LAWLESS JOINS CLIMATE PROTESTORS IN NAAS

James Lawless joined climate strike and extinction rebellion protesters at Naas town hall yesterday.

 James said, “Many of them were children on Schoolstrike. I discussed with them the importance of using and investing in public transport, moving to renewable fuels and properly managing our scarce resources. Also “Green Friday” should see us shop local and source produce as close to home as possible. Groups like these make a difference and continue to send a message to politicians that we must continually do more ourselves and bring others with us on this critical journey.”
