Inspired by Greta Thunberg's Fridays For Future Movement, we meet outside the Dáil every Friday from 1pm to 2pm since late 2018 to keep the need for climate justice front and centre.

This was us yesterday. Apparently we're a bit mixed up on the exact number of weeks and haven't quite reached the 8 year mark yet, but we won't quibble over that when there are much bigger things at stake! #ActOnClimate

Silent protest in Grafton St today, preceding a procession to the Dáil and our usual protest. We were marking over 8 years of weekly protests.

Madness. Approving a motorway in a climate crisis. Roads don't reduce traffic, they create it. It's induced demand: build it, they will drive. Meanwhile, public and active transport get sidelined. More emissions. More inactivity. More locked-in carbon. We're pouring concrete on a burning planet.

An appalling proposal is hidden at the end of the Government’s Bill on the airport cap; it would exclude decisions under the legislation from the current obligation on almost all public bodies to consider their climate impact and to be consistent with climate objectives.
Head 12 Exemption from the Act of 2015
Provide that:
Any function or exercise undertaken under this Act shall be exempt from the provisions of section 15 of the Act of 2015.
Explanatory Note
This Head provides that the provisions of section 15 of the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act 2015 do not apply to any functions or exercises undertaken under this Bill.
