 Shannon Airport is the destination again on Saturday 21st of June for a National Demonstration called by the Cork Anti-War Campaign against the continued US Military use of the Airport. Buses are travelling from Cork and Dublin. The demonstration will be complimented by a party/gathering called by SOS at what was previously the site of the Shannon Peace Camp and by a Catholic Worker Peace Walk. SOS have issued an open invitation for people interested in contributing to the party and in a statement and interview have outlined their novel approach. Court cases centring on events at previous Shannon demonstrations and direct actions continue, as do efforts to raise funds for those facing charges and fines. These include a pub quiz in Dublin on Thursday 19th June, and a concert in Dublin on Tuesday 17th. An abundance of material continues to be published on Indymedia on the subject of the ongoing war in Iraq and protests and actions in opposition to it including these audio interviews with Caoimhe Butterly, who has recently travelled there. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6When are we going to see a march in favour of the courageous Iranian students and other protesters against the theocrats.
When are you going to organise one Des?
I'll be happy to organise one, but I'm trying to see if anyone is interested. No one appears to be so far. Wonder why, if some people are willing to burn themselves to death?
What exactly do you want us to protest for, or against? Do you have a brief policy statement you want us to agree to? What would you like to see the march achieve, and how? (Ireland to cut off diplomatic relations with Iran?)
I'm interested, but I don't think you're serious...
Good luck to the war resisters' march.
To Des Sallynoggin: maybe you should ring up the US embassy. I think they will be very interested in helping you to organise such a march.
And maybe the students in Syria will need your help after that?
Oh Gee another protest at Shannon. Since the fall of the socialist dream you suddenly discovered that Shannon has been used by Airforces from the US. When the USSR was using it where were the protests? I never did see a protest when the Airshow that has a strong Russian input was put on a couple of years ago. Let's be honnest the only time you guys protest is if it has anything to do with the US or anyone who disagrees with Socialism!
