ANTI-WAR MARCH IN CORK THIS COMING SATURDAY

The Cork Anti-War Campaign will be holding a march through Cork city centre this Saturday to protest at the war on Iraq and, more particularly, at the use of Shannon airport by American warplanes. It is extremely important that we mobilise for this demonstration in order to send a clear message to Fianna Fail and the PDs that the majority of Irish people oppose the integration of an Irish civilian airport into the U.S. war machine. The Irish state should not be complicit in mass slaughter.

The demonstration, one of many across the country, will assemble at Daunt Square at 1pm. Bring homemade placards and other items symbolising your opposition to what is happening at Shannon airport.

If you live outside the city, please consider organising a bus from your area – we need as many people as possible to attend on the day! For details and information, phone Fintan Lane at 087 1258325.

PEACE CONCERT ORGANISED BY CAWC

A peace concert organised by the Cork Anti-War Campaign will be held in City Limits, Coburg Street, from 8pm till late, on this coming Thursday evening.

VIGIL ON DAUNT SQUARE AT 6PM ON DAY X
