Extinction Rebellion activists have held a protest outside Dáil Éireann calling on the Government not to backtrack on its promise to ban the importation of fracked gas.

The environmental activist group teamed up with Love Leitrim and Safety Before LNG campaigners to create a socially distant visual performance outside the gates of Leinster House in Dublin to highlight that the Government’s proposed climate legislation does not halt liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports.
