We are calling on our local authority, Leitrim County Council to prohibit the use of glyphosate based weedkillers in all public places including public footpaths, road verges, council estates and amenity areas. We are also calling on the county council to use alternative methods for weed control without the use of toxic herbicides. Regarding the spread of the weed known as 'Japanese Knotweed' we are aware of the seriousness of this invasive species but studies have concluded that the longterm use of glyphosate weedkillers do not kill Japanese knotweed. We demand that our county councils use traditional/organic solutions and methods to control any problematic weeds. http://www.independent.ie/business/farming/eu/irish-group-joins-europewide-campaign-to-ban-glyphosates-35649510.html http://www.agriland.ie/farming-news/calls-for-irish-people-to-support-glyphosate-ban-campaign/

This is an open call to the Irish Government, the BAI & Irish Radio Broadcasters to support domestic artists by allocating more airtime to them on the radio. Why Not Her? ask you all to consider supporting domestic Irish artists by working towards increasing the amount of airtime allocation appointed to domestic Irish Artists and Bands on-air across Irish radio, By artists and bands we mean: artists and bands of every race, colour and creed; ie: female-identifying, male-identifying, gender non-conforming artists and artists with disability along with artists from the LGBTQIA community. In this time of economic hardship for our music creatives, we wish to express our concerns with the disparity and lack of equality across Irish radio broadcasting during Covid of domestic Irish artists who are artists of colour, female-identifying and gender non-conforming artists. Radio airtime royalties, which are generated each time an artists song is played on the radio, is now one of the sole major methods of revenue for our domestic artists. To quote the website of the Irish Music Rights Organisation (IMRO): “It has been well understood that consistent commercial airplay accompanies significant music sales, generates public performance royalties, and burnishes a recording artist’s profile.” Across Irish radio, music created in Ireland gets about one play to every six plays for international artists. That’s less than 15% of all radio plays. As a result, foreign payments running to millions of euros leave the country every 3 months. This is real revenue, being paid out by Irish Radio as well as commercial users like bars, restaurants etc., through the three copyright/collection bodies, IMRO, PPI and RAAP. To continue exporting the majority of royalties to International artists during such a harrowing time in Irish history will equate to our domestic artists suffering even more hardship. We ask Minister Martin, those in power within the Irish government, the BAI (Broadcasting Authority of Ireland) and those who work in Radio Broadcasting to consider allocating more airplay and heavy rotation to our domestic artists to safeguard their careers in such a financial crisis for them, with gigs being cancelled and their music and arts scene being one of the worst affected industries during covid.

The water in many East Cork communities is unsafe to drink. We have been on an boil notice since last October and have to buy bottled water or try to come up with alternative solutions. Our communities need safe water to drink while we wait for the problem to be fixed.

More often than not, people are driving too fast in our estate including visitors to the estate and delivery drivers. We need to protect our children better and it starts with us, the residents. Please start by taking better care when driving and SLOW DOWN in the estate. We also need to introduce speed signs for "Children at Play" and 10km max driving speeds throughout the estate. Please sign the petition to Glenveagh for speed signs across the estate. It is only a matter of time before a child is hurt and there's a genuine concern about the speed at which people are driving in the estate. Children are not responsible enough to understand they should slow down on bikes and scooters. The drivers are the people responsible for childrens safety. We need to take a stand as a neighbourhood and for the children of Semple Woods
