Waiting to see what the Irish government's response to this or will they just sit back and hope it all blows over?

Petition has reached over 1000 signatures. With Elon Musk's only response to start charging people for using Grok to produce images, the government need to take real and meaningful action and Ban X

I've signed this petition calling for the government to shut down X for producing & sharing sexual abuse images. Will you do the same?
I've signed this petition calling for the government to stop X allowing their chatbot Grok to ‘digitally undress’ women and share sexualised and illegal photos of children. Will you sign too?

we regularly send press releases and requests for airtime to media outlets but unfortunately it's out of our control if they respond, share our story or have us on. Anyways feel free to set up a petition or campaign over on uplift.ie and we'll do our best to support 🤝

Thanks for the tag and highlighting the work we have been doing on this since 2020. We did push the topic over the last few years, including an email tool set up and shared at the end of 2024 and we have spoken about dodgy trade deals including Mercosur and CETA in 2025.

The fossil fuel industry’s “energy security” argument is dangerous, misleading and fundamentally flawed. Ireland should not be building new fossil fuel infrastructure. My piece in today’s Irish Times. #climate #climateobstruction #climatejustice #fossilfuels

''at a time when Ireland is failing to meet its legally binding climate targets establishing a new strategic dependence on US fossil fuels will decrease – rather than increase – reliability, affordability and sustainability of Ireland’s future energy systems.''

Image of a petition stating: Provide permanent safe universal access to Clongriffin Dart from Baldoyle. Our aim of this petition is to go to the Minister For Transport to ask for his support in 2 phases; 1) to have the structure taken over by either Irish Rail or CIE to ensure that the area will be safe and accessible for all while we wait for a permanent structure (to have lifts changed to secure lifts similar as to what is inside the train station, better lighting, better CCTV etc), and most importantly 2) to ensure that the temporary structure is replaced within the 3 year timeframe and not being pushed back further until the end of the development as a whole which could go on another 5-10+ years.

why then are the Government and Sinn Féin so determined to support this barbaric, outdated and colonial bloodsport, that has little to no real support in any part of the country?

In this discussion, the politicians that support fox hunting tell us again and again that their support for it is all because of farmers (while the same government seems ready to sign us up to the Mercosur trade deal, hated by farmers) but offer us no proof.

I suspect many sheep farmers might prefer a fox crossing their land than a pack of 50 out-of-control fox hounds and a horde of riders on horseback. But I’m happy to be proven wrong.
December 16, 2025 at 10:13 AM

The fox hunting lobby and the politicians that support them say they are performing pest control for sheep farmers but I don’t think anybody believes that getting a pack of 50 dogs and 50 people on horseback to chase a single fox to exhaustion is a reasonable or efficient form of pest control.

Another aspect of fox hunts and rural areas is that there’s an open antagonism between landowners and the hunts who cross their land, trample crops, worry livestock, and damage fences and ditches.
