Ryanair’s shift to a 100 % digital boarding‑pass system, from 12th November 2025, requires every traveller to use the Ryanair app on a smartphone. While convenient for many, this policy excludes passengers who lack digital skills or access to a compatible device. The National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA) has highlighted that the change “could be challenging for those who are not digitally literate.” Digital illiteracy is not a personal failing; it is a widespread barrier affecting seniors, low‑income individuals, and many people with limited education. By eliminating paper boarding passes, Ryanair: -  Discriminates against passengers who cannot use smartphones or apps.  -  Creates a de‑facto barrier to air travel for vulnerable groups. -  Violates principles of equal access to services.  We call on Ryanair to: 1. Reinstate the option to print or receive a paper boarding pass at the airport or via email.   2. Provide clear, low‑tech instructions for checking in without a smartphone.   3. Offer assistance desks staffed by personnel trained to help digitally illiterate travelers.   Air travel should be accessible to everyone, regardless of digital proficiency. Please sign this petition to urge Ryanair to adopt inclusive boarding‑pass options and ensure no passenger is left behind.

We want the Minister to continue the Coonagh/ Knocklasheen Northern distributor road as agreed by the people of Limerick and it’s communities. The Minister is stopping a project that has 20 million euros spent on it. The project is vital to the Northside of Limerick and must proceed. Page 26 of the Programme for Government - Our shared future states that no project that started should be frustrated or delayed. This is exactly what is happening- please sign and ensure democracy is followed and we are heard.

The Anti Conversion Therapy Coalition (ACTC) has been established to drive forward the campaign to completely ban conversion therapy through legislative means both in the Oireachtas and in Stormont. We are actively campaigning to ensure the swift passage of proposed legislation in both jurisdictions. Following on from the work of activists before us, we wish to build on the promises of proposed legislation that has come in the past. We are unequivocal in our position.

Please define and recognise various forms of bullying and introduce penalties for the perpetrators (and in the case of minors) or parents of bullies, for committing the crime

Recyle in-flight waste

While we wholeheartedly appreciate Cork County Councils attempts to respond to the scale of the problem for all of East Cork, we feel we can as a community assist in the solution for our area. There is currently a culvert under the Kileagh Road which becomes overwhelmed from water entering it from the woods on higher ground. The proposal is to hold any overflow of water at the lowest point of the land until levels drop in the stream across the road. As soon as the levels drop, it is proposed to release the water under the road in a direct line to join the Dower River which disappears into the cave systems and does not affect any other area downstream. The landowner has the equipment and expertise to complete this body of work and would only require your approval. This would ensure the safety of the wider community in Mogeely during heavy rainfall periods and not just Gleann Fia estate.

The town is being ruined with unnecessary traffic lights when roundabouts would suffice. The traffic lights are causing huge delays in the town affecting residents and local businesses. This plan to introduce more traffic lights in the town needs to be reviewed immediately

Dear Chief and Lord Justices, Women across Ireland do not feel that they can report sexual assault for fear they will be even more traumatised by the process. The Belfast Rape Case has brought this into sharp focus. The case has sparked a nationwide conversation about how rape and sexual assault cases are conducted. The woman involved was shamed publicly. She didn’t even have her own legal representation. From rape crisis centres, to policing and legal experts, there is widespread agreement that our court system makes it very difficult for victims of sexual assault to report their experiences. It’s vital that people who have been sexually assaulted feel that they can come forward. Otherwise, rapists will never be brought to justice and our whole society is less safe. We, the undersigned, call on you to show leadership in making the changes needed to the judicial systems on the island of Ireland so that victims have faith and trust in the process of seeking justice. It’s time that all involved are treated in a manner in keeping with the basic principles of a decent and just society.

Image Data Source: International Energy Agency The numbers of SUV's and massive vehicles in Ireland is out of control We propose a progressive surcharge on the sale of new non-commercial heavy vehicles, similar to the "Malus Masse" weight tax levied in France with the purpose of cutting road deaths, reducing our energy usage/carbon footprint and freeing up road-space for children and for better public transit. Proposed Surcharge Tiers: • Petrol/Diesel Vehicles: • Threshold: Over 1,700 kg curb weight. • Surcharge: €15 per additional kilogram. • Hybrid (HEV) and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) Vehicles: • Threshold: Over 1,800 kg curb weight. • Surcharge: €10 per additional kilogram. • Fully Electric Vehicles (BEV): • Threshold: Over 1,900 kg curb weight (A higher threshold to account for necessary battery weight). • Surcharge: €5 per additional kilogram (The lowest rate to encourage the switch to electric, still a charge to account for energy/manufacturing footprint).
