Urgent Request to Halt Deportation of Sami KupiszeskiMinister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration Jim O'Callaghan TD Department of Justice 51 St Stephen's Green Dublin 2 D02 HK52 [15/08/2026] Re: Urgent Request to Halt Deportation of Sami Kupiszeski Dear Minister O'Callaghan, We urge the immediate halt of deportation proceedings against Sami Kupiszeski, a political activist facing removal to Türkiye. His return would expose him to persecution for his anti-imperialist activism in a state with a documented record of torture and systematic suppression of political dissent. Türkiye's Record on Torture and Political Repression The UN Committee against Torture has confirmed that allegations of torture and ill-treatment occur "in a generalized manner, notably in detention centres," and that where prosecutions occur, torture is "frequently classified as other crimes." The Committee has also documented torture and sexual violence against LGBTI+ individuals in police custody. Since 2016, over 160,000 people have been investigated for alleged terrorism offences, with more than 120,000 convicted—including judges, civil servants, teachers, military personnel, and journalists. Counter-terrorism laws are systematically weaponised to silence political dissent. Academics, lawyers, and human rights defenders who voice opposition are dismissed, detained, or banned from travel; over 7,000 academics were expelled, 14 universities were shut down, and many had their passports revoked. The European Commission's 2025 Report confirmed that "the overall human rights situation in Türkiye has deteriorated" and that "serious concerns about the continuous deterioration of democratic standards, rule of law, judicial independence and respect for fundamental rights have not been addressed." Türkiye ranks 159th out of 180 countries in the World Press Freedom Index and has 1,446 non-implemented European Court of Human Rights judgments. Our Demands 1. Immediately halt the deportation of Sami Kupiszeski. To return him would make Ireland complicit in violations of international law and expose him to torture and persecution. 2. Stop deporting political activists to Türkiye and other unsafe countries. Ireland must not act as an agent for repressive states. 3. Stop the weaponisation of asylum policy. Decisions must be based on genuine protection needs and international law—not diplomatic convenience. 4. Violating the Genocide Convention: open an independent inquiry into all dual citizens of the Zionist colony who have served in the Israeli Defense Forces. The 75 IDF soldiers currently enjoying impunity on Irish soil demand accountability for their role in the genocide in Gaza. The lives of political activists, the integrity of our asylum system, and Ireland's reputation as a defender of international law are at stake. We look forward to your immediate action. References 1.

Reintroducing Mac Tíre, Irish Wolf back to Ireland ForestDear Deputy, I am Lai Ching Ng, conservationist and landscape architect from Hong Kong. It’s an urgent call for Irish wolves conservation and its relevance with 2% intact Irish native forest left. Irish extinct native predator, the Eurasian Wolf (Canis lupus lupus) was once widely populated in Ireland , thus it was known as "Wolf Land," Ireland’s native packs were systematically eradicated through deforestation and human activities. Culturally, the species' deep legacy lives on. The Irish language term for wolf is Mac Tíre, meaning "son of the land," and the animal features prominently in Irish mythology and ancient folklore. Yet, the last wild wolf in Ireland is said to have been hunted in 1786 in County Carlow, 300 years after they were believed to have been wiped out in England 100 years after their disappearance from Scotland. Why is wolf important for the native forest ecosystem in Ireland? As the overgrazing and overpopulation of deers and livestocks are over 80% of land today in Ireland , it significantly suppresses the ability for forest resilience itself as young seedlings are constantly eaten by deers and soils are compacted by these artificial activities. Without natural predators, the ecosystem is never balanced and sustainable. Why Wolf is the best predator candidate for introduction? Extremely Low Risk: According to a report by the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research, the risk of a wolf attacking a human is above zero but statistically "far too low to calculate," as wolves are naturally shy, elusive, and prefer to avoid humans. Global Statistics (2002–2020): * Researchers recorded 26 fatal attacks globally over 18 years, with the highest concentration (12) occurring in Turkey. In Europe and North America combined, there were 12 attacks (involving 14 victims), of which only 2 were fatal (both in North America). Primary Contributing Factors: Rabies played a significant role in the majority of incidents (78% of victims were rabid). Other classifications included predatory attacks (67) and provoked or defensive attacks (42). Rare attacks typically happen when natural prey is scarce or wolves become habituated to humans. Risk Reduction Strategies: To minimize risks, the report recommends keeping wolves away from human-associated food sources (like landfills and garbage dumps), properly disposing of farm animal carcasses, and effectively communicating realistic risks to the public to manage fear. There are few key ecological benefits of wolves reintroduction: Keystone Predators: Wolves sit at the top of the food chain as apex predators and play a vital role in maintaining ecosystem health, affecting prey, plants, and landscapes. Regulating Prey Populations: By hunting large herbivores like elk and deer (often targeting older or weaker animals), wolves prevent overgrazing, protect vegetation, and improve the overall health of prey herds. Restoring Ecological Balance: Controlling herbivores allows plants to recover and thrive. This creates a ripple effect, demonstrated in Yellowstone National Park where plant recovery brought back beavers and created new habitats. Controlling Disease: Keeping herd populations at manageable levels helps reduce the crowding that allows illnesses like chronic wasting disease (CWD) to spread. Supporting Other Wildlife: Wolf kills leave behind food scraps that sustain scavengers such as eagles, ravens, and bears. They also manage competitors like coyotes, protecting smaller mammals and birds. Improving Soil and Water Quality: By preventing overgrazing, wolves indirectly reduce soil erosion and water pollution, preserving resources for other species. Promoting Biodiversity: Wolves stop any single species from dominating, which encourages a wider variety of plant and animal life to flourish. Please refer the following articles for full research from Wild Ireland and related experts. All in all, I sincerely hope and believe that introduction of wolves is a key ecological measure to help forest resilience and get back the ecosystem balance before it is too late to restore. 2% of intact forest is still hope for its resilience, the faster we do it the less costs for future biodiversity we need to pay for. Kind regards Lai Ching Ng Daisy14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lai Ching Ng -

Fingal County Council - Defend the Triple Lock, Save Ireland's NeutralityWe are calling on our elected councillors in Fingal County Council to support a motion defending the Triple Lock, as our government is currently planning to pass legislation to dismantle it without a mandate. We specifically request Fingal County Council: 1. Notes the Government's intention to remove the entire UN authorisation requirement (both Security Council and General Assembly routes) from the Triple Lock mechanism, which currently requires UN, Government and Dáil approval before Defence Forces personnel can be deployed on international missions. 2. Notes that polling consistently shows a majority of Irish people support retaining the Triple Lock, with 75% wanting to keep neutrality exactly as it is. 3. Notes that the Triple Lock was cited as a key guarantee of Irish neutrality during both the Nice Treaty (2002) and Lisbon Treaty (2009) referendum campaigns and that removal of the Triple Lock would be a fundamental undermining of Irish neutrality. 4. Opposes any proposals to remove the Triple Lock and calls for a referendum before any changes to Ireland’s neutrality provisions. Ireland must remain a neutral and independent voice for peace.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael McKiernan -
Taoiseach - Step up and act for children now on the climate emergency.Taoiseach - Step up for children and future generations. They need emergency action now. Dear Taoiseach, We are parents, care-givers and grandparents from across Ireland deeply concerned by the escalation of the Climate and Biodiversity Emergency, and what it means for our children and grandchildren. We have been lucky in Ireland to have escaped the level of devastation experienced by our fellow Europeans this summer. But the hot weather we’ve been enjoying here is part of a pattern resulting in thousands and thousands dying across Europe due to the consequences of extreme heat, including infants and young people. Nurseries and schools have had to close, with children fainting and experiencing seizures due to abnormal heat. Irish tourists have had to run for their lives from wildfires. We know our kids face increasing deadly heat, and other extreme weather events, in their lives due to inadequate climate action to date. And experts warn of the increased likelihood of the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Ocean Circulation, which would leave Ireland and our way of life unrecognisable forever. Your government declared the Climate and Biodiversity Emergency in 2019. You stated at the COP in 2022 - “If this generation doesn’t step up urgently, future generations will not forgive us. As leaders, it is our responsibility to drive the transformation necessary”. We need to see an emergency response - guided by best available science, public health expertise and human rights. Instead we’ve been dismayed to see backtracking by your government on its obligations to protect children from climate harms - efforts to disapply our climate law, set up new fossil fuel infrastructure, and prioritize data centre growth over children’s right to grow up in a stable climate. Our kids and grandkids are increasingly aware of and distressed by the harms that have been done to their lives. And we’re distressed and frightened for them. But we know there is so much we can still do to protect children in Ireland and everywhere from the worst of climate harms. And as we are sure you are aware, it is your obligation and the State’s to do so. We call on you as An Taoiseach to meet with parents and young people and listen to their concerns. And we urge you to: • revise all relevant Government policy and plans to enable an emergency response to the climate crisis based on best available science and human rights obligations, including stopping harmful efforts to build new fossil fuel infrastructure via an LNG terminal, expand data centres, and disapply climate obligations in new laws; • hold a televised address, akin to those carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic, to advise the public of the escalation of the climate and biodiversity emergency, how the government will respond, and vitally, reassure children and young people that you will act without delay to protect them from climate harm; • follow the expert guidance of climate, biodiversity and public health experts to rapidly speed up deep reductions in climate pollution across each and every sector, and to plan and prepare for the threats posed to health, life and nature, by increasing risks of deadly heat, extreme weather events, and climate tipping points such as AMOC collapse. We hope you will stand with your fellow parents, and for the sake of children and future generations take the essential action that this worsening emergency demands. Children need you to step up to protect them and future generations, and they need you to do it now.375 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Louise O'Leary
