Taoiseach 'heartened' by peace march
February 18, 2003
"The Taoiseach has told the Dáil that he is 'very heartened' that one hundred thousand people turned up at the peace march in Dublin on Saturday. Mr Ahern said the marchers supported what he described as the view of every member of the Dáil, that there should be no war, but he stressed again that the way to avoid war was for Saddam Hussein to comply with UN resolutions."
Perhaps everyone who attended the march might like to send Bertie a postcard saying "US MILITARY OUT OF SHANNON NOW!", just to put him straight.
