Not one of the beaches near me, in the 20km stretch along the coast from Cahore to Castletown, has wheelchair access.

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.  

The main pedestrian walkway at Skerries Point Shopping Complex is dangerously misaligned with the traffic lights. This creates confusion and risk for anyone crossing between Kelly’s Bay and the shopping complex. This is not just an inconvenience — it is a serious safety issue. With the high number of children and teenagers using it daily, it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or worse. I’ve contacted the council several times without success, as have many others. I am hoping that by setting up this petition, I can ask Cllr O Leary to bring it directly to the attention of the planning department and request the council to take action. If you agree the traffic lights should be moved to align with the pedestrian walkway please sign the petition and if you could share this on your social channels I would be very grateful.

Support a planning system by the ordinary people for the ordinary people.

Open schools IRL beginning of March for all Children.

Known as the "cruellest disease" Huntington’s disease families in Ireland have been neglected and failed for decades. Promises have been made — of care, of dignity, of action — but action has not been taken. Now, with UniQure’s groundbreaking gene therapy and other trials ongoing, offering real hope, Ireland must act. This is an historic opportunity — but without specialist healthcare infrastructure, Irish families will not benefit Huntingtons Disease has NO specialist teams in Ireland. ONE Nurse for 800 people and their families with 3000 more living at risk. No coordinated services. And now, with a groundbreaking gene therapy on the way, our health service isn’t prepared to deliver it. If the system can continue to ignore a disease as devastating as this, when there are things that can be done...what does that tell us? Time to speak as a group, as a country as citizens who care about one another.  We urgently call on you to establish the promised properly resourced Huntington’s Disease specialist multi-disciplinary teams across Ireland — modelled on the Scottish system — to deliver expert, coordinated care. These teams are vital not only for managing the complex needs of HD families today, but for ensuring the healthcare system is ready to deliver advanced therapies tomorrow. You have the power to change the trajectory for hundreds of families. Keep your promises. Fund the teams. Prepare for the future. Do not let Ireland fall behind. Every member of the Huntington's community, and the wider population affected by neurological conditions will be there to support you.
