Galway Alliance Against War

Several anti-war events were scheduled in Galway. In Spiddal, in the afternoon, 150 people attended an Irish language service in the Catholic Church, jointly organised by Christians, Muslims, and anti-war activists. In Galway city centre, from 7 pm, about 500 joined a candle-lit vigil for peace. This was fewer than the organisers expected, but was creditable given the weather conditions. Earlier, a Galway contingent participated in the Global Women's Strike anti-war event at Shannon airport. 'Awareness' activities in Loughrea and Ballinasloe had to be cancelled due to the terrible weather.
