The biggest Protest yet against the US
Military use of Shannon Airport took place on Saturday 12th October.
After a pretty standard protest – (some pushing and shoving at the
entrance to the airport, speeches, an open mic, a funny standoff
between a group of public representatives and the Police, music,
chanting, a die-in) – a number of activists took down the fence
marking the airport perimeter and initiated a mass Trespass on the
grass beside a runway.
Lots of first hand accounts and reports from
individuals and groups involved in the protest have been posted on
Indymedia since the weekend and these have generated a huge level of
debate centered around the mass direct action, the way the protest
was organized and conducted, and the numerous arrests that took
place in the course of the trespass. The event was widely reported
in the mainstream media and has greatly increased public awareness
of US Military use of the airport in the buildup to a possible war
in Iraq.  >

A protest against an international privatisation conference at Dublin's Burlington hotel turned violent when the Gardai (Irish police) attacked protesters with batons. They were aided by a number of non uniformed men armed with sticks and torches, some of who may have been political police (Special Branch) but others appeared to be private security.
One of the non uniformed men attacked photographers including this reporter, attempting to smash their cameras to the ground. Under the attack the protesters retreated out of the hotel car park and down the street. At least twelve were arrested and at least two protesters received head wounds. The one pictured below appears to be the less serious of the two.
After I gave my camera to someone else to take care of I returned to demand the name of the person who had tried to smash it. At this stage he was at the centre of a group of uniformed Gardai. Some of these had removed their numbers from their uniforms.

The resources of the

There have been complaints of media bias and activists are monitoring of

Some 1,000 people gathered on St Stephens Green to
party in Dublin's' Reclaim the Streets event, coinciding with European car
free day (not that
you would
know it
was that in Dublin!). According to
one participant: "The day has been good so far. It's been a good turnout
and the cops have been well behaved. RTS is a self organised space,
everyone can play a part and not just consume. It's about empowerment and
having a good time."
The party was preceded by a
Critical
Mass
. Unlike last year's
car free
day
which a saw a number of arrests or the Mayday RTS which saw a
Garda
riot, the Gardai were peaceful.
This was despite some over excitable
media
build up.
