Climate activists gather in Co. Offaly

Ireland's first ever "climate camp" is getting underway in Co. Offaly today.

Activists from around the country are gathering in Shannonbridge to highlight the impact of the area's peat-burning power station on the climate.

They want to raise awareness of the fact that peat is the most climate-polluting fossil fuel which is burned here for electricity.

The camp will continue for the next nine days and will promote sustainable living and climate justice.
