A crowd of about 100 people have gathered in Shannon town centre to begin the protest against the use of Shannon Airport by the military.

A crowd of about one hundred people have gathered in shannon town centre to protest against the against the use of Shannon Airport by the U.S. military. The Garda helicopter is hovering overhead monitiring proceedings while there is a strong Garda presence on the ground. 14 uniformed Gardai, members of the mounted unit and two paddy wagons are present. Squad cars are patrolling the area and unmarked special branch cars have also been spotted. Gardaí have taked the registration numbers of cars in the Lidl car park that have anti war posters displayed.

Members of the peace and neutrality alliance and the anti war movement will be calling on local houses handing out leaflets which explain the cost of the U.S. military presence to the Irish tax payer in security arrangements and landing charges. The mayor of Shannon is also attending the protest with a handfull of locals. The road to the Airport has been blocked by Gardaí at the Dromgeally flats. The protest march should be getting underway about now.
