Speak up for children's futures and public health! Join Irish Doctors for the Environment, Children's Rights Over Flights and others at our protest.

Wed 18th March, 1pm to 1:30pm
outside the Dáil on Kildare St.

We will be protesting the Government's reckless plans to expand Dublin airport by lifting the cap - entailing way more climate pollution.

Debunking myths that there are *any* routes to limiting aviation climate pollution, which don't involve *substantial decreases* in the volume of planes in the air

"...Trócaire is deeply concerned about these plans to introduce a state-led LNG facility in Ireland, because of its global justice implications. The incoherence of introducing new fossil fuel infrastructure in the midst of a climate emergency cannot be understated. The climate crisis is a deep human rights crisis and a crisis of injustice and inequality and progressing with this facility would further entrench climate injustice in Ireland’s policies..."

This online orientation session is for brand new rebels, rebels who want to act on the climate emergency and what we, in Extinction Rebellion Ireland, can do about it and for those who have begun with XR Ireland and have not yet done this training. It is important as it covers our 3 demands, our Principles and Values, how we are organised with the Self-Organising System (SOS) and how you can get involved.

We are all volunteers and we are all crew.
