The anger of the people of Naas at the prospect of data centres in their town was clear yesterday. Kildare County Councillors need to listen. We already have too many data centres in this country - using our precious energy and water and being a general scourge.

Join XRI for anti-Trump protest this Sat 12th at 1pm outside Hugh Lane Gallery. We'll have XR flags to help you find us and a few extra signs. But bring own sign to be sure of having one. Let's make sure Trump gets the message loud and clear that we reject his LNG, data centres, AI and fascism.

To raise public transport fares by 15% in the middle of a cost of living crisis is a slap in the face to these commuters, who see the hundreds of millions that Government has spent protecting some sectors from inflation costs, yet they are expected to pay out more, every day, every journey.

Our giant letter to the Minister, delivered outside the Dáil, while he recklessly expands aviation climate pollution: We write to urgently remind you there is a worsening climate and and biodiversity emergency that threatens every child's future.....
Dear Minister O'Brien
We write to urgently remind you there is a worsening climate and biodiversity emergency that threatens every child's future.
Protecting kids from the worst of climate harms depends on rapid cuts to fossil fuel pollution. You are obliged to do this to prioritize their welfare.
Instead by pursuing a reckless plan to remove limits to Dublon Airport passenger numbers you are forgetting them. Your bill will lead to more fossil fuel pollution when aviation pollution is already out of control.
Kids need real action to give them the best chance we can, but instead your bill would do them even more harm. 
Kids need you to remember there is a climate emergency and their rights demand it. 
On behalf of the children in our lives.

We reminded him of his obligations to rapidly cut fossil fuel pollution across *every* sector incl aviation. Call darragh.obrien@oireachtas.ie to #KeepTheCap

Big claims, but a weak case presented by the airlines this week on the Dublin Airport passenger cap. EU legal opinion is that the passenger cap is likely lawful. The “Open Skies” argument is untested and unproven. What sounds convincing… isn’t holding up in court.
