Great new climate campaign from Fridays For Future Ireland against plans for 7 new fossil gas plants in Ireland. One of these 1.5°C-breaching plants is to be built in Galway by #EPEnergy owned by Czech company #EPH - otherwise known as the "coal villain of the EU". #KeepItInTheGround

Thanks Not Here Not Anywhere for this great tool, which will be very useful keeping track of the new gas and data centre projects currently going in for planning around the country.

Gluaiseacht have also submitted our objection to proposed new 299MW Gas power plant for Derryfrench, Tynagh, Galway. "The obvious solution to prevent greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is to stop burning them" gluaiseacht.ie/content/gluais…

Is this Not Corrib Gas Giveaway Continuation,whereby Private Corporations=Fossil Fuel company Renewable Subsidiaries will be Given License to Control Irish Future Energy Needs + Profits From Public Natural Resources=Our Wind 😕 Wake Up People ! Richard Boyd Barrett Gluaiseacht

“Big companies with the help of governments are driving us towards a climate catastrophe… The fossil fuel industry is exploiting the war in Ukraine to push the case for an LNG terminal.” #ClimateCampIreland in The Irish Times. irishtimes.com/ireland/2022/0…

Dr @laurajkehoe, Environmental Scientist is at #ClimateCampIreland to stop #ShannonLNG. “Scientists are ripping our hair out. Politicians listen, nod & smile, then everything carries on as normal. Last year the govt promised to cut emissions by 4.8% but emissions went up by 5%.”

John McElligott of SafetyBeforeLNG at #ClimateCampIreland on how we know for certain the gas imported via #ShannonLNG would be from #fracking. See full evidence: bit.ly/3oT4Q49 Micheál Martin Leo Varadkar @anbordpleanala RTÉ News The Irish Times Business Post

“We are fighting for our lives” says Ray Kemble, ex-gas worker from Pennsylvania, whose well water was poisoned by #fracking in the area from where gas for #ShannonLNG would come. In this clip he describes the public health disaster in his community, incl a surge in cancer cases.

1/4 'Frack Off LNG!' Mass trespass by 150 #climate activists of #Shannon LNG #fracked gas terminal site a 'show of strength and a warning' to New Fortress Energy Energy & Irish govt that this climate-wrecking project will be fiercely resisted. Press release: bit.ly/3QaGIWK

Thank you all at #ClimateCampIreland for leaving the field spotless after the camp finished yesterday. You were all amazing.

Today we joined 30 organisations in calling on Leo Varadkar Simon Coveney and Eamon Ryan to leave the climate-wrecking #EnergyCharterTreaty: comhlamh.org/blog/the-comhl… Trócaire Oxfam Ireland ActionAid Ireland Financial Justice Ireland @UpliftIRL Not Here Not Anywhere Slí Eile Gluaiseacht Communities Against the Injustice of Mining

Lovely weekend spent in North Leitrim organising for Climate Camp 2023, planned for the days leading up to Sunday 13th August. Great to meet local campaigners who have been so successful in their campaigns on fracking, mining and forestry among other things.More details to follow

Come join the protest against Data Centre expansion on 21st May @ 2pm outside Amazon HQ, Burlington Rd, Dublin 4. Vampire theme fancy dress encouraged, to represent the insatiable corporations that will continue feeding and growing on Ireland's energy, if not stopped.

‘Trees for climate, not for profit’. 🌲🌳🌲 Today Save Leitrim & climate activists from across Ireland pulled 100s of Sitka spruce saplings from Coillte peatland. Straw Boys were among 150 on the direct action targeting industrial conifer plantations & demanding policy change.

Message from #ClimateCampIreland was clear. Communities are organising to challenge system that threaten hopes for a liveable future.Whether it’s mining,fracked gas,non native forestry or data centres, people will resist. We have no other choice. #CommunitiesNotShareholders

As Ryanair drops its carbon offset option on its flights due to a lack of uptake, it's important to remember that we can't simply 'buy' our way out of this crisis. irishtimes.com/environment/20…
