148. Children's Rights Over Flights - Louise O'Leary

Louise O'Leary is an activist with the new campaign group, Children's Rights Over Flights. We delve into why she and her comrades are petitioning to keep the current passenger cap at Dublin Airport to 32 million a year instead of increasing it to 40 million. Louise is also a member of Parents For Future Ireland which parents, grandparents and carers are welcome to join. Please make sure to sign the petition to keep the current passenger cap AND the petition from Parents For Future Ireland asking the Taoiseach to act on climate now for children.
