Stand together and request that our wellbeing and professional judgements regarding the new JC Reform and Roll-Out be considered and listened to. We as classroom teachers need a lot more support and guidance than has been given thus far.

Throughout the pandemic in Ireland the hardest tasks have fallen and continue to fall on the shoulders of our nurses and healthcare workers up and down the country. These amazing people have remained strong and keep working despite very demanding and challenging conditions.  Countless businesses have been forced to close and many people have fallen ill or died from Covid, but despite all, our brave nurses have remained the backbone of the country and for this they deserve respect.  The salary nurses recieve does not truly reflect the work they do and has been a much talked about subject for many years and little has been done to rectify the issue. The pandemic has truly crippled the country and we, the undersigned, feel that our nurses need to be better financially rewarded for their heroic efforts especially throughout the past year and into the future.  Yes, it is a nice gesture to have a national round of applause and for everyone to light a candle in their window for the health care workers but there seriously needs to be a financial reward also.  We are calling on the Irish government to acknowledge the current situation and reassess Irish nurses' salaries so that they are fair and really reflect the important work our nurses do day in and day out.  A salary increase would incentivise newly qualified nurses to remain in Ireland rather than travel to better paid jobs abroad.  We need the nurses and the nurses need to be valued.

We want Brian O'Gorman, CEO of Clúid, to intervene to make sure all workers currently picketing the Mary's Mansions site are given the money they are owed, proper contracts, pension and PRSI payments. We want Mr. O'Gorman to tell Ganson, the main contractor on site, that it needs to engage fully with the workers and their trade union to come to a solution acceptable to workers, so they can get back to work and finish these badly-needed homes.

We formally request that Cork County Council introduce traffic calming measures on all routes entering Macroom town. With a focus on reducing speed of traffic, increasing pedestrian safety and ensuring a safer transit of all who travel through our lovely town. We would like Vehicle activated signs, signs which react with a message if they detect a vehicle exceeding a pre-determined speed on both the Cork and Killarney entry points to Macroom. We would like the Cork County Council to consider raised pedestrian crossings such as speed humps for all crossings in Macroom. We would like such speed humps to be considered for Sleaveen Rd and Coolyhane. Sleaveen Rd is a main access point to two schools and the playground. Coolyhane has seen people use excessive speeds which make the road unsafe. We would like the council to remove the parking spaces which are currently opposite the entry way to Bus Eireann Bus Stop.
