Make Them Hear You.
Go out and tell our story, Let it echo far and wide, Make them hear you. Make them hear you. How Justice was our battle, And how Justice was denied. Make them hear you. Make them hear you. And say to those who blame us, For the way we chose to fight, That sometimes there are battles, That are more than black or white, And I could not put down my sword, When Justice was my right. Make them hear you. Go out and tell our story To your daughters and your sons, Make them hear you. Make them hear you. And tell them, “In our struggle, We were not the only ones”. Make them hear you. Make them hear you. Your sword can be a sermon, Or the power of the pen. Teach every child to raise his voice, And then my brothers, then, Will justice be demanded by ten million riteous men. Make them hear you, When they hear you, I’ll be near you, Again.

Security & Protection Review Announced For Oireachtas Members & Staff Working On Oireachtas Campus
The Garda Commissioner is to undertake a new security and protection review of TDs, senators, their staff and people working on the Oireachtas campus.
The chairs of the respective parliamentary parties and parliamentary groupings in the Oireachtas, and representatives of the staff and media working in Leinster House, will be asked to contribute to the review and will be met with, as part of this process.
This will allow those working in the Oireachtas to give their views on general security and protection, including their work in their constituencies, as well as on the security approach to parliamentary set days, such as Budget Day and the first sitting of Dáil terms.
This review will be concluded by the end of October and full details will be provided to the Minister for Justice Mrs Helen McEntee TD .
Officials have been asked to examine whether existing legislation is sufficient to deal with intimidation centred on our democratic institutions, including consultation with the Attorney General on this matter.
The Commissioner’s review will also feed into other work being carried out under the auspices of the Oireachtas and elsewhere, such as:-
The Task Force on Safe Participation in Political Life.
A review of security announced this week by the Ceann Comhairle.
The potential impact of the new security allowance for members of the Oireachtas, which was introduced earlier this year.
An Garda Síochána constantly monitors the security of elected representatives.
A recent assessment of security for office holders has led to increased protection over recent years and each Garda Division has a Crime Prevention Officer who is qualified and tasked to liaise with and provide advice to elected representatives.
Serious justifiable concerns have arisen in light of the recent incidents involving protests.
Mr Mullins passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, while in the care of staff at St. Vincent’s Hospital, Dublin.
His passing is most deeply regretted and sadly missed by his wife Bríd, his daughter Máirín, his brothers Canon Tadhg (Manchester) and Padraig, extended relatives, neighbours and many friends.
Requiescat in Pace.

EPA Calls For Urgent Action To Improve Ireland’s Household & Commercial Waste Segregation & Recycling Performance.
Over two thirds of wastes in general waste bins could have been placed in the recycling or organic waste bins.
Food waste in commercial general waste bins is 30 per cent and in household general bins is 17%.
Plastics in the general waste bins are also significant for households (17%) and businesses (15%).
The rollout of organic waste bins to all houses, apartments, and commercial sectors needs to accelerate without delay.
he Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has today published the latest National Municipal Waste Characterisation Project. The project results show very little change in Ireland’s household and commercial waste management practices since 2018. Irish businesses and householders are still putting the majority of their waste into the wrong bin. Over two thirds of waste in the general waste bins could have been placed in recycling and organic waste bin.
Municipal Waste Characterisation
Food waste is the most common waste in commercial general waste bins (30%) and household general waste bins (17%). Thousands of households and businesses still do not have an organic waste bin and correct food waste segregation cannot be achieved until this is addressed.
Recyclable materials such as plastics, paper, cardboard and metal account for around 24% of the household general waste bin and 37% of the commercial general waste bin.
Urgent action is needed to improve Ireland’s segregation and recycling performance to achieve municipal recycling rate targets and transition to a circular economy. The waste industry needs to do more by providing organic waste bins to all households and commercial premises and support awareness campaigns to make segregation easier.
Commenting on the results, Mr Micheál Lehane, (Director of the EPA’s Office of Environmental Sustainability), said “The results of the latest municipal waste characterisation are disappointing. Currently businesses and householders are putting recyclables, food waste and packaging waste into our general bins. This is a lost opportunity. Organic waste bins need to be rolled out urgently to businesses and households currently without this service. Implementation of the new commercial waste regulations is needed without delay.”
Access to recycling infrastructure, such as civic amenity sites and bring banks, needs to be made easier for householders to support segregation of special, bulky and hazardous wastes.
The rollout of organic waste bins to houses, apartments, and commercial sectors needs be enforced to ensure waste collectors are providing the same level of service to customers.
Mr Warren Phelan, (Programme Manager of the EPA’s Circular Economy Programme) noted: “Our recycling targets and transition to a circular economy are currently off track. There are significant opportunities to divert recyclable materials from the general waste bin, but householders and the commercial sector need more support from the waste industry to make it easier to segregate their waste correctly. Targeted awareness campaigns on segregation and focused enforcement activities are also needed.”
