Local students joined many others around the world today in holding a demonstration to highlight the need to do something about climate change.
The streets of Sligo saw a massive turnout from many secondary school students who were also joined by staff of their respective schools and other activists.
The march began at Summerhill College and made it’s way to town hall where students from three schools, Eimear Kearins (Ursuline College), Cliona Jordan (Mercy College) and Conor Curley (Summerhill College) addressed their fellow students about the urgent need for change.
