"Stand in front of a bin truck and they may well jail you. Pocket millions, some of which would have otherwise gone to health or education, and they will ask you over for dinner."They hang the man and flog the woman That steal the goose from off the common, But let the greater villain loose That steals the common from the goose. The law demands that we atone When we take things we do not own But leaves the lords and ladies fine Who take things that are yours and mine. The poor and wretched don't escape If they conspire the law to break; This must be so but they endure Those who conspire to make the law. The law locks up the man or woman Who steals the goose from off the common And geese will still a common lack Till they go and steal it back.

''...Theologian John
Robinson, who did a similar occupation of the same building previously, had decided that his
conscience was calling him to do so once more. He was ultimately joined by six like-minded
people, including Iraqi peace activist Nuria Mustafa (who will appear in Shannon District Court
on November 20th along with several others on charges of obstructing traffic near the airport on
June 21st). Nuria, who is currently fasting for Ramadan, prayed with John and others for the
casualties of the invasion and occupation of Iraq, in what was a truly ecumenical act of civil
disobedience. The seven constructed a shrine to the Iraqi dead, recited the Office of the Dead
and chanted Muslim prayers, as they nonviolently confronted the Aviation Authority on its
complicity in the ongoing war and occupation of Iraq.''
"It is worth remembering that on February 15th more than 100,000 people marched in Dublin
against U.S. plans to invade Iraq and against Irish complicity with the American military. They
were treated with contempt by the Irish government, which ignored the huge turnout and instead
continued to assist the build up to war. Tens of thousands also marched in other urban centres and on
Shannon airport itself, and they were similiarly treated with contempt by Fianna Fail and the PDs. This
attitude persists and Shannon airport continues to be shamed by the presence of U.S. warplanes. In fact,
the airport is openly assisting the occupations of both Iraq and
Afghanistan. That is simply not acceptable."
