A Donegal schoolboy is set to hold a school climate strike outside the Donegal County Council building in Lifford next month.
Conal O’Boyle, 16, will lead the event on March 15th in an effort to highlight the frustration and discontent of school children at the governments handling of climate action in Ireland.
Speaking to Donegal Daily, O’Boyle said: “It has become clear to me that the only ‘climate action’ being taken by the government is a media spin, in which Minister for Communications, Climate Action and the Environment, Richard Bruton is trying to sell the fact that Ireland are becoming world leaders in climate action.
“Although his blatant lies are being believed by the ignorant, they are not being believed by the children who wholeheartedly believe that planet Earth is being destroyed before their very eyes by governments and corporations who only care about money.
“We have had enough, and on March 15th, we, the children of Donegal, are refusing to let this shameful damage go unnoticed.”
If you would like to receive any further information on the protest or any other matter related to climate action, don’t hesitate to contact Conal O’Boyle.
