I thought that this story would be reported/posted by PANA or somebody more directly involved in organising the event, but it has hasn't happened, so I here is my very short version: On Wenesday, 15 March, a fly-in protest (organised by the Peace and Neutrality Alliance) occurred at Shannon airport. Those who fly in were Roger Cole (PANA), Tony Gregory TD, Senator David Norris, John Maguire (Anti-War Ireland), Finian McGrath TD, John Gormley TD, A. O Snodaigh TD, Joe Costello TD, Joe Higgins TD, Fintan Lane (Anti-War Ireland) and Tommy Broughan TD. We boarded an 11.30 flight at Dublin and flew direct to Shannon in order to avoid the usual security attempts to quash Shannon protests, We were joined by Jan O'Sullivan TD at Shannon. As protests go, it was relatively uneventful, except insofar as it actually happened. It was a clever initiative by PANA that alllowed us to successfully avoid the clampdowns that have suppressed all protests at the airport since 2003. On a personal note, it was nice to be part of an anti-war protest within Shannon airport terminal, having been banned from the entire county for a two-year period. The struggle does on. A protest was held within terminal and also outside the front door. ... read full story / add a comment

When the state, the agencies of the state and the re-zoners(pardon me, Council) are going to put a road through it. Thus 4,000 people objected to the An Bord Pleanala decision to Route the M3 through the Tara Gabhra Valley. One person goes to court to seek judicial review of that decision, (gets hammered for 600,000 grand) and the message we take from this is, do not attempt to engage with a system and structure of planning that is designed to disempower your community or your legitimate right to protest. I quote from the affidavitt: "None of the 38sites/monuments are considered to have a group value or to have any relationships with the other monuments. At the risk of sounding frivolous, does this mean that they and their occupants or creators dropped out of the sky and did not interact with any other living soul or place in this landscape?" This ,from the state is what the 600,000 grand paid for. We are looking at appeal . ... read full story / add a comment

There is an exciting if rather belated anti-war initiative, being prepared here in Ireland, for Saint Patrick's Day. It was thought up by a member of the Derry Anti War Coalition, and has been put into action by an ad hoc group here in Derry but the idea is really striking a chord with everyone who hears about it. ... read full story / add a comment
