Activists from Globalise Resistance hung a banner yesterday on Fairview Pedestrian Bridge, Northstrand Road, Dublin that reads “US troops out of Shannon; protest December 6th, Shannon Airport”.

Activists from Globalise Resistance, the anti-capitalist network hung the banner yesterday to highlight their anger at the continuing use of Shannon Airport by US military going to Iraq and to advertise the Blockade of Shannon Airport that takes place on December 6th organised by the Irish Anti-war Movement.

Rory Hearne, convenor Globalise Resistance said “over ten thousand US soldiers passed through Shannon Airport in September aboard 411 military flights. Nearly 100,000 US troops have passed through Shannon this year. It is disgraceful that the Irish government continues to go against the will of the Irish people by supporting the US in their occupation of Iraq. This war was about oil and the profit of US corporations, they have no interest in a democratic Iraq or in helping the people of Iraq. We call on everyone to come to the protest in Shannon on December 6th and show that in giving support to the US the FF/PD government does not represent the people of Ireland”
