		</div><p>A group representing Dublin City businesses has criticised tomorrow&#8217;s planned disruption by climate activists.</p>
<p>Extinction Rebellion&#8217;s exact plans have not yet been released to the public, but it is known that demonstrators are to rally at the Dáil before setting up camps blocking prominent city streets.</p>
<p>Organisers say the objective is to disrupt economic activity via civil disobedience, in a bid to get the message across to the Government that urgent and radical action is needed to tackle the climate crisis.</p>
<p>CEO of Dublin Town Richard Guiney said disrupting businesses, traders and shoppers is not going to make the point.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;What we&#8217;d be saying to people thinking of engaging in the protests is &#8211; yes you&#8217;re right to be concerned about the environment, but there are constructive ways to bring everybody with you,&#8221;</em> he said.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;If people are prevented from getting to their place of work or going about their daily business, it will just create division that&#8217;s unnecessary.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Meanwhile, it is reported in today&#8217;s Sunday Times that Gardaí have set up special operations to monitor the protesters.</p>
<p>Extinction Rebellion Ireland has at least 1,000 members who are prepared to face arrest.</p>
<div data-google-query-id="CPqE15OViOUCFXhlFQgdmQkFwQ">
<p>According to the paper, Gardaí are concerned that number could rise next Friday when the Schools Strike 4 Climate movement, which was started by Greta Thunberg, holds its weekly protest.</p>
<p>Around 10,000 children took part in demonstrations across the country last month.</p>
<p>Extinction Rebellion spokesperson Dr Ciaran O&#8217;Carroll said children are leading the charge on climate action.</p>
