That this Council liaise with relevant anti-racism networks to develop best practice and policies which sends out a strong unequivocal message there is no acceptable level of racism.
That this Council will not make use of the Gateway scheme. Gateway is a work-for-benefits scheme also known as Workfare. Participation on Gateway is not voluntary; it entails 22 months of hard labour for a very small social welfare top-up of €20 that can be all but eroded by tax. It will not enhance the employability of participants as there is no quality training involved and there is a recruitment embargo in place on local authorities. Gateway punishes the unemployed for being unemployed and copper fastens the under-staffing of essential local services

That this Council calls on the Minister to introduce as a matter of priority Mandatory Oxygen Saturation screening with the use of Pulse Oximeters in every Maternity Hospital in the State as part of the general postnatal assessment of babies. These Pulse Oximeters already exist in all Maternity Hospitals for use in difficult Births. Only seven of the twenty Maternity Hospitals in this State use this system, consequently over half of babies born with a heart defect are discharged without a diagnosis and relevant care. This has resulted in death and lifelong health problems which could have been improved with early diagnosis with the use of this simple and quick test.
