. SO, UNFORTUNATELY, THE FIGHT TO SAVE MOUNT LEINSTER IS FAR FROM OVER….. A SAVE MOUNT LEINSTER TOWN HALL MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE IN MYSHALL HALL ON TUESDAY 6th FEB 2024 @ 8.30pm - ALL WELCOME TO ATTEND For further information and advice re next steps please see our website savemountleinster.com If you want to support the campaign to 'Save Mount Leinster', please donate to our Go Fund Me Campaign @ https://gofund.me/85877bd0 Please share with your family and friends.
