Business group criticises planned Extinction Rebellion protest

Organisers say the objective is to disrupt economic activity via civil disobedience, in a bid to get the message across to the Government that urgent and radical action is needed to tackle the climate crisis.

A group representing Dublin City businesses has criticised tomorrow's planned disruption by climate activists.

Extinction Rebellion's exact plans have not yet been released to the public, but it is known that demonstrators are to rally at the Dáil before setting up camps blocking prominent city streets.
