TD hits out after climate change activists deflate car tyres in emissions protest

Fine Gael's Neale Richmond: 'I believe in tackling the climate emergency, we absolutely need to do more, but this is not the way to do it.'

A Fine Gael TD is warning the public to be vigilant after a group of climate change activists have claimed responsibility for deflating car tyres in a suburb in south Dublin in protest at the damaging emissions caused by motor vehicles.

Dozens of cars were found with all four tyres flat on Wednesday morning in the Churchtown area with an accompanying note left for the owners.
