Stop granting permission for U.S. military and military contracted aircraft, including troop carriers, to land in Shannon Airport. By allowing these warplanes to land in Ireland we are actively supporting war, including Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Dear Mr O'Callaghan,  We are writing to urge you to take immediate action to protect people in Ireland from known domestic abusers by introducing Jennie’s Law—a Domestic Abuse Register that would prevent abusers from hiding their past and trapping new victims.  Currently, there is no way for someone to check if a new partner has a violent history, leaving countless people vulnerable to dangerous relationships. Jennie’s Law would change this by introducing:  • A Domestic Abuse Register for repeat offenders and those with convictions. • A Right to Ask policy, so individuals can check if a partner has a history of abuse. • A Right to Know system, allowing Gardaí to proactively warn those at risk. • Criminal penalties for abusers who deceive new partners about their past. • Improved protections and legal aid for survivors. Other countries have already taken these steps to protect victims—Ireland must not fall behind. No one should have to suffer abuse simply because their abuser was allowed to hide their past. By introducing Jennie’s Law, you can help prevent further harm and save lives.   Please take action now to make Ireland safer for everyone.   Sincerely

The Russian-owned alumina plant in Aughinish on the banks of the Shannon in Co. Limerick has applied to dump almost 700,000 tonnes of accumulated sediment across the Shannon Estuary in the next eight years. Our politicians must reject this.

https://www.uplift.ie/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/MyUplift-banner-politician-SVG.svg A Choimisinéir,  We, the people of Roscommon and Galway are seeking an allocation of new Gardaí from the 167 Gardaí due to pass out from Templemore in early December.  In the Roscommon/Longford/Mayo Garda Division, burglaries are up 55% on this time last year. This is a stark and frightening statistic and it is causing widespread fear across communities. Burglaries have also risen in County Galway, especially in rural areas.  Garda numbers are down in our Counties and we want to see more Gardaí visible in our communities to deter crime and to allow us to feel safe in our homes.  Given Garda numbers are down, Garda stations have been closed and crime is up in our Counties, we are seeking new Gardaí from your next allocation. 

This native mushroom is renowned for its abundant healing properties, it has no known contradictions, and scientific studies have shown it to have zero harmful effects (The Journal of Mycology, 2018). Yet, recent policy changes have classified it as an entry on the novel food list in Europe. This has forced a cease the sales of our beloved Turkey Tail, a blow to the traditions and health of our community. We respect the need for food safety regulations, but Trametes Versicolor is far from a novel food in our region, rather it is a long-standing feature of our heritage, utilized for centuries in holistic and medicinal preparations. We urge the relevant European authorities to reconsider the categorization of Turkey Tail, taking into account its historic use and scientifically evidenced safety. Sign the petition to support the removal of Trametes Versicolor from the European novel food list.

The biggest erosion of our employment rights as members of The Gardai is imminent. The performance and conduct regulations act 2024. It will remove fair procedure in disciplinary matters. It will bring in a raft of changes which lack any form of natural justice. It is the single biggest change to our rights as employees. It puts most Gardai in peril. The GRA have lacked any ability to deal with this effectively. They have failed to represent our interests even though we pay them to do it. It's time to send them a message and withdraw financial support for them until they start representing us in a robust manner.

We need a food subject in primary schools to teach our children the value and importance of food.
