A chronology of arrests etc at Shannon warport

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday March 10, 2003 15:23author by Joe - GNAW Report this post to the editors

The Irish people don't want war planes refuelled at Shannon but these latest charges bring to 44 or so the number who are being victimised for trying to stop refuelling. Bail conditions/convictions have excluded most of these people from the entire of county Clare. Details of protests on that date follow.

By my count the following have been arrested, charged or convicted for taking direct action at Shannon. If you are aware of further arrests please add details using the comment button.
