P.S. If you didn't see my email yesterday, please do take a minute to email your TDs about the Bill to pull taxpayers' money out of fossil fuel companies , which will be debated in the Dáil tomorrow, Thursday. Trócaire have been leading this campaign and Stop Climate Chaos made it one of its central policy demands. What better way for Ireland to mark Trump's inauguration than for the Dáil to point the way to a carbon free future! Categorised in: Climate Change Energy
