Taoiseach - Step up and act for children now on the climate emergency.

More and more, Daragh O'Brien is demonstrating how unfit he is for the jobs of Minister for Climate and Minister for Transport. @fiannafailparty.bsky.social

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.

Opinion: The Government is trying to undermine climate laws. President Connolly could stop it

"If they pass into law, the Strategic Gas Reserve Bill & Passenger Capacity Bill would create a dangerous precedent, allowing the Government to dismantle the Climate Act piece by piece when faced with choices that conflict with its legal obligation to decarbonise." www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

⚠️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...

🚲🚶‍♀️🚌 As we're rightly reminded by our Govt, our journeys count in climate emergency. ⚠️ But they seem to have forgotten flying less! www. wri.org/insights/climate-friendly-choices-ranked We know they're busy trying to remove ANY airport limits, so we've taken time to rectify this bizarre omission

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.....

❤️ 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.

We're glad to have co-signed this complaint to @rte.ie . Appalling that our national broadcaster did not address climate change in the Presidential debates. Young people deserved to hear what their next President thought on the issue most shaping their future. www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

Negotiating or trying to cut a deal with physics really is a mug’s game, as our children will find out soon enough. www.rte.ie/news/analysi...

Ireland hopes for a discount for missing EU climate goals

Ireland will miss its EU climate targets on agriculture, transport and buildings and likely face financial penalties, but can it secure concessions?

We agree @darylfeehely.com . Prime Time were emailed by many people about including climate change as a key issue last night. What a message it sends to children and young people that their national broadcaster actively chose to exclude the issue that will most determine their collective futures.

Daryl Feehely@darylfeehely.com · 10mo ago

Not that fox hunting, a trip to Syria etc aren't relevant issues, but it would have been great if they were asked a forward looking Q about climate change & how they will use the Presidency to promote climate action. You know, the massive existential threat to society, that issue. #Áras25 #rtept

We fully agree @caugustenborg.bsky.social . @rte.ie has most especially failed children and young people on this issue. They should know what the next President's views are on the issue which will most shape their collective futures.

Dr. Cara Augustenborg@caugustenborg.bsky.social · 10mo ago

I'm heart broken Ireland's national broadcaster stuck to same old 7 questions tonight on #áras25 presidential debate & avoided the climate question several of us begged them to ask. We learned nothing new of candidates' positions on major global/national challenges. RTE has failed the public.

We'll be having our next online community call - Thurs 6/11 at 8pm. For any parents worried about what's ahead for kids and who want urgent climate action to protect them. Parents for Future Ireland November Community Call Date: 6 nov • 20:00 www.eventbrite.ie/e/parents-fo...

🤨We've emailed the Taoiseach after his shocking comments saying he doesn't think we "can mitigate for climate change". It's the State's duty to protect kids from harm through urgent reduction in pollution. 📨Will you remind him of this too? Take 2 minutes and email taoiseach@taoiseach.gov.ie.

Do you want to hear what the next President will do to support the essential climate action kids are counting on? We do! Join us in emailing primetime@rte.ie to call for climate change to be a key issue in the final debate next Tuesday.
