Air pollution in Dublin and other towns and cities last weekend was at a level not seen since before the introduction of the ban on smoky coal 30 years ago.
"In each of these towns, there's a large amount of solid fuel burning going on so people are burning coal, peat and wood. Air pollution levels in Rathmines and Ringsend, both in Dublin, were up to 15 times higher than EU and World Health Organisation guidelines on Saturday night last. Air pollution causes 1,300 premature deaths here each year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency."That impact will be most strongly felt by those of us who struggle with our lungs or with our heart but equally for everyone across society," Mr Kenny said.
