Make Lugnaquilla our next National ParkMinister for Nature, Heritage & Biodiversity Christopher O'Sullivan, You said a goal of yours is to significantly expand the number of national parks and nature reserves owned by the State. The sale of the land around and including Lugnaquilla, Leinster's highest peak, is the perfect opportunity. Please engage with the vendors and secure this area for NPWS and the Irish people before it goes to public auction and we potentially lose more of our precious heritage and unique habitats to foreign investment or private wealth.248 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Leah G. -

Enact a Generational Smoking Ban in IrelandTHE UK PARLIAMENT has approved legislation that will ban anyone born after 2008 from ever legally buying tobacco. When the bill is written into law next week, people born on or after 1 January 2009 will be prohibited from purchasing tobacco products. The UK is not the first country to introduce such a ban, and it would be good for Ireland to follow suit. Ireland can stop the next generation from becoming addicted to tobacco and save billions in healthcare.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alex Barton -

EVERYONE DESERVES THE CHANCE TO LEARN TO SWIM: Restore Private Lessons at Mullingar Swimming PoolWe, the undersigned, are parents, guardians, and adult learners who use Mullingar Swimming Pool and are deeply concerned about the recently announced policy prohibiting private swimming lessons during public sessions, due to come into effect on 1st May 2026. This decision will have a significant and negative impact on many members of our community. Private one-to-one and small ratio swimming lessons play a vital role for: • Children who struggle in group lesson settings • Children with additional needs or disabilities who require tailored instruction • Individuals who need extra support to build water confidence and safety skills • Adults who are learning to swim, many of whom rely on private lessons due to anxiety, past experiences, or the need for a more personalised pace For many of these users, private instruction is not a luxury—it is the only effective and accessible way they can safely learn to swim. We find it difficult to reconcile this decision with the stated goal of providing a “safe, fair, and well-managed environment for all pool users.” In reality, structured one-to-one or small-ratio lessons delivered by qualified instructors are among the safest and most controlled uses of the facility. It is clear that there is a lack of sufficient availability within the pool's own lesson programmes. Many classes are oversubscribed, leaving families and adult learners without access and driving demand for private lessons. In addition, limited time and availability within these programmes— particularly for children with additional needs— means that many are not adequately supported in a group setting. While alternative offerings such as the swim ability programme and sensory sessions are available, these appear to be underutilised and do not meet the broader demand or replace the flexibility and effectiveness of private instruction for many users. The parent and toddler sessions were also forced to discontinue in July, despite the programme’s success and delivery by a highly experienced instructor. This has already left many families with young children under four years old without access to appropriate lessons in the pool. Although an alternative offering for this cohort was indicated, no such replacement has materialised. It now appears that yet another group of children is being overlooked. There is no indication that these private lessons have caused any disadvantage to other pool users. In many cases, they have taken place without overcrowding or disruption. As such, a complete ban appears disproportionate. We also wish to express our strong concern and frustration at the extremely short notice given for this change. With less than 10 days’ notice before implementation on 1st May, families and adult learners have been left with little time to adjust. Many have only recently built trust with instructors and developed confidence in the water, and this abrupt change risks undoing important progress and will discourage them from using the pool altogether.670 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Margaret Costello -

Justice for Endometriosis Patients: Launch a National Inquiry in IrelandDear Minister, I am writing to urge you to take immediate action to address the ongoing failures in endometriosis care in Ireland. For decades, patients have faced delayed diagnosis, lack of access to specialist care, inadequate treatment pathways, and, in many cases, lasting harm. Despite the publication of a national framework, critical gaps remain in both resourcing and implementation. Patients are still: • waiting years — often decades — for diagnosis and specialist referral • navigating a system that does not consistently uphold informed consent • forced to self-fund essential care, including travel under schemes such as ESAIS • left without access to multidisciplinary, trauma-informed support This is not sustainable, and it is not acceptable. I am calling on you to: • Establish a National Inquiry into endometriosis care in Ireland • Ensure the delivery of fully resourced specialist centres • Remove financial barriers to care, including upfront costs associated with treatment abroad • Introduce clear accountability mechanisms within the healthcare system • Recognise the impact of medical misogyny and implement meaningful reforms • Guarantee access to fertility preservation and specialist reproductive care • Embed patient voices in all decision-making processes Endometriosis is a complex, life-altering condition that affects thousands of people across Ireland. Patients deserve timely, appropriate, and compassionate care. An inquiry is now necessary to understand the full extent of systemic failures and to ensure that meaningful, lasting change is delivered. I urge you to act. Sincerely, Doireann Barrett25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Doireann Barrett -
Save the 6.50am train & fund a bus service for Athenryhttps://cdn.uplift.ie/assets/uploads/2025/07/MyUplift-banner-politician-SVG-1-scaled.png Following the loss of the privately-operated bus service between Athenry and Galway in September 2024, the people of Athenry were promised a new PSO bus service to Galway. Over 18 months later no progress has been made, and the NTA have stated there is no Government funding in place to implement a new service. Furthermore, Iarnród Éireann have stated that no funding is in place to maintain the 6.50am train from Athenry to Galway beyond August of this year. Bus and rail services are critical for people who have work, education and other commitments in Galway City and the lack of services at peak times is having a detrimental impact on commuters. This is unacceptable. We, the people of Athenry, demand funding for these essential services: 1. The continuation of the 6.50am train service beyond August 2. Implementation of the promised bus service between Athenry and Galway City.1,069 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Louis O'Hara

Make PMDD a Women’s Health Priority - Education, Recognition, Treatment1. Add PMDD to the SPHE curriculum so every school student learns the symptoms, the impact, and the routes to diagnosis and treatment. 2. Recognise the menstrual cycle as a key indicator of health, especially in women’s mental health, and ensure it is taken seriously across healthcare and public education. This should be done through public health awareness campaigns led by the HSE. 3. Make PMDD a priority for the Women’s Health Taskforce. 4. Create a national PMDD care framework with clear standards for diagnosis, referral, treatment and support - similar to the 2025 Framework on Endometriosis 5. Train all relevant healthcare professionals to recognise and support PMDD properly232 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Shauna Halpin

End the Energy Crises: Support the Earth Day Motionhttps://cdn.uplift.ie/assets/uploads/2025/07/MyUplift-banner-politician-SVG-1-scaled.png Wednesday 22 April is Earth Day, a day where people everywhere are called to defend our shared home. The ongoing crisis in the Middle East shows that fossil fuels are expensive, dirty, and drive conflict across the globe. To mark Earth Day, the Green Party is bringing a motion to the Dáil on the climate and biodiversity emergency. The motion will have four central asks of the Government: • Re-commit to its 2030 climate targets. • Cease legislative efforts to undermine the critical Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act. • Implement the recommendations of the Independent Advisory Committee on Nature Restoration, adequately fund Ireland’s Nature Restoration Plan. • Protect vulnerable households from the ongoing fossil fuel price crisis through new targeted supports and safeguards, by speeding up access to home energy upgrades, and by ensuring that Ireland develops its own secure and clean renewable energy. I want to call on all TDs in the Dáil to support this motion and to put real climate action back on the political agenda. If you have signed the petition, you can email it directly to your TDs asking them to vote for the motion using this link: https://action.uplift.ie/campaigns/take-action-this-earth-day On Wednesday the 22nd of April we will be gathering outside of Leinster House at 5.30pm to call on all TDs to support this motion. Please join us there!685 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Roderic O'Gorman

STOP THE SILENCING OF MANDATE MEMBERS—REINSTATE THE SUSPENDED MANDATE FIVEAN INJURY TO ONE IS THE CONCERN OF ALL Stand with the Suspended Five. Stand for a Transparent Mandate. On 22nd March 2026, the Mandate National Executive Council (NEC) took the unprecedented step of suspending five union members — not for misconduct, not for rule-breaking, but for asking questions and engaging with social media posts. No investigation. No outcome. No guilt. Just an illegal penalty that ensures we cannot run for election this year. The five suspended members are: • Lorna Langan • Brenda Histon • Sarah Byrne • Helen O’Keeffe • Mark Hayes Lorna and Brenda had been raising legitimate, documented concerns about union finances, senior staff salaries, and the use of NDAs. Helen, and Mark committed no greater act than liking or sharing a Facebook post. Sarah hasn’t even been told what her offense was. This suspension was procedurally defective, timed to block participation in the upcoming Biennial Delegate Conference (BDC) and NEC elections, and represents a direct attack on the democratic rights of every member. A MESSAGE OF SUPPORT FROM OUR FELLOW MEMBERS We would like to thank the dozens of members and activists from Mandate who have reached out offering their support. They have asked us to include the following: “If Mandate continues to penalise our trusted elected representatives and long-serving activists for their endeavours to oversee the spending of our money, we will be left with no alternative but to join another trade union. This is not an idle threat — it is a promise. We cannot and will not remain members of a union that treats our volunteers this way.”290 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Lorna Langan
