A six-day gathering of climate campaigners gets underway in North Kerry today.
Slí Eile is the main group behind what’s being called the first climate camp in Ireland since 2010, on farmland at Saleen Pier near Tarbert.
The umbrella group, Climate Camp Ireland, says the location was chosen to show opposition to the proposed construction of a liquefied natural gas terminal on the Tarbert/Ballylongford landbank.

The camp’s programme of events includes workshops on fossil fuels, fracking and LNG, as well as a céilí, poetry and a forest school.
Organisers say all are welcome to join, with more information at climatecampireland.ie.
