Gardaí have warned secondary school students that a planned climate protest in Dublin city centre tomorrow "could cause a crush" if it goes ahead. Up to 1,000 teenagers are expected to march from College Green to Leinster House demanding more action on environmental issues. However, the organisers have been told the route is too dangerous and that teachers could face criminal proceedings if the march gets out of hand. The group, FridaysForFuture, had contacted gardaí about their climate strike demonstration asking for assistance. Liam Herrick from the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, is concerned about the Garda approach, and said the protest should be allowed to go ahead.
