In 2021 Ireland banned the importation of fracked gas into the country. In 2025 the new Government changed its mind, and has given the go-ahead for construction of new LNG infrastructure. We need to send a clear message to the Government - we say no to new fossil fuel infrastructure and to dirty, dangerous LNG.

Stop the use of palm oil!

Following recent communication from the CDNT, we have learned that the current Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) assigned to St. Cecilia's School is beginning maternity leave.  After discussions with the CDNT manager, we were informed that the HSE has no plans to provide SLT support to the children of St. Cecilia's until March/April 2025, when another SLT is expected to return. As parents, we find it wholly unacceptable and unethical for the HSE to leave children with severe to profound complex needs without essential SLT services for up to six months. We demand that the HSE immediately provide an SLT to deliver the necessary level of support to our children, and to work collaboratively with teachers and parents/guardians. Additionally, we urgently request the assignment of an Occupational Therapist (OT) to support the children at St. Cecilia's. It is imperative that both the SLT and OT assigned offer a complete,dedicated service rather than a nominal presence. If the HSE cannot meet this critical need immediately, we call on them to allocate the necessary funding directly to St. Cecilia's School so that an SLT and OT can be sourced independently. This has already been facilitated by the HSE for St.Killians special needs school in Co. Cork,and we insist on the same consideration.  This matter requires immediate attention and action—our children’s development and well-being cannot be put on hold.

Seriously consider the consequences and effect on communities of closing rural post offices.

In the wake of climate catastrophe Hurricane Ophelia, Denis Naughten needs to stop derailing the climate targets of the whole EU by pushing for loopholes

No bowl of shamrock for Donald Trump! In just a few short weeks Trump has shown himself to be more ruthless, more unaccountable, and more reckless than anybody expected. He's threatened ethnic cleansing in Gaza, ordered that people in the US be rounded up and detained in concentration camps in Guantánamo Bay, launched a massive attack on the rights of trans people, and has given corporations free reign to destroy our land, oceans, and climate.

Do not sell large tracts of land to international corporates and vulture funds who are only interested in making fast profits from destroying nature and our beautiful countryside. Ireland needs more native woodlands and sustainable forestry, not more mass plantations.

We know that the vast majority of people want to see an end to greyhound racing, but there is a problem - the industry has consistently been awarded more state support. We must stop handing over our public money to the cruel greyhound racing industry.

Block the Government from increasing the Old age pension entitlement age beyond the current age 66.
