The Labour Party in Ireland has condemned what it calls aggressive anti-climate measures being pushed through the Dail. Climate spokesperson Ciarán Ahern TD specifically called out plans to remove the passenger cap at Dublin Airport and proposals for a floating LNG terminal, arguing these moves show the government is ignoring climate and environmental considerations. These developments come as Europe experiences record temperatures. The Dublin Airport passenger cap removal is expected to increase aviation emissions significantly, while the LNG terminal would lock in fossil gas infrastructure for decades. Labour argues both measures undermine Ireland's legally binding climate targets and its commitments under the Paris Agreement.
