O Bradaigh speaks out against slavish breach of Irish neutrality

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Saturday March 22, 2003 20:23author by Ailin Report this post to the editors

In a statement the President of Republican Sinn Fein, Ruairí Ó Brádaigh has called on Republican Sinn Fein members and supporters to organise or join in protests against the continued use of Shannon airport by US warplanes.

"Today's attack (Thursday, Mar 20 on Iraq is contrary to the UN Charter and in our view is an imperialist war. It is the first of the 'resource wars' of the 21 Century (Jacques Delors). The action of the Dublin Government in allowing US warplanes to refuel at Shannon and over fly Irish airspace is a slavish and flagrant breach of Irish Neutrality and must be opposed.

We call on Republican Sinn Féin members and supporters to either continue their own anti - war protests or to participate in others. Under their own banners and with their own literature." Ruairí Ó Brádaigh said.

Des Long, Vice President, Republican Sinn Féin
March 22, 2003
By allowing the use of Shannon Airport as a transit base to American troops against the wishes of the Irish people, the 26 County Administration must bear some of the responsibility for the awful loss of life in Iraq, the Vice President of Republican Sinn Féin said today.

Des Long said that the American and British engineered war has no moral sanction from the United Nations.

"In fact the war is opposed by the vast majority of people who see that diplomacy was not given a proper chance to resolve the situation," he told delegates from Clare, Limerick, Kerry, Cork and Waterford at the Munster Executive meeting of Republican Sinn Fein in Limerick today.

"In Shannon we see how politicians have ignored the wishes of the people - as far back as the first Gulf War - and in the recent conflict in Afghanistan we in Republican Sinn Féin said that a civilian airport should not be used for military purposes.

"While the people of Iraq are being bombed into bits tonight let the politicians reflect that these weapons of mass destruction were not only facilitated but welcomed at Shannon Airport.

By conniving with the American military and using weasel words this Dublin Administration must bear some of the responsibility for the awful loss of life in this conflict.

"The Americans masquerade under their so called flag of freedom but what they are doing to the people of Iraq is tantamount to international terrorism. The Americans can never again speak about terrorism with any moral authority. What they are doing is nothing short of inflicting terror on an entire country."

And on Radio Free Eireann, NYC, today, veteran unconquered, republican, George Harrison, Patron of Republican Sinn Fein, said that the US had the same rights in Iraq as Britain had in Ireland: the robbers right of conquest. 'My contempt for the forces of imperialism' said Harrison 'is only matched by my respect for those who oppose it'.

The imperialists states, US and UK, have waged a criminal and illegal war on Iraq for over 12 years by imposing an inhuman embargo, no fly zones, continued bombing, humiliations and now this savage SHOCK & AWE aggression.

The anglo-sionist's goal is to steal Iraqi oil, dominate the Middle East and the world and allow Israel to continue with its territorial expansion and massacre of the Palestinian people.

The US and the UK are committing a crime against humanity in Iraq, if we don't try and stop them we will be part of it.
