Fracking is toxic, it rips up our countryside and pollutes the water we drink. In the 'New Decade, New Approach' agreement, there's no mention of fracking even though it's banned in Scotland, England and the Republic of Ireland.

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.

On at least two occasions in October 2024 ASL Aviation has transported weapons systems for Israeli for the Israeli military to Tel Aviv. This means that a company based in our village, Swords, is directly helping the Israelis carry out their genocide of the Palestinian people. 1. We demand that ASL issues a public statement that they have stopped carrying and will no longer carry military equipment to Israel, either directly or indirectly. ASL attempted to deflect by issuing a statement that they have “no contract with the IDF”. However, the evidence is clear - ASL operated 737s have been carrying weapons to the IDF on behalf of FedEx. 2. We demand that ASL issues a public statement stating that ASL has refused to do business with Fed Ex and Fed Ex Express until those companies provide a guarantee not to transport weapons, munitions or military equipment.

Reinstate the 98 workers sacked for joining a trade union by Galway based multinational C&F Tooling.

Reverse the ludicrous decision to close charitable Soup Runs for Dublin's Homeless and Needy if they don't comply with HACCP. Soup kitchens run by Volunteers every night in Dublin feed up to 300 people per night. Our service users rely heavily on this service. All food is cooked in family kitchens who have fed countless over tens of years, no one has died! These are dedicated people who cook good quality and wholesome food with love. Don't just simply shut us down, work with us to find a solution. These people can't be abandoned. They need to be fed. It is an essential service, if we are shut down who will feed these unfortunate people?

We hope that Waterford County Council, will follow similar footsteps and declare a climate and biodiversity emergency. Especially as County Waterford, is one of the worst offenders for unnecessary tree felling and illegal hedge cutting. We feel that they are not doing enough to update farmers and other members of the council and public, about the benefits of wildflower meadows, keeping hedges untrimmed during nesting and mating seasons, and the complete and utter need for trees to be maintained no matter what, in this climate we now live in. We have 10 years left before we have done irreversible damage to the planet. It is an extreme emergency, that needs to be resolved now. And the council could have a huge part to play in helping solve it. We demand that they declare this vital headline, and set out a clear action plan of what they will do.
