 Thursday October 02, 2003 21:09 by Fintan Lane - Irish Anti-War Movement 087 1258325
 At last Sunday's Irish Anti-War Movement AGM, a decision was taken to support a demonstration called by the Tralee Anti-War Group to be held at the forthcoming Ard Fheis of Fianna Fail. This annual jamboree of the corrupt and the corruptible is due to be held on Saturday week in Killarney. It is vital that people make a serious effort to get to this demonstration, which will be focused on the abuse of Shannon airport as a U.S. military refuelling stop. 11 October - Anti-war demonstration at the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis in Killarney |

Minister Mc dowell held a bull horn in his hand.
He said "Blood will flow.disperce peacefully and go home."
Well,we dont know why the called in the Elite ERU gaurd,the Eru gaurd.They cocked their riot guns and started firing hard.Garda Oaf shreiked"Ilove to hear these anti war crusties squeal.Too bad these slugs aint real."At the local Finna Fail hop at the Gleneagle hotel.
At least McDowell has come out against the government over the payment issue to sexual abuse victims. Could lead to internal governmental tension, which is at least something.
Hope the protest in Killarney is a success.
The protest is a good idea, but it might be worth bearing in mind that some of the delegates may agree with the protestors.
Here in Galway, I know that several 'ordinary' Fianna Fail members have participated in anti-war activity. This has not stopped us from picketing Minister O Cuiv and highlighting his hypocrisy on the war, but in doing so we have been careful to draw attention to traditional FF policy on neutrality.
There may be 10 or there may be 100s of anti-war FFers in Killarney, and the anti-war movement should be careful not to alienate them. Rather, appeal to them to assert party policy & to resist the sell-out perpetrated by Cowen, Ahern & Co. (It might be a good idea to blame the warmongering PDs for it all)

I'm going to try to make it to this demo but i definitely won't be following John Cunninghams advice! Is he for real? Blame the PDs and let FF off the hook? Huh??
