STOP THE BRIDGE STOP TRAFFIC CHAOS Irish Rail plan to close the Level Crossings at Coolmine, Porterstown and Clonsilla, replacing them with a new flyover road bridge which will take traffic through Riverwood Court and cause congestion in surrounding estates WE SAY: YES to the electrification of the Maynooth rail line YES to improved public transport NO to traffic chaos in the Carpenterstown area NO to destroying our environment • The proposed bridge will become a main road and increase traffic congestion. It will make it difficult for all of us to enter and exit our estates, making local car journeys lengthier and more complicated • The proposed road bridge will be 14m high (45ft) and 15m wide (49ft). It will be visually obtrusive, increase noise and air pollution, damage the environment and have a harmful impact on living conditions in the area • The proposed road bridge will destroy green areas that are vital for our mental and physical wellbeing • Closing the level crossings will create dead-ends that encourage crime and antisocial behaviour, impacting rail passengers and residents in affected areas. We are asking Irish Rail for more time, more information and better options for Coolmine Level Crossing Please help by asking everyone in your household to make a submission to Irish Rail objecting to the proposed bridge before the deadline of 7 October by emailing [email protected] You can download our app to help you generate your email submission to Irish Rail using this QR code: For more information on Irish Rail’s plans and a ‘how to’ video to help you use the submission app, please visit the Riverwood Residents Association website at: https://www.riverwoodres.com/proposed-bridge If you need help making a submission, email [email protected] In order to help with our efforts, we are canvasing all Dublin West Members of the Oireachtas and Minister Eamon Ryan in order to seek their assistance and support to ensure we are offered “More Time, More Information and Better Options” from Irish Rail. We encourage you to do the same to facilitate a more collaborative and community centric consultation process.

25Th August 2021 an Taoiseach Mr Micheál Martin, TD Department of the Taoiseach Merrion Square Dublin 2
25th August 2021 An Taoiseach Mr Micheál Martin, TD Department of the Taoiseach Merrion Square Dublin 2 Re: Covid-19: Next phase of ‘Return to Work’ Dear Taoiseach, I refer to the above and my understanding that the Government intends to set out it’s future plan in this regard early next week. In light of the fact that the next meeting of the Stakeholder Group on the National Safety Protocol, under the chairmanship of your department, is currently scheduled post these announcements I feel it appropriate that I set out for your attention some of our principle concerns for your consideration. Vaccinations Notwithstanding the fact that there has been widespread participation in the vaccination programme, we are aware of cohorts of workers who may not be vaccinated. As previously indicated, we agree with the Government’s non- mandatory approach to this programme and we believe there are strong Constitutional, legal and human rights reasons underpinning same. While some workplace conflict can be expected on this subject it is our view that such exigencies should be managed within an overall framework agreement with the employer side. It is in this context that we have initiated discussions with IBEC on the subject and I understand a similar process is ongoing within the joint Public Services structures together with engagement on specific sectoral issues. Current Health and Safety Legislation As you are no doubt aware, the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, through regulation 227(2), explicitly excludes occupational disease, the effect of which is that employers have no reporting obligation to the Health and Safety Authority on the matter who, in turn, have no investigative responsibility in relation to the occurrence of Covid-19 in the workplace.

Written Answers
26 November 2020 Written Answers. The following are questions tabled by Members for written response and the ministerial replies as received on the day from the Departments [unrevised]. Questions Nos. 1 to 7, inclusive, answered orally. 26/11/2020WRA00400Israeli Settlements 26/11/2020WRA005008. Deputy Gino Kenny asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will re-examine the proposed legislation to ban the import of goods from illegal settlements in Palestine in view of recent attacks by the Israeli state there on human rights and the ongoing demolition of homes by the Israeli state; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38339/20] 26/11/2020WRA00600Minister for Foreign Affairs (Deputy Simon Coveney): The demolition by Israeli au- thorities of private property is of grave concern. Demolition and confiscation of humanitarian assets, including education infrastructure, is contrary to Israel’s obligations under international humanitarian law, and in particular the Fourth Geneva Convention. I was deeply dismayed to learn of the demolition by Israeli authorities on 3 November of more than 70 structures, in the community of Humsa Al Bqai’a located in the northern Jordan Valley. I issued a statement on 6 November and Ireland’s Representative Office in Ramallah has visited the site of the demolitions. Ireland, the EU, and the wider humanitarian community are ready to support those impacted and the West Bank Protection Consortium, of which Ireland is a member, is providing emergency shelter and support to affected families. Ireland has a very clear position on Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory. They are illegal under international law and actively undermine the prospects for a Two-State solution.

I remind members that in accordance with Standing Orders, the discussion should be confined to the items constituting the Supplementary Estimates. I invite the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment to make his opening statement. Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Deputy Richard Bruton): I thank the Chairman for accommodating this meeting. I know the committee has had a long day. This is essentially a token Supplementary Estimate to create a new subhead, F12 just transition, under which the €6 million allocated in the budget for the just transition fund will be paid. The early establishment of the subhead will facilitate expenditure from the just transition fund to commence in early 2020. Everyone knows the background to this, which is the recognition that just transition is a core part of the climate action plan.

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.

Green Party Convention 13-14 July
LEADING THE CHANGE 2019 BLACKHALL PLACE GREEN PARTY12 - 15 JULYCONVENTION 13-142019 JULY WELCOME TO STONEYBATTER! FÁILTE GO BÓTHAR NA GCLOCH! Welcome to Dublin Central! It is 1,200 years since the Vikings first stepped ashore from their longboats onto the muddy northern shores of the River Liffey; just down the road from where we’re holding our Convention. Dublin 7 has long been known for cattle-dealing and glass- making, and in recent years has become a creative hub with cultural and food businesses attracted to the area. You’ll be able to savour hand-made ice-cream from Christiano in Sorrento’s chipper, or a flat white from Love Supreme. The Lilliput Press is just around the corner off Arbour Place, and Bí Urban is an amazing studio for social creativity on Manor Street. The National Museum at Collins Barracks is nearby, as are the graves of the 1916 leaders. In 1997 I ran in the General Election here before being elected in 2002 in Dún Laoghaire. Cllr. Neasa Hourigan now represents Cabra and Glasnevin just up the road, and is our candidate for the next General Election. Cllr. Michael Pidgeon’s ward is a stone’s throw away across the river. As a councillor here for the last five years I have focussed on making the city easier to get around, tackling disadvantage, and the housing crisis. Recently the City Council has upgraded older persons’ housing at St. Bricin’s off Arbour Hill to a Passive House standard. Plans for the Liffey Cycle route are in the pipeline, as are proposals to regenerate the nearby Fruit and Vegetable Markets.
