Irish Batten Down Hatches for Bush
Published on Friday, June 25, 2004 by the Guardian/UK
Normally this would be a routine date in the presidential calendar. But the handover of sovereignty to Iraq next Wednesday will take precedence over the other topics for discussion, including Afghanistan, trade and the global Aids epidemic.
Washington has kept a close eye on Ireland's presidency and believes Mr Ahern has helped to calm tensions between the EU and US. Mr Bush is expected to use his meetings, first with Mr Ahern, then with Romano Prodi, Javier Solana and other EU commissioners, to seek greater commitment to Iraq. He will then fly to Turkey for a Nato summit.
Ireland's anti-war lobby is angry that the country, famed for its neutrality, is allowing US military aircraft to refuel at Shannon airport and Baldonnel airfield near Dublin on their way to Iraq.

from breaking news
A press conference due to begin at 1.40pm was delayed as buses carrying about 300 journalists were unable to get past the traffic and protestors.
RTE were saying a short time ago that Bush was back at the airport but they did not think he had left the country yet.
Once that happens maybe we can arrange to get the place exorcised.
RTE1 TV have now finished their 'Prime Time' coverage of the visit, and Kevin Myers has been put back in his box until needed again.
