Geraldine Exton, Chairperson of Extinction Rebellion Limerick Rebellion said,  “Our planet is burning. Extreme heatwaves, major storms, consistent flooding, and failed crops are spreading across our planet. Species are hurtling towards extinction, and we have a role to play to stop this from happening. As our teenagers and young people have led the way, we in Limerick feel it’s time to stand up and do what we can to send out the message that enough is enough. Please join us at one of our many upcoming events to learn more about how you can do your bit to help”
