  • Use Nama Buildings for Public Housing
    Instead of prioritising public housing Nama is being actively used to build/provide private housing. Nama is owned by the state and we are in the middle of a housing emergency. Niamh McDonald, one of the coordinators and activists with Irish Housing Network, accurately explained the purpose of the occupation. Niamh McDonald one of the organisers of the Apollo House occupation says : “It exposes the government’s inadequate response to the homelessness crisis and the way in which through NAMA they are putting profits and economic gain before the needs of our most vulnerable citizens”.

  • Update Ireland's Aviation Policy
    Ireland's current National Aviation Policy was published in 2015, having been formulated over the previous three years. It is now 10 years old, and out of date. Given ever-increasing air traffic, and consequent emissions, while also bearing in mind the importance of the sector to Ireland's international connectivity, it is time to reevaluate our aviation policy.

  • Invest in Third-Level Education Now!
    We will be presenting the minister for public expenditure and all party spokespeople on public expenditure with this letter and with every name signed on this  Dear Minister,  On Thursday, October 17th thousands of students from colleges across the country are walking out of their lectures to protest the systemic underfunding and lack of support for students in higher education. For far too long young people on this island have been failed by this Government whether it is in relation to the rising cost of living, no hope of home ownership or being unable to make a future for themselves in Ireland. This Government had a chance to make things better with four budgets, but with every one you might as well have handed young people a plane ticket and said we don’t care about you.  Minister, we as students are demanding that you provide funding for the higher education sector. The systemic failure of the sector is becoming increasingly more obvious with a lack of on campus purpose-built student accommodation and Technological Universities being unable to secure funding to build at all. More and more students are turning to the private sector to find somewhere to live. Seven years ago, the deficit of beds in student accommodation was 24,000 beds and now it is over 30,000. Students should not have to worry about accommodation to such an extent.   Minister for Further and Higher Education Patrick O’Donovan said:Even if I had all the money I could ask for, the building of accommodation would still take five years.” Well Minister if we do not start building today than when will we build? When our children are students? When our children’s children are students?   Data from 2021 shows that while on average OECD countries spend the equivalent of 5.7% of GDP on education from early childhood to third level, Ireland spends just 2.8%. If we are serious around the future for young people on this island and to make Ireland the “best country in Europe to be a child” then we need to start investing in our futures immediately  Minister, we are asking for you to properly fund HEIs to give young people a genuine chance at looking forward to the future, to stop being treated as cash cows and make this an Ireland we are proud to call home and not just somewhere to start before we have to leave.
