Allowing Good Character references during Rape trials is re-traumatising & unnecessary. Good character tells us nothing about whether someone had consent, or had reasonable belief they had consent. Sexual assault, is when a sexual act takes place in the absence of CONSENT. Not the absence of good character. The continuation of this evidence perpetuates the harmful & dangerous rape myth that if someone has a 'good character' this may be considered as evidence to give them a more lenient sentence. We feel this is a huge omission of the key recommendations from the Gillen Review 2019. One of the key recommendations at point 4 within the Gillen Review, stresses the need for measures to be introduced at the outset of the trial to combat rape myths. We feel by continuing to allow such evidence, does the exact opposite. We call for immediate action from the Assembly to ensure Victims and survivors of sexual trauma are protected during the Court process. But also to dispel harmful rape myths throughout our society that good character means someone isn't capable of abuse.- THIS IS NOT TRUE!! We welcome any guidance & training the Judiciary is set to have, although it is not enough. We call for the immediate end of "Good Character" references during sexual assault trials- which will contribute to a shift in misconceptions & myths around sexual violence that are prevalent throughout NI. The last thing a survivor needs to hear after sitting through the trial process, is the 'good character' of their perpetrator paraded in court. We call this process out & state it should not be considered when deciding the sentence a perpetrator should get. This undermines the conviction itself & more importantly diminishes & invalidates the survivors trauma.

This campaign was launched for women and children to get a refuge and a means of emergency accommodation in Carlow for Women and Children. The Council have responded to our calls and given the green light to funding a 6 bedroom house. This is compared to the refuge in Kilkenny which has a capacity of 55 people. We are calling on the Council to provide a more suitable location to meet the needs and the size of the constituency.

There are minimal facilities indoors for babies and young children during wet weather periods. Currently there is only a cinema and the swimming pool. The closest soft play area is 40 minutes away in Nenagh.  It's our intention to get as many signatures as possible, and with the help of local government official's to convince the Tipperary Co Council to help provide this invaluable resource in Thurles. 

Get back into government to protect people from fuel poverty, and widespread cuts to public services. The pressures are too great and the risks are too high. Now is the time to end the boycott and get the institutions up and running again. We need political leaders in office so that important decisions can be taken to address the challenges facing our communities.

Simply suggest the idea, with the framing of 'honouring democratic will, that right to self-determination itself that Theresa feels qualified to lead a policy she was against because of her firm belief in, and the desire for a peace based on recognizing the mixed heritages of the people of Northern Ireland by allowing them to retain a connection to a part of Scotland'.

Garda Chief Nóirín O'Sullivan needs to stand down. She must not prejudice the government Inquiry into the allegations of a smear campaign led by Garda management against whistleblowers. She must also be held to account for the many allegations of wrongdoing and corruption within the Guards.
