At last Sunday's Irish Anti-War Movement AGM, a decision was taken to support a demonstration called by the Tralee Anti-War Group to be held at the forthcoming Ard Fheis of Fianna Fail. This annual jamboree of the corrupt and the corruptible is due to be held on Saturday week in Killarney. It is vital that people make a serious effort to get to this demonstration, which will be focused on the abuse of Shannon airport as a U.S. military refuelling stop.

11 October - Anti-war demonstration at the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis in Killarney

Demands:
US Military out of Shannon
No Irish troops for the occupation of Iraq
Drop all charges of civil disobedience

This is a chance to bring it home to FF party members that we hold Bertie Ahern, Brian Cowan and the government accountable for the Irish participation in the US war effort in Iraq.

We reject the escalation proposed by Ahern that Irish troops are sent to reinforce the brutal US/UK occupation of Iraq.

We demand instead that the Irish government drops all charges against those activists who committed acts of civil disobedience and/or non-violently disarmed a US warplane at Shannon.
