As we reach the mid-way point of COP26 and with the release of the Government’s Climate Action Plan on Thursday marches are taking place in cities cross Ireland today calling for further action to tackle the climate change. But, what more can we be doing? I’m joined now by one of the members of Cop26 Coalition Ireland, the umbrella group of climate activists and trade unions organising the demonstrations.

Ailbhe Smyth Social and Feminist Activist and Mair Kelly Climate Activist, YMCA ambassador and member of the National Youth council of Ireland Young Persons Committee joined Anton on the show this morning.
