A US Air Force marching band has pulled out of two events in Limerick this weekend. The US Air Force In Europe Band was due to take part in the International Festival Parade on Sunday and the St Patrick’s Day Parade. It is understood they are withdrawing due to security concerns. About 50 of the band’s members, however, will be guests of the “Springfest 2003” celebrations in the city.

It was the Grassroots Gathering that frightened them off.

Maybe it was the Garda Emergency Response Unit...

It was D O'Heochai, they feared he would create another Limerick Soviet to stop them.

Maybe it was a combination of Pat C, the GNAW and the Grassroots Gathering that made George's babykillers piss off? BTW if it was DHEOCHAI he should get the order of the red banner first class.
