Speak with your Feet

The Limerick against Pollution protest will be starting at City Hall.

The decision came as a shock to many with citizens, businesses and politicians alike, enraged at The EPA granting Irish Cement permission to ditch fossil fuels for burning tires and waste.   

Over 4,500 objections were made against the EPA as many fears for their safety, particularly for those areas closest to the plant which includes four schools and a public park.  

The EPA said it was, “satisfied that the emissions from the installation, when operated in accordance with the conditions of the proposed license will meet all required environmental protection standards and will not endanger human health or harm the environment in the vicinity … or over a wider area”

Although the EPA insists all operations are safe, the people of Limerick are not buying it and the turn out for the protest is expected to be high. On the same day and at the same event, Limerick Against Pollution is also hosting the March Our Lives’ protest.

The team at Speak With Your Feet has said “Please come and support with 10 friends. And if those 10 friends can bring 10 friends the impact will be much greater. All are welcome and encouraged to come. Join us in a peaceful protest and speak with your feet in support of Limerick against Pollution. We have one final chance to make an impact so let’s get Limerick together and do this!”

Please register for the event and invite your friends here.
