Comments

For all the hard work that was put into the court house by the scouts and friends to make a scout den for all of the children not only in tullow but the surrounding areas as well.

There's kids deserve to keep the hall after all the work and money the scouts have spent on it

I believe the Tullow scouts have been treated very poorly by the council in this matter. There was a lot of work put into the courthouse by the group itself and many supporters. The eviction was sudden and permanent. Now it appears that the building will be repaired but the scouts are not welcome back.

The 5th Tullow scout troop have spent large amounts of money to bring their den up to the requirements set out by the council who handed over a not fit for purpose building at the time. Now the council are willing to put funds into this building ( which they should have done in the beginning) Give it back, the scouts showed good will. Now it's up to the council to play their part. Give the building back to a strong community group.

I believe scouts is an invaluable recourse in the greater Tullow area. I have volunteered in Tullow for.many years and would like to see it continue for all children.

To secure tullow scouts den back

Rosie Dempsey (Carlow, 2023-04-12)

I was a member of Tullow Scouts for 10 years, from our first home in the parish centre to the move to the courthouse. I seen all the hard work members done, and the money fundraised to put into the courthouse. For it all to go to waste and be pulled from under the group. Tullow Scouts is an invaluable resource for children and teenagers in the Tullow area, all 3 of my sons where members growing up. They deserve and need their own permanent home.

The scouts deserve this space

I've got children in the Scouts and the leaders put alot of work into the courthouse

Amy Doran (Tullow, 2023-04-12)

#34

The scouts deserve to be in their den! The scouts teach life skills to younger people builds confidence and keeps them off the streets and all done voluntary by people who could be sitting at home! The least the community can do is provide them with a place to carry out the great work they do

Helena Byrne Kiernan (Tullow, 2023-04-12)

#35

My children were members and it was well organised with great leaders.

Jim Healy (Tullow, 2023-04-12)

#36

I believe they are entitled to retain their meeting point! Considering the effort they made financially to revamp the building!!

Fergal Shannon (Tullow, 2023-04-12)

#37

The Scouts are a community based youth group who engage with young people of all ages teaching and mentoring and encourage social interaction and team building skills and it would be a travesty for Scout Group not to have a Den to continue and grow this wonderful voluntary organisation

Helen Tomkins (Tullow, 2023-04-12)

5th Tullow scouts is an important youth led group who need a permanent and secure base to operate from.

It would be love to see the scouts back in their den.. its good for the area. And see the children doing the things they love doing. Bring back tullow scouts den

Liz Quinn (Tullow, 2023-04-12)

I'm signing this petition because it's only right to let the Scouts back in to the building.

Dawn Carter (Tullow, 2023-04-12)

The scouts deserve there den back

Denise Byrne (Tullow, 2023-04-12)

#44

These kids deserve to have the Den back as the scouts have been there for 11 years and have put so much work into this building.

Leeanne Lawler (Tullow, 2023-04-12)

#47

I have been a member of 5th Carlow Tullow scouts for a number of years. This hall is the foundation of memories, and to craft such memories for future members of our group, we must have a stable and flexible den to do so. Without this asset, the scout group will be at an incredible disadvantage and kids will be discouraged to use their independence, initiative, and team working skills. The community and respect shown within the scouting world is such a necessity to raise the next leaders of our world and I strongly believe that the lack of support is diminishing of the work put in by the scouting community to keep the scouting energy high.

Hannah Lynam Pedoe (Enniscorthy, 2023-04-12)

As a group we spent approximately €20,000 renovating the courthouse with no help from the council. The kids, parents, friends and keaders spent hundreds of hours workings on this building to get it ring for the kids. We asked the council multiple times to help us fix the leaking roof which they have dreamed unsafe now. Why was this all done? So the council could throw us out with ní notice at all. You can see now the true reasons they got rid of us.

Tony Maher (Tullow, 2023-04-12)

Give them the hall back don’t be mean

The scouts are great for the community and deserve their hall back

Jack Bradley (Carlow, 2023-04-12)

It is only fair the Scouts get their den back. They are an invaluable resource in the Community and disgraceful that they are being treated like this. Do the right thing and let them back to their den.

Carlow 5th Tullow Scouts have been treated terribly by Carlow co Council. They were evicted from the Courthouse with little notice and no help given to them to secure new premises so that they could keep the group going for the benefit of all the kids who attend.
They should be reimbursed for the money & hardwork put into the courthouse by them or allowed to return when the improvement ls have been done!

Louise Kelly (Rathvilly, 2023-04-12)

#64

I’m singing this because the scout group is an integral part of the community and were told some untruths to be remove from their former den, the tullow court house after sinking more like Han 20k of hard earned money not to mention the free man hours the member gave up getting this building up to scratch

Simon Ronan (Tullow, 2023-04-12)

#65

Kids need activities and facility's to keep them on the right track and out of trouble

Betty Murray (Naas, 2023-04-12)

#67

You have to get facility back or money refunded. You must be compensated for the outlay

Margaret Kirwan (Tullow, 2023-04-12)

I used to be in the Tullow Scouts when I was younger and I am formally from Tullow

Gavin FITZGERALD (Dyffryn Ardudwy, 2023-04-12)

#71

As a volunteer since 2014 with the group I know how hard my fellow leaders have worked within the group to get the building up to scratch, how parents and friends sacrificed time to fundraise for us to maintain the Den. Please reconsider your decision!

Annie Ryan (Tullow, 2023-04-12)

#73

I am signing this because the council waste money year in year out on needless things and leave the likes of the scouts to fend for themselves. The Tullow courthouse when repaired should be given back to the scouts not to move the library just because they want bigger offices pace in a building that was built in the wrong place.

William Roche (Tullow, 2023-04-12)

#75

The scout group put a lot of time and money into the den to keep with regulations set out by council and insurance company. Also great place for training and showing the youth members skill in scouting

Jason Doyle (Carlow, 2023-04-12)

My kids all love scouts and they deserve there own den

The scouts deserve their home back. This is such an important group for young people.

Susan Murray (Carlow, 2023-04-12)

This affects those we care about in the scouting community and seems wholey unjust.

Róisín McIntosh (Carlow, 2023-04-12)

#82

I'm scout leader and there is not more important than having a place to call home for your scout group especially after investing so much time and money into a property.

Sandra O'Rourke (Kilkenny, 2023-04-12)

#83

I feel it’s very important that there is a Scout’s Den for the Children & for all the Leaders to have a place of their own to be able to store all the equipment that goes with being involved in Scouts!!

Ash Buggy (Knockananna, 2023-04-12)

I spent many great years in scouts and saw first hand the hard work that went into doing the den up. Terrible sad that the scouts even have to go through such things to fight for a den that the rightfully deserve

Edel Buggy (Knockananna, 2023-04-12)

I support tullow scouts and tullow scouts need their Den back. Tullow scouts needs to be kept alive.

Dee Comerford (Nass, 2023-04-12)

The scouts are a group for the community, so they should be allowed to stay where they are.

Voluntary groups providing a service for our youth deserve all the support we can give them.

Mairin Byrne (Kildavin, 2023-04-13)

#116

The scouts were a major part of both my girls childhood where they have made friends and gained valuable life long skills from all the volunteers over the years, most still there with the Carlow/Tullow 5th scouts. I seen first hand the work that was put into the courthouse by the group and alot done by volunteers too I think this recent move by the council is just one of pure greed, they should be encouraging groups like the scouts in small towns rather than trying to finish them off, I hope this campaign works and well done again to the tullow scout group volunteers and members.

Michelle Doyle (Tullow, 2023-04-13)

Scouts belong there. They should never have been moved.

Betty Dalton (Bagenalstown, 2023-04-13)

Scouts did their own fundraising to get this building useful with very little help, they should get it back after all the time and work they did

Stuart Bryan (Tullow, 2023-04-13)

#122

Tullow scouts are a group of leaders working and giving there time free of charge for our children to grow and learn and they deserve to have a den to call there own they have already put money into the old court house they deserve to move back in when the roof is finished

Eilish Doran (Tullow, 2023-04-13)

#125

I'm sick of good people being taken advantage of by those who claim to represent them and then do exactly the opposite. If the County Councillors had to go in front of the Scouts and explain their motives and justify their decisions, I'm pretty sure they would find the process intimidating and rightly so. They conveniently forget who elects them and all these Scouts are future voters. They won't forget.

Christopher Donovan (Dublin 11, 2023-04-13)

Shame on the council, taking the use of the building away from the scouts. It is more than just a building, especially to the children and adults who are part of it.

Disgraceful behaviour from the council it's much more difficult for community groups like scouts to get funding in this country compared with sports clubs. Using a trick like this to oust the scouts in hopes of renting it out at a profit is horrendous in this age where people are constantly complaining that kids do things outdoors anymore.

I am a fellow scout leader and know that voluntary work by the bucket load was put into the facility, Carlow Co Council as being unfair and should work with the group rather than against.

I am the Group Leader in 3rd/4th/6th Louth St Oliver's Scout Group Drogheda. Our Group fully supports this petition. Every Scout Group should have a place to call home.

Scouting takes alot of time and resources to organise. A great deal of space needed to store equipment such as tents, cookers, cooking utensils, canoes, kayaks etc. It is not feasible to rent an hour in the community centre and let some store these in volunteers private residences. Scouts need a permanent home to hold weekly meetings and store equipment if the group is to run properly. It is already difficult enough to run a scout group and retain volunteers without adding this headache to the volunteers. The group already raised enough money to pay for rewiring, it seems really unfair to kick them out when they needed help fixing the roof

Scouting is a great organization for youth and adults not into sports or other groups. Without this facility these young people will have no where to meet.

Scouts has been an instrumental part of my life. Great memories of this place and would be an utter shame to see them permanently removed.

I am a Scouter in Cork who is lucky enough to own their own den. Maintenance of our Den takes a huge hunk out of our resources each year. Its not fair to expect a Group to pay for the up keep of a premises that will never be theirs. We are volunteers. I am concerned that our Government uses voluntary organisations to fill in gaps in the social network they are not willing to repair.

June Ward (Cork, 2023-04-13)

The scouts are being treated harshly and deserve their den back. The council have no reason to terminate the tullow scouts tenancy. It's wrong and unethical.
