Dunboyne Junior & Senior Primary Schools are experiencing what is now the longest-standing school building delay in the county — and our children are paying the price.

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.

Our parks/playgrounds are community facilities which everyone should have full access to. However due to a lack of funding, investment in facilities and resources our parks and Jobstown playground have become unsafe, unused by the vast majority of people. Many people avoid these public spaces for exercise or socialising. Our Public spaces are an important element of a thriving, equitable community that people can safely and conveniently access well-maintained, well-programmed parks/playgrounds and open spaces. That’s because safe and well maintained places to walk, bike, and connect with parks and nature directly contribute to a community’s health and wellness. The playground beside the Jobstown Community Centre is in a state of disrepair since council staff were let go. Playground is now locked but children still have access and concerned parents have contacted me regarding this very concerning matter. Over the last number of years, there has been over growth, uneven surfaces and anti-social behaviour with use of drugs and dangerous needles lying about. Young people and residents have unfortunately not been able to access this playground due to the serious neglect of this public space

Our politicians should be focused on improving abortion access, including decriminalisation and NHS funding for women in Northern Ireland, not trading away hard-earned rights.

Stop the agricultural sector from polluting our rivers and waterways with silage runoff, the spreading of agricultural slurry, and the excessive, unnecessary overuse of chemical salt fertiliser.
