The Irish Academy of Fine Arts, at the GPOThis is the proposal to establish an Irish Academy of Fine arts, and house it in the GPO on O'Connell Street, in Dublin. This is to be third level institution that will offer proper training to artists, focussing on basic transferrable skills, original thought, and the principles of beauty. Similar academies in other other cities in Europe, such as The Royal Academy in London, the Ecole des Boaux Arts in Paris, the Repin Academy in St. Peterburg, the Royal Academy in Stockholm, are landmark institutions in landmark buildings, of which those cities are rightfully proud. We have a unique opportunity to establish one of our own. Why do we need an Academy? In Ireland, the current standard of Fine Art education is so low that it is an ongoing fraud against young people, and against society at large. Students of Fine Art typically graduate with no skills, very little professional practice acumen, and maybe most damaging of all, an absurdly skewed view of what art actually is. Over the last three generations, art education has devolved from being a process of training into being a process of indoctrination, indoctrination into the regressive ethos of contemporary art that champions skill-lessness, self indulgence and the wanton consumption of resources. The current model of art education is irretrievably broken and we need a new one. An Academy of Fine arts would give us that. An Academy could be established with a relatively small initial investment, that would pay itself off many, many times over for generations to come. It would bring life and colour to O'Connell Street. It would be a uniquely Irish institution, enriching and strengthening our culture on behalf of everyone who lives in Ireland.429 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Alan Clarke -

Health Not Handcuffs: Decriminalise Drug Use NowDear Taoiseach, I am writing to urge you to take urgent action on drug policy reform by implementing drug decriminalisation in Ireland. Criminalisation harms individuals, families, and communities — it pushes people away from the help they need and traps them in cycles of harm. The 2024 Citizens’ Assembly recommended decriminalisation as a humane, evidence-based solution. Countries like Portugal have shown this approach reduces overdoses, infections, and crime, while saving public resources. We ask that you prioritise health over punishment by ending the criminalisation of drug possession, investing in health and social supports, and listening to the voices of those most affected. Ireland cannot afford to wait any longer. Lives depend on it. Yours sincerely, UISCE National Advocacy Service for People Who Use Drugs182 of 200 SignaturesCreated by UISCE Advocacy -

Deportation Amnesty for Children in the Irish School System for a year or more.We, the undersigned, call on the Minister for Justice - Jim O'Callaghan, and the Government of Ireland to immediately implement a deportation amnesty for families with children who have been enrolled in the Irish school system for a year or more. These are children who have formed roots in Irish society — who speak English or Irish, attend local schools, play with local children, and in many cases know no other home. Deporting these children and their families, after a year or more of education in Ireland, represents a profound breach of our national and international obligations to protect the rights and welfare of children. Our Demand: We urge the Government to grant an immediate deportation amnesty to all families whose children have been in the Irish education system for a year or more. These children have demonstrated social integration, educational progress, and community connection. Removing them now not only disrupts their lives, but also undermines Ireland’s commitment to human rights and child protection. Supporting Grounds: 1. The Best Interests of the Child (Article 3, UN Convention on the Rights of the Child) As a signatory to the UNCRC, Ireland is obligated to treat the best interests of the child as a primary consideration in all actions concerning children. Deporting children who are integrated into the school system runs counter to this duty. 2. Right to Education (Article 42A of the Irish Constitution and Article 28 of the UNCRC) Education is not just a right, but a stabilising and formative influence in a child's life. After a year or more in Irish schools, children have built an educational foundation that must be protected — not interrupted by sudden and traumatic deportation. 3. Non-Penalisation of Children for System Failures Many families affected by deportation have spent years navigating Ireland’s asylum system. It is wholly unjust to punish children for administrative delays, poor communication, or legal failings. These are systemic issues, not moral or legal failings of the children. 4. Protection from Harm (Children First Act 2015) Ireland’s child protection laws oblige the State to safeguard children from harm. Deportation after a year or more in school — particularly when done without proper planning or support — constitutes emotional and psychological harm. 5. Respect for Family and Private Life (Article 8, European Convention on Human Rights) After a year or more in Ireland, many families have formed community bonds and social ties. Deportation in such cases is not simply an administrative act; it severs relationships and disrupts deeply embedded lives. In addition, we urge the Government to cease deportations of children during the school term. Where deportations are to occur (only of children who have been in the Irish education system for less than a year), they should take place during school holidays to avoid unnecessary trauma to their children and the wider school community and allow children to finish their academic term with dignity and closure. We demand: 1. A deportation amnesty for families whose children have been in the Irish school system for a year or more. 2. Repatriation of children, and their families who have been recently deported who have been in the Irish education system for over a year, some of them from upwards of three years. 3. A commitment to uphold Ireland’s legal and moral obligations to protect children from harm and displacement. 4. A moratorium on term-time deportations of school-age children, with guidelines ensuring that educational disruption is minimised. 5. A clear policy framework that ensures no child is penalised for the systemic failures of the asylum and immigration process. Numerous European studies show that immigration-related detention and frequent relocations lead to toxic stress, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and impaired cognitive development in children. Repeated school disruptions further strip away essential protective environments, contravening the UNCRC, EU Charter, and ECHR requirements to prioritise the best interests of the child . Give children security. End fear. Grant this amnesty.2,098 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Rachel Flynn -

Save our Lollypop Lady in GoreyJust a quick note to try save Gorey’s Lollypop Lady. Phil has been doing the job for the last 2 years and loves it but because she will turn 70 in August Wexford County Council are terminating her contract stating it national policy. Both parents and the school are disappointed with this decision and they have waits so long to get the position filled. Phil has a great rapport with the children, Phil is fit and healthy and will miss the job terribly if it is taken away from her. When Phil spoke to Joe Duffy another Lollypop lady came in air and explained that she is 71 and doing the job under Fingal Rathdowney CC. All we want is Phil not to loose her job and if that means a health check each year that’s no problem. Thank you for taking the time to read our petition.639 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Suzanne O Leary -
