Domestic violence is a big issue in our country with woman that have young children and if we don't stand up and make a change there's no hope for the younger generations

Dear Taoiseach, As healthcare workers we call on you, who as a doctor must share our core values of Compassion, Integrity and Justice, to show leadership in a divided Europe. Ireland must show that we learn from the tragedies of the past, and rather than seeking retribution for them, we act to prevent them happening again. The children of today should not die because of what happened to the children of yesterday. If we do not do all in our power to stop Israel committing human rights abuses in Palestine, we are complicit with them. We ask the Oireachtas to: • Enact the Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018 • Enact the Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023 • Exclude from government contracts or investment all companies complicit with Israel’s violation of human rights, including ending our arms trade with Israel • Ensure that no arms intended for use by Israel transit through Shannon airport • Recognise the State of Palestine These actions are long overdue – to our shame. If we had undertaken them when they were first proposed, Gaza might not be the graveyard for children that it is today.

These demands were written by over 30+ young people all across the island of Ireland on 5 main themes - Polluters, Just Transition, Education, Biodiversity and Youth Engagement. These demands have been written for the support of our political representatives to take into their work. These demands are realistic, achievable and necessary. They are detailed below. Biodiversity To our representatives, Article 1 - Legally commit to protecting and managing at least 30% of terrestrial and marine areas by 2030, while having proof of action. Proof of action defined by evidence of how they are protecting these areas and the steps they are following. Potential means to achieve these goals are Designating bigger spaces for wildlife to promote biodiversity that is connected through wildlife corridors Reintegrate native species into areas around Ireland Conserve biodiversity that already exists and police protected areas Increasing the amount of connectivity in Natura 2000 sites Increase in marine protected areas and policing Article 2 - The government must present more SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timed) goals with effective policies that are clear, direct, adequately funded, law enforceable and linked across all departments on biodiversity conservation objectives and are managed appropriately. The government must also take accountability for failing to achieve the goals that they have previously agreed to (COP10 Japan targets etc etc) Article 3 - Educate and incentivise farmers and fishers to use more sustainable practices and promote biodiversity on their land and through their fishing methods. These methods may include the following Providing incentives to plant more flora/ native plants on land Encourage them to not use pesticides, instead promoting biodiversity in their area that acts as natural pesticides. Rewilding parts of the land to what originally was there Increased transparency in bycatch and net usage. Tax breaks or direct payments for those who follow these guidelines. Add strict quotas to livestock numbers and fishing numbers Education To our representatives, Article 1 - Incorporate the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the primary and secondary school curriculum. Schools participation should be audited with recognition provided for schools showing adequate understanding and application of the goals. Article 2 - Implement intersectional climate, environmental, and sustainability education within the curriculum as a compulsory subject. Incorporate within all existing subjects throughout primary and secondary levels of education Inclusive of teacher training which is audited to ensure successful implementation. Article 3 - Community outreach projects funded by the government and delivered through schools. This will enable students to educate their peers and their wider community to promote tangible climate action. Just Transition DISCLAIMER: For all of these demands, the local communities should be consulted to work with them as society makes these vital changes. To our representatives, Article 1 - Ensure a just transition for all Potential means to achieve this goal are; Ensure that when polluting industries/factories shut/retire workers are offered retraining opportunities for high quality jobs in clean sectors and adequate support schemes for workers in secondary industries in the affected region(s). Create local forums that include councillors, union reps, and community leaders to discuss the future of the region(s) that have lost revenue/capital over the loss of a polluting industry. Fund and empower farmers, fishermen and other workers on how to change the way they work to better include sustainable practices. Polluters DISCLAIMER: For all of these demands, the local communities should be consulted to work with them as society makes these vital changes. To our representatives, Article 1 - Phase out fossil fuels Potential means to achieve this goal are End subsidies for fossil fuels and fossil fuel projects and provide more subsidies for clean energy Protect the ban on fracking licences and oil and gas explorations Make environmental laws stricter Criminalise ecocide Actively work toward reducing our fast fashion consumption as an Island. Taxes and bans on fashion corporations who aren’t doing their bit to ethically source materials and operate in an environmentally friendly way. Article 2 - Greener transport for all Potential means to achieve this goal are Public transport powered by green energy for rural areas. Article 3 - Sustainable & small scale agriculture Potential means to achieve this goal are Drastically reduce our CO2/GHG output by having less cows, but raising the price of meat so farmers make the same profit. More of a focus on plant based food, like growing crops without pesticides.
