Hold a public inquiry into UHL

Locals want to be able to access their amenities free. 4 euro to carpark is ok if you are spending a few hours on beach but to just go for a dip or walk it is expensive. Locals partake in seaswimming n oly go for 30 minutes. Local parking restriction don't facilitate road parking. A pass for local residents for the summer months should be allocated.

We have the right to get on with our activities of daily living. But for the normal Palestinian people this is  not allowed due to the Evil response and regime in Israel. They are using the hostages as way of killing a civilisation they have never had respect for. Why are we allowing the Israel government to do this? What can we do to stop this? Please  continue to support the Palestinian people  & condemn Israel’s evil.

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.

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is James Curry, and I am a resident of Watsons estate, who is passionate about the well-being and development of our community. I am writing to bring to your attention an idea that has been on my mind for many years, which is to create 2 basketbal courts in the park. Especially since the 2 basketball nets that were located on footpaths have been removed to make way for a sign and entrance to a cafe, yes a sign seems to be more important than the basketball nets. As you may know, recreational facilities play a critical role in promoting physical activity, community engagement, and overall mental health, especially for our youth. Unfortunately, our current facilities do not meet the growing demand for accessible and safe sports spaces when it comes to basketball. Originally the basketball nets were put on the footpath in the park, now the basketball nets are placed in the astroturf football pitch. This is not suitable for a sport like basketbal at any level. I have spoken with many residents, and it is clear that there is a strong desire for more basketball facility’s, which are both cost-effective to construct and popular among a wide range of age groups. To support this effort, I am in the process of launching a petition, This petition aims to demonstrate the level of demand and the importance of this project to local residents. I believe that by providing two new basketball courts, we can offer a constructive outlet for our youth, promote healthy lifestyles, and foster a greater sense of community. I understand that creating such facilities requires coordination and resources, but I firmly believe that the long-term benefits far outweigh the initial investment. I would love the opportunity to meet with you or one of your representatives to discuss this proposal further and explore ways in which we can work together to make this vision a reality. Thank you for considering this proposal. I look forward to your feedback and am happy to provide any additional information that may assist in making this project a success. Together, we can make a positive and lasting impact on our community. Sincerely,  James Curry
