Its wonderful to see the anti-airshow action continuing, but I do have one concern about the balloon release. I am gald to see that they are biodegradable, but it should be pointed out that burst released balloons are often swallowed by fish, marine birds, seals and other animals, resulting in slow and painful death by choking or intestinal blockage. At this time of year, the death or illness of a parent animal would also result in the slow death by starvation of its young (seals being particularly vulnerable at the moment). I doubt that even a biodegradable balloon would dissolve fast enough when swallowed to prevent the horrific suffering that results.
I therefore urge the organisers to carry out the release in such a way as to be able to collect the balloons afterwards and to dispose of them safely.
The new Green Party mayor of Galway has decided to boycott the airshow which is interesting see Daily Ireland today
Green Party Mayor Niall O’Brolcháin was invited by organisers to officially open the event, however he will participate in an anti-war event instead.

I was the guy in the boat off salthill with the Baner ' WAR FREE SKIES'
The Garda came and ask us to move on. Just wondering did anyone see us from the shore????
The best bit about the airshow were the war planes...
