Improve accessibility ClonlaraWe, the undersigned residents of Clonlara residing on the R463 road 1 km and 2 km from the village of Clonlara, wish to petition for urgent action regarding the safety and accessibility of our community to Clonlara village. We are currently disconnected from our village and community due to the lack of a safe pedestrian route. The R463 is a busy thoroughfare with an existing speed limit of 80 km/h, and despite being within such a short walking distance, there is no footpath connecting our homes to Clonlara village. This situation creates a significant safety hazard and effectively prevents us from accessing essential village services and amenities, including: • The local bus services to Limerick city and Killaloe etc. Despite proximity to Clonlara village there is currently no safe and accessible pedestrian route between the two areas. Residents are forced to walk,unsafe, and vehicle- congested roads, putting lives at risk- particularly children, the elderly and individuals with disabilities. University students who wish to access bus services safely are unable to do so, removing residing at home as an option for Limerick University & technical college students. • The local school. Children from our area cannot walk or cycle to school, contributing to significant traffic congestion on the Clonlara Bridge every morning. Many families, if given the choice, would choose to combat this by walking or cycling thus reducing the longstanding traffic issues experienced by all Clonlara residents every morning. • The local GAA pitches, community centers, and churches. • The new greenway intended to connect Limerick, Clonlara, O'Briensbridge, Castleconnell , Killaloe and Scarriff. We will be unable to access this new amenity without driving to it. This is prohibitive for many elderly who would have to lift and mount bikes to cars to drive a short distance and defeats the purpose of promoting active travel and climate action goals. This lack of safe passage has a negative impact on the local community, its economy, and the environment. We believe that improving accessibility would not only enhance the safety and well-being of residents but also help local businesses, such as the recently closed local shop and the remaining bars and restaurants, by allowing more people to access them on foot. Community accessibility is vital for fostering a sense of belonging because it ensures everyone, regardless of their age, physical or cognitive abilities, can participate fully in community life. When public spaces, services, and events are designed to be accessible, they remove barriers that might otherwise isolate individuals. By making it easier for all community members to navigate their surroundings, communities signal that everyone is a valued member. This inclusive environment not only allows individuals to engage in social, economic, and cultural activities, but it also creates a shared experience of mutual respect and acceptance. Ultimately, true belonging comes from feeling that a community is built for you, and accessibility is the foundation of that feeling. We therefore call upon Clare County Council to take immediate steps to remedy this critical issue. We request that you: 1. Install a dedicated footpath including pedestrian crossings along the R463 from the village of Clonlara as far as Aughboy. Thus creating a safe route for pedestrians, cyclists, and mobility scooter users living along this route. 2. Reduce the speed limit on this stretch of road from 80 km/h to 60 km/h to ensure the safety of all road users, including pedestrians currently crossing in hazardous conditions and vehicles entering and exiting the areas listed. 3. Liaise with Bus Eireann to install official bus stops at Monaskeha / Aughboy to improve accessibility By taking these actions, you will not only address a significant safety concern but also foster a more connected and inclusive community. A footpath and a reduced speed limit will allow residents to safely access their village, supporting local businesses and enhancing the overall well-being of our community. Clare County council spends countless hours and funds promoting health via programs such as Active Travel, Healthy Clare etc. We believe the request to support this initiative falls under the scope of Clare County Councils current mission and goals around community health and could be considered under one of the many funds and schemes designed to support this. We also believe this request falls under Clare County Council’s duty of care around safe accessibility. Additionally this project could be supported under one of the many climate action goals and funds due to the reduction in car travel it will support. The above means that this project could come under one of many remits, increasing the likelihood of available funding to support it. Finally as mentioned it will also contribute to reduced traffic at Clonlara school each morning, which has been a long standing issue for all Clonlara residents and will only get worse with the addition of two new housing estates to Clonlara village. We thank you for your attention to this critical matter. Sincerely, R463 Clonlara residents193 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Kellieann O'Brien -

Save Lucan Village & Taxi RankHi, I am a taxi driver working Lucan rank the last 15 years, alongside with many other drivers. There was 4 spaces in the rank & 2 lanes, which has now been narrowed down to one lane and the taxi rank is no longer there. Reducing this side of the village to one lane will cause chaos for everyone , especially with children going back to school. Also this taxi rank has been ongoing for 15+ years. I have been in contact with a local county councillor and she has arranged to meet with me and other other taxi drivers on this topic later this week to voice our opinions. I am making this petition as I feel like this narrow road will affect all residents and businesses of Lucan due to traffic congestion & it will also have a big impact on our Lucan taxi rank. If the rank is not easy accessible for the public & taxi drivers ,this will result in taxi drivers moving elsewhere and the people of Lucan will be at a loss as well. I would highly appreciate anybody who would like to sign this petition, as I would like to present it to South Dublin county council to try and make a change. Thank you.

Galway City Council-hold illegal AirBnB hosts responsibleDear Galway City Council, As you are aware, the vast majority of AirBnb’s in this city do not have planning permission to become short term lets, and a large majority of them are therefore operating illegally. These illegal Airbnb’s have been illegally converted from long term houses for locals- living working and studying here- into short term rentals for tourists. These illegal short term lets will likely never be converted back into long term housing without your intervention. The law states that renting in rent pressure zones (now nationwide), is, “a material change in the use of the house", and are therefore required to be approved by the local planning authority. Insufficient and unenforced regulation is allowing the illegal proliferation of these short term lets, with only 4% of Airbnbs in Galway City having the necessary planning permission. As you are aware, this housing crisis is crippling families, students, and individuals who desperately need long term housing in Galway City. In the last 12 months alone - rents in Galway have increased by 12.6% - and the average monthly rent in Galway city is now €2,304. People are now living in cars or hostels in order to survive-or they are also being forced to move out of Galway. Having to commute an hour-or more-to work or school and back is not acceptable. Living in a hostel is not acceptable. The situation is dire. We desperately ask you to hold these illegal Airbnb hosts accountable.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carly Mucha

Protect Cherrywood Families from Ticknick Fire SmokeSince August 12, the residents of Cherrywood have been repeatedly exposed to hazardous smoke from fires on Ticknick Lands. Families — including children and older residents — have been forced to breathe unsafe levels of PM2.5 and VOCs, while current monitoring stations located kilometers away do not reflect the true conditions we are forced to live in. Despite keeping windows closed, smoke particles continue to seep indoors, exposing families and children to dangerous air inside their own homes. Public Authorities to date have refused to admit the Public Health Risk or accountability for developing a long-term solution, as this is private land and is a responsibility of the individual owner. We demand urgent action from authorities to stop the fires, protect our health and community, and prevent this from happening again!379 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Angelika Korelc

Make Adrenaline Pens Available Without PrescriptionI am calling on the goverment and the HSE to make adrenaline auto-injectors (e.g. EpiPens) availible over the counter for anyone. I strongly believe that Adrenaline Auto Injectors should be availilible over the counter to anyone at risk of anaphylaxis. Severe allergic reactions can happen suddenly, even in people who have never experienced one before, and immediate access to adrenaline is often the difference between life and death. Requiring a prescription can create dangerous delays, especially during a first-time reaction or in emergencies where a doctor is not immediately availible. EpiPens are safe when used as directed and are the only proven, life-saving treatment for severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). Thousands of children and adults in Ireland live with severe allergies, and hospital admissions for anaphylaxis are rising. By making EpiPens availible without a prescription, the goverment would protect vunerable individuals and prevent avoidable deaths. This change is urgent and could safe countless lives. Stats: • Fatal food induced anaphylaxis most commonluy occurs in the second and third decades of life, often due to delayed use of adrenaline. • While deaths from anaphylaxis are rare, they are estimatyed to occur in about 1 in 2 million people per year in Ireland.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matt . -

Protect Ireland's Dogs: End Puppy Farming and Overbreeding NowDear Minister Heydon, I am writing to you not as a politician or professional campaigner, but as an ordinary Irish citizen who can no longer stay quiet about the suffering of dogs in our country. Across Ireland, dogs are being overbred, neglected, and discarded by puppy farmers and irresponsible breeders. These animals live in silence, often behind closed doors, hidden away from the public eye. They are bred repeatedly with no regard for their physical or emotional wellbeing. When they are no longer profitable, many are dumped or destroyed. Ireland has gained an international reputation as one of the worst countries in Europe for puppy farming. That is something no one should feel proud of. We need stronger protection for our animals and real enforcement of animal welfare laws. The current legislation does not go far enough. As Minister, you have the power to be a voice for the voiceless. I am asking you to take meaningful steps to stop the cycle of cruelty by: • Introducing a strict cap on the number of breeding bitches allowed in any licensed premises • Making welfare training mandatory for all breeders and dog owners • Enforcing regular and unannounced inspections of breeding facilities • Increasing fines and legal consequences for both physical and emotional abuse of animals These are not radical demands. They are the basics of decency and compassion. Dogs do not get to choose the lives they are born into. We must choose better for them. Please take action to protect Ireland’s most vulnerable animals. We are ready to stand behind you if you lead the way. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I hope you will be the Minister who made a real difference for those who cannot speak for themselves. Sincerely, Rochelle Ogden Kinsale Co. cork1,838 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Rochelle Ogden
