SUV owner has tyres deflated twice by neighbourhood menace in Terenure

A Terenure resident who has had his tyres deflated twice by a so-called climate activist says the offender needs to stop targeting "ordinary Joe Soaps."

Ronan Burke says that at least half a dozen SUV type vehicles on his road have been affected by the bizarre behaviour. Residents across the area have had notes tucked onto their windscreens, informing them that their large cars are “gas guzzlers” and that their use in urban areas spells disaster for the climate.

Gardai have been notified of the ongoing incident but Ronan explains that little can be done until the person responsible is directly caught in the act. While Ronan understands the sentiment behind the offender’s actions, he maintains that they should take their concerns to the government or car manufacturers, instead of hitting out at potentially vulnerable people on the ground.
