The demonstration will assemble at 7pm in Shannon Town Centre. Protestors will then march to the terminal building at Shannon Airport. On the possibility of the protestors being prevented from entering Shannon, Anti-War Ireland says: “For the guards to prevent a peaceful protest from going ahead would amount to a serious breach of our civil liberties, and would be unacceptable. It would also be ironic, given that Bush expects to be applauded by our government for supposedly restoring democracy and civil liberties to the people of Iraq at the very moment ours are being threatened. At this point in time, we have no reason to believe that the protest will be banned. Anti-War Ireland has written to An Garda Síochana to give notice of a peaceful demonstration, and to indicate the march route. The gardaí have not been in touch with us, so we can only assume that it’s all systems go.” read full story / add a comment

Solidarity Vigils at Irish Embassies, Consulates and sites of significance, while Bush lands at Shannon on Friday or dwells at Dromoland Castle on Saturday, are growing! Vigils have been confimed thus far in Vancouver, Chicago, London, Menwith & Timor Leste (East Timor) have been confirmed. I'm still waiting to hear from anti-war friends in Sydney, Melbourne, Ghotenburg & Derry.

If you have any anti-war friends you think are worth approaching (even for a solo vigil) cut and paste the invitation below and whack it off to them. If they can confrim to [email protected]
we can confirm and collect the most accuaret list!

President Bush has been castigated by the media, ostensibly for his war-mongering.
However how much of the hysteria being whipped up by the media, especially by RTE is because he is being so successful at restoring family values to the US and RTE 's agenda is vehemently anti-family. read full story / add a comment
