"textContent": "Campaign group Children’s Rights Over Flights is outraged that the cabinet plans to approve legislation today that would prevent any limits to passenger numbers at Dublin Airport, even as the State-declared climate emergency worsens. The group says it is reckless and irresponsible to abolish the ‘passenger cap’, given the already record levels of aviation fossil fuel pollution being produced, and the recent admission that the State is hugely off track on meeting 2030 emissions reductions targets. They argue it constitutes a betrayal of obligations to protect the rights and welfare of children and future generations, because it wilfully enables masses more aviation pollution to be produced, when rapid and effective emissions reductions are essential to limit climate harms.",
