Shannon Protest - Pics

category limerick | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Monday October 30, 2006 23:22author by Dave Report this post to the editors

The protest march in Shannon was a very dignified and poignant reminder of the ongoing slaughter of innocents in Iraq.
Marchers move off from Shannon Town towards airport
Marchers move off from Shannon Town towards airport

The placing of the coffins at the entrance to the airport was a direct challenge to the ongoing complicity by the Irish Government in this illegal war. The mood of the march throughtout was sombre but peaceful. The heavy security presence which surrounded the march had an appearance of unreality. A coach full of Gardai from Rossort, Helicopters, mounted Gardai, constant camera surveillance and alsatian dogs! Just like the ones used in Abu Gharaib against prisoners to frighten and intimidate. Over 2,000,000 dead in Iraq since the early nineties and those who protest face alsatian dogs. Was it Chomksy who said something about how the media ultimately normalise insanity?

Well taken shots. They give a good sense of the 'funeral'.

Funny crowd the SWP - they only attend IAWM anti-war events. Seems the IAWM/SWP are fast becoming an insular cult. It would have been good to see them weigh in with everybody else at Shannon but, on the plus side, it brought the number of paper sellers down to about one.

Yes he was along with Pat O'Sullivan, also of Cork SWP, and fair play to them. But that was it! None of their so-called anti-war leaders like RBB.

Good collection of mostly interesting speakers at rally.

Apart from the open mike at the end, the speakers were the three former US interrogators (Joshua Casteel, Stephen Lewis, Tony Lagouranis), a former Irish army commandant (Edward Horgan), two former top CIA analysts (Kathleen & Bill Christison), historian and former anti-war prisoner (Fintan Lane), columnist with Village and AWI speaker (Harry Browne), & two acquitted Pitstop Ploughshares (Ciaron O'Reilly & Deirdre Clancy).

Is that everyone? Open mike gave time to Maggie Roynane of Galway, a guy from Socialist Youth, a religious fella who said a couple of prayers, a Cork AWIer, a member of the IAWM.
