  • Don't Tax Our Health Choices!
    DON’T TAX OUR HEALTH CHOICES! From March 1st 2019 the Government will be applying VAT at 23% to all Vitamin, Probiotic & Food Supplements. These supplements have been VAT free for the last 40 years! A2 POSTER CODE: VAT03 A4 POSTER CODE: VAT04 +23% Available from Wholefoods VAT HEALTH IS NOT A LUXURY! SIGN THE PETITION TODAY! @stopthisvat www.stopthisvat.ie What is happening: The Revenue Commissioners have decided that on March 1st 2019, 23% VAT will be applied to all health food supplements. This includes Vitamins, Probiotics and Fish Oil. What does this mean? On March 1st 2019, retailers must apply 23% VAT to all health food supplements, resulting in a 23% price increase for consumers. Such a sudden and radical increase in taxation will put a huge strain on consumers and cause many to have to reconsider their approach towards managing their health. This is bound to seriously damage the local Irish businesses that are the cornerstone of the industry sector, particularly if consumers turn to the international Internet to try and obtain a better priced product. What can I do: • Sign the petition (online and in-store) which can be found at www.stopthisvat.ie. • Additional petition hardcopies are available from Wholefoods Wholesale (product code: VAT02). Wholefoods drivers will happily take completed petitions back from you. Please ensure that all petitions are returned to Wholefoods by February 18th. • Actively encourage customers to sign the petition and highlight what VAT will mean for their purchases. • Email or write to your local minister or TD. Sample text can be found on page 3 of this document.

  • 2Declaration European Call for Democracy In
    1 DECLARATION: European Call for Democracy in Catalonia 20th of December 2017 We, members of Parliaments in European countries, express our deepest concern regarding the current situation in Catalonia. In light of the dismissal of the democratically elected Catalan government and the later imprisonment of ministers and leaders of civil society organizations, we call on the Spanish government to cease in this excessive use of force. Furthermore, we call on the Spanish government and on the international society to ensure the upcoming election for the regional Parliament in Catalonia be held in a democratic manner free from undue interference from the Spanish government. We express our wish that the imprisoned minister and leaders of civil society organizations be released and we urge the Spanish government to avoid further use of force and engage in political dialogue with the regional government elected by the Catalans. Signed by members of Parliaments in European countries Aaja Chemnitz, Denmark Caral Ni Chuilin, Northern Ireland Aengus Ó Snodaigh, Ireland Carol Monaghan Alex Maskey, Northern Ireland Carol Nolan, Ireland Andres Ammas, Estonia Cathal Boylan, Northern Ireland Angus McNeil, Skotland Catherine Kelly, Northern Ireland Artur Talvik, Estonia Chris Hazzard, Ireland Barry McElduff, Ireland Christian Juhl, Denmark Bodil Valero, Sweden Colm Gildernew, Northern Ireland Brian Stanley, Ireland Conor Murphy, Northern Ireland Caoimghín Ó Caoláin, Ireland David Cullinane, Ireland Caoimhe Archibald, Northern Ireland Declan Kearney, Northern
