'Eco-anxiety' affects 78% of children under 12, a crisis that teachers say they are unable to cope with, new polling by Greenpeace has found. The solution? More ruthless exposure of children to alarmist material.

Govt to hand over documents relating to Shannon

Dubsky High Court trial success

From RTE news: The High Court has ordered the Government to hand over documents relating to its decisions to allow foreign military aircraft to overfly Irish airspace and to land and refuel at Irish airports.

From RTE news: The High Court has ordered the Government to hand over documents relating to its decisions to allow foreign military aircraft to overfly Irish airspace and to land and refuel at Irish airports.

Mr Justice McKechnie made the order in an action taken by student activist Eoin Dubsky, who is claiming that the permission is unconstitutional and amounts to paraticipation in war.

The judge ordered the government to discolose the documents within four weeks.

The government opposed the application, arguing that some decisions were 'not written' and that the documents sought were neither relevant to nor necessary for the action.

Mr Dubsky took the proceedings while on bail on charges relating to the damaging of a US military aircraft at Shannon airport.

Whooo hooooo Way to go,
Mind you, i'll wager this dont make it onto corporate controlled, pentagon friendly media over here. the same media that has been consistently reporting the rally in washington dc as 30,000 and NEVER reporting from an anti-war persepective. Be aware folks, the American giant is awakening. God speed the day and continue fighting the US government and it's immoral oil war.

What do people think of the fact that the judge has given the shower in power four weeks to get the documents. Does this mean that the landings and refuelings can still go on for the next four weeks - thats several thousand troops passing through for another month.
Well done to Eoin though for a good job done.

In reply to Shane's post (above), I can tell you that four weeks is the shortest turn-around time we could get from the court. The state need to account for every military overflight and stopover for which there is documentation - if they've kept proper records it could be quite a number.

In the mean time I think it is up to YOU to disrupt the military carry-on at Shannon Airport YOURSELVES. Don't wait to hear what the High Court thinks of all this.

The Irish Government are in breach of the Geneva convention by allowing a hostile force to use its territory against another nation.
