With immediate effect BAN single use plastic carrier bags in Ireland. These 30c bags end up in our rivers and oceans as they are non recyclable. They are detrimental to wildlife and marinelife. Incentivise brown paper bag sales and make them a more affordable alternative for retailers to bulk buy. Ireland needs to lead by example not lag behind!

We are strongly opposed to the recent designation of Tramore Educate Together National School as having ‘half-stream’ status and are calling on the Department of Education & Skills to re-designate it as a full-stream school immediately. We are also asking as a matter of urgency that the Department of Education provide information on accommodation for the school for this September. In 2017, after many months of contacting the Forward Planning Section of the D.E.S. regarding our concerns for a permanent building for September 2018, the Board of Management contacted our local representatives to further our campaign. This is the answer to a recent parliamentary question asked in the Dail on our behalf: “pending the school's permanent accommodation becoming available, the school has been operating in temporary accommodation. The school building to be vacated for this school's permanent accommodation is still occupied by the amalgamated school for which an extension project is currently at architectural planning stage.” This accommodation will not be available for September and we are at capacity in our temporary accommodation.

PLEASE SHARE: Today every nurse and midwife received an NMBI retention fee bill for €100. This bill has insulted every single one of us. We believe this fee is incredibly unfair especially this year when we have put our lives on the line for the past 8 months and as we continue to put our health and our families health at risk during the pandemic. We would very much appreciate it if politicians including Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly for Wicklow could show even a small appreciation for nurses and midwives in Ireland by asking the government to pay our fee this year. Please tag your TD... Maybe just maybe they might fight for us!

It was clear from proceedings at the first public meeting of the 8th Committee, some of the members were not at all familiar with the Citizens Assembly report, nor had viewed the CA materials in any meangiful way. All members of this committee have a responsibility to the people of Ireland, particularly those who can become pregnant, to be aware of all the medical information, legal argument, facts and personal stories that were presented to the CA. Many of those that stood up and spoke at the CA did so at great personal cost, in order ensure that the full impact of the 8th amendment would become public knowledge, for the repercussions and nuances to be explored fully. They gave up their time and their privacy so that future generations would no longer have to live under such barbaric law. It was quite clear yesterday that some members of the 8th Committee, when asking very obvious questions, or making grand and often incorrect assumptions, had not engaged with the CA material. It is insulting to all those who made representations to the CA. It is insulting to all members of the CA who gave up so much of their personal time to actively listen to all of those who spoke. It is insulting to the members of the committee who have engaged. It is insulting to all of us who are having to rely on our elected representatives, the legislators of this country, to decide our fate. We ask those that have yet to engage with the CA materials, to do so immediately and that you treat the issue with the respect and attention it deserves.
