Chomsky's talk was attended by 2000 people, with thousands more being refused tickets. His talk has caused a stir in the mass media this morning as he named US military and intelligence stopovers in Shannon as war crimes and backed calls for demonstrations in Ireland and elsewhere against the occupation of Iraq on M18.
