The Galway Alliance Against War float at the St. Patrick Day’s parade was greeted with applause every step of the way up through Galway city. Some two hundred peace activists carrying white flags followed behind a huge banner, which read “Stop Cogadh – Stop War”. And as they weaved their way along the streets of Galway they sang the Irish song “Síochàn dibh go léir” to the beat of two samba drums. Members of the Galway Alliance distributed white ribbons and leaflets to the spectators.

GALWAY ALLIANCE AGAINST WAR

Press Release


Peace Float Greeted With Applause in Galway


The Galway Alliance Against War float at the St. Patrick Day’s parade was greeted with applause every step of the way up through Galway city. Some two hundred peace activists carrying white flags followed behind a huge banner, which read “Stop Cogadh – Stop War”. And as they weaved their way along the streets of Galway they sang the Irish song “Síochàn dibh go léir” to the beat of two samba drums. Members of the Galway Alliance distributed white ribbons and leaflets to the spectators.

The leaflet detailed what was planned for Galway in the event of war breaking out:
* At noon on the day following an attack, there will be a 10 minute stoppage: stop work, leave lectures or classes, stop whatever you’re doing
* At 6pm on the evening of an attack, there will be a vigil for peace in Shop-street
* On the Saturday following, there will be mass protests in cities and towns. In Galway, go to the Fr Griffin Rd Park at 1 pm.

When the Galway Alliance Against War float reached the platform, Nuria Dunne, an Iraqi living in Galway, presented the dignitaries on the viewing stand with a white ribbon each. Then 5 children of different nationalities from the Claddagh school read aloud poems for peace.
