Yes it is 2007 This story arose while indymedia was off air, as usual I just summarise/archive other press/blogs, McEvaddy and Irish companies involvement of US war machine is such a collosal issue its hasn't written about specifically for while and it difficult one to tackle. Now I don't know if this was just an off the cuff remark on that got out of hand although Knock Airport is a private company and the shares are held in trust for the people of Connacht by Monsignor James Horan, McEvaddy who was a close personal friend of the airport founder who served on the board of the airport from 1986 to 1989. |

Jump To Comment: 1Ireland West Airport says a clear ‘no’ to US military flights

What humanitarian, bombing the baltics?
Jim Mcdaid TD pump for bloodmoney and attention

A defiant Dr James McDaid TD this week defended his view that Carrickfinn airport could be used for US planes carrying soldiers to Iraq.
However, Dr McDaid stood by his controversial remarks.
"The Americans and Russians have been using Shannon Airport for years. Where would we be without the Americans. We would have been run over by Hitler in World War Two were it not for the Americans. I have no problems with America trying to overcome extremism. Saddam Hussein was responsible for the murder of millions of people. If the Americans wanted to run flights out at the Swilly near Letterkenny I'd support them," he said.
"I have no problem whatsoever with the assistance we give to the United States. Where would we be without America. We are not assisting their war effort - we've always allowed planes to stop in Ireland. The only difference now is that they're carrying soldiers," Dr McDaid added.
