Keep our green area wild!

We are concerned citizens who urge our TD's and County Councillors and the Department of Education to act now and announce the building of a new Educate together school'. Our town is growing rapidly and we've reached the numbers quicker than expected.

Ireland must remain a neutral  and independent  voice for peace. Our neutrality and the Triple Lock safeguard our democracy, sovereignty, and peacekeeping — not war-making. We call on Tipperary County Council to reject the Government’s plans to abolish or amend the Triple Lock. 

We, the undersigned, request that more visible community policing is engaged in the Ringsend, Irishtown, Bath Ave/South Lotts and Sandymount areas of Dublin 4, with particular focus on the playground at Sean Moore Park, Dublin 4.

TÁ SÉ RIACHTANACH MAOINIÚ CEART A BHEITH AG EALAÍONA, CULTÚR & OIDHREACHT NA hÉIREANN CHOMH MAITH LE ROINN RIALTAIS ATÁ TIOMNAITHE DO NA CÚRAIMÍ SIN AGUS NA CÚRAIMÍ SIN AMHÁIN. Give arts, culture and heritage the respect it deserves by creating an independent Department and setting a funding target of 0.6% of GDP (the EU average spend on arts/culture). Ireland has one of the lowest levels of public support in the EU. Tabhair an t-ómós cuí do na healaíona, don chultúr agus don oidhreacht trí Roinn neamhspleách a thiomnú dóibh agus é a bheith mar sprioc maoiniú 0.6% de OTI (meán an chaiteachais san AE ar na healaíona/an gcultúr) a chur ar fáil dóibh.

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!

We created this petition to express our deep concern about plans to develop a gas-fired power generator and a battery energy storage facility in the Portumna/Killimor area of East Galway. There has been no engagement or consultation with the local community in relation to this development. We are seriously concerned about the impact of such an enormous facility on property, tourism, agriculture and local business in East Galway.  The potential health impacts cannot be overlooked. We believe this will have a grave impact on the biodiveristy of the local area.  The tourism industry and local businesses, which so heavily rely on the preservation and promotion of the unique environment of East Galway, could face significant negative impacts.  We must ask - why is there a need for more power plants in this region? We will need expert help in our fight against this development. Our official fundraising page is: https://www.idonate.ie/crowdfunder/EastGalwayGasConcernGroup
