People of Ireland! #YourJourneyCounts Except of course if you’re this guy! Our Minister for Transport & Climate chose to FLY to Kerry this week. The most recklessly polluting journey he could possibly choose. Even as Europe burns.

Except of course if you’re this guy! 

Our Minister for Transport & Climate chose to FLY to Kerry this week.

The most recklessly polluting journey he could possibly choose. Even as Europe burns.

Our Dept of Transport tells us:
‘Every sustainable journey helps reduce Ireland’s transport emissions.’

⚠️Even if you're not interested in the Dublin Airport passenger cap as an issue, there are many alarming things in the Heads of Bill drafted to remove it, that should be of concern to a great many people in Ireland. We break it down in a LinkedIn post here ⬇️: www.linkedin.com/posts/childr...

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.

❤️ Thanks Art - yes we did. ( ⬇️ letter in Monday's Irish Times) We hand-delivered a letter, reminding our children's Minister for Climate that there is a worsening climate emergency threatening the future for every child.
Sir, – I see reports on social media that a group of mothers from North Dublin hand-delivered a giant letter to Minister for Transport Darragh O’Brien during the week calling on him not to remove the passenger cap at Dublin. The group, Children’s Rights Over Flights, is concerned about the effects increased flights will have on their children’s health.

None of the mainstream media picked up the story, and I haven’t heard any response from the Minister.

What I have heard all week is people saying that the hot weather we’re experiencing is due to climate change caused by fossil fuels. And that it is going to get hotter.

It is surely blatantly obvious that rather than scrapping the cap at Dublin Airport, the Minister should be looking for ways to reduce the number of flights. – Yours, etc,
