The Irish government need to do three things: STOP burning fossil fuels, increase renewable energy technology and tackle energy efficiency especially in our homes.

Led by our studies in Trinity College Dublin, we believe that greater standardisation of ESG reporting can provide a far greater impact than the current standards.

Our footpaths and roads are in a terrible state across Ireland, making it harder for people with disabilities to get around. Local councils need to seriously invest in making these better.

It's important for a workplace mental  health, non toxic workplace environment  and especially  feeling an outcast in our own country  after doing all we can for all.

The Community of Murroe call on Limerick City & County Council to reverse the shutdown of Cape & Clover Coffee Truck and allow them to trade once again in our village.

Brendan Clarke had MND. Despite the urgency of his request to meet with the Oireachtas whilst he still had his voice, he died before this was granted. At his request his video testimony was submitted in June 2023 and remains on our website. The following year after an All Party Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying voted in favour of legislating in June 2024, his nieces Sarah and Tara Clarke shared with delegates from over 20 countries what legislation would have meant to them.  In Ireland, as in every country, more than 76% of the people want to see legislation for #VoluntaryAssistedDying. We're asking all politicians need to listen to their constituents.    Now we're asking again for government to look at the evidence and act. Safeguards work. End of Life Ireland is asking for 'Government' to respond and establish an implementation group of stakeholders to look at the operational aspects of provision of assisted dying and related support services.  "Dying people want this legislation and this preparatory work can begin now." says EOLI Spokesperson Janie Lazar.  " We simply do not have time to waste waiting, instead we could focus on living, as Gaynor French (RIP) so clear said in the many radio interviews she had around the country. It is more than 10 years now since Marie Fleming 's landmark Supreme Court case, which meant the Oireachtas can legislate and there is no need for a referendum. The ADMA (Assisted Decision Making Capacity Act) of 2015 was finally enacted in 2023. There is nothing except the will of the current government standing in the way. It's time to legislate." Please  listen to Sarah and Tara.    Then ask yourself this: If you, or someone you loved were given a terminal diagnosis, wouldn't you want the peace of mind knowing you had a choice? And even if it would not be your personal choice, why would you deny another the right to choose for themselves? What would legislation for AssistedDying mean?  Legislation means a person of sound mind, who chooses to have an assisted death having met the eligibility criteria, who is suffering unbearably and whose irremediable illness cannot be relieved in a way that is acceptable to them would be able to die here in Ireland at a time of their choosing. This service is based on compassion and in every country where legislation exists, there are strict controls and importantly, no legislation has been rescinded. We know a kinder death is possible.  Nobody should have to travel abroad, or take matters into their own hands, or to die alone.  Dying people, who want this valid end of life choice don't have time to wait or waste.

Dear RTE, As our national broadcaster we urge you to give the Climate and Biodiversity Crisis the coverage this important issue needs and that the public deserves. Over the past number of months we have all observed the daily coverage on the Covid19 pandemic which has been critical to saving lives. Even more critical due to the enormous magnitude of the impact and risk to millions of lives is the climate and biodiversity crisis. On 21 May 2020 Friends of the Earth published survey results that demonstrated 90% of the public believed the Government should be guided by the science on climate change as they had been on Covid19 so the Irish public clearly trust science and the experts. Every day we receive the weather forecast. Could this be expanded to "Weather Forecast and Climate & Biodiversity Update"? It is really important that the public know the truth of the situation and as our national broadcaster you have a responsibility to report the stark realities. While sharing information on the realities of the climate and biodiversity crisis would be wise, it does not need to be all doom and gloom. • It could be useful to share tips on what countries are doing around the world. e.g. China are developing solar panels that produce electricity when it rains. • It could also be an excellent opportunity to share some positive things that are happening around the country and their impact. There are some amazing biodiversity projects taking place in Ireland. • Another idea would be a "daily tip" for people to do something in their daily lives which has a positive impact. I am sure many viewers would tune in daily for this. • Also season markers such as the first swallow sighting of the year could be really interesting to a broad range of viewers. Irish people love to talk about the weather and items like this could add a whole new dimension to the subject. There is a huge amount of scope here for content and RTE would definitely expand its viewer base. It is very clear from the recent survey from Friends of the Earth there absolutely is a public demand for these news stories and huge potential here for RTE. Many people argue against climate action because they simply do not understand the gravity of the situation and the public urgently need to be educated. Until now the media have not given this issue the coverage it deserves but RTE have an opportunity to change this. We understand there has been some coverage by RTE on this, e.g. the week on climate change in November 2019. However the updates have been too sporadic and irregular to have an impact. The consistency of daily updates that we have seen during the Covid19 pandemic is what the public really want from the experts. RTE could be a world leader here. Maybe other countries could follow the lead and adopt their weather forecasts too to incorporate climate and biodiversity information. While it's an extremely serious topic it is an exciting opportunity for RTE to do something different to attract many more viewers.

We want the Republic of Ireland government to exercise their voice in talks with Great Britain and Northern Ireland to foreground human rights abuses in NI.

To reduce 20 sráith pictiúr down to 10.

I am calling on the Minister for Justice to exercise her power under the Commissions of Investigation Act 2004 to establish an independent, statutory inquiry into the 2010 killing of Toyosi Shittabey. We demand that this inquiry specifically investigates: “1. The adequacy of the initial Garda investigation and evidence collection. 2. Whether racial bias or institutional racism impacted the State’s handling of the case. 3. Why the legal process failed to reach a conclusion, leaving the family without a completed trial or a verdict for 16 years."”
