Shannonwatch Appalled at Court Decision to Convict Mick Wallace and Clare Daly![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Press Release - Shannonwatch, 22nd Apr 2015 Shannonwatch are appalled at today’s decision by a court in Ennis to convict TDs Mick Wallace and Clare Daly for their attempts to search a US military plane at Shannon. The two TDs were given maximum €1000 fines, despite the overwhelming evidence to support their case that they had no alternative but to do what they did. In delivering his judgement the judge said that the issues raised should be addressed in another forum. “That forum is clearly the parliament and the legislature which has been exposed as being deficient in any system of regulation and oversight of what is going through Shannon” said Clare Daly. “The evidence that Shannon is being used in an illegal way is now overwhelming. The information coming from government departments shows that nobody is taking responsibility for Irelands support for war, and that government claims are clearly nonsense. |
