10th April 2026

1. Zero Waste Alliance Ireland supports the right to peaceful protest.
2. A shift away from fossil fuel dependancy is urgently needed.
3. Without a reliable and viable alternative to petrol and diesel, another crisis is inevitable.
4. The rollercoaster price of oil is wreaking havoc on the livelihoods of people across the world including Ireland.
5. War causes instability in trade networks, which has direct impacts on workers and families.
6. Ceasefire and sustained peace is required.
7. Any ceasefire agreement must not be violated by the US or Israel.

This means:
