Demands made for Derry City Council to act on its promise to act on Military Raytheon

Council meeting

Both FEIC and DAWC were today calling on the council to stand by that commitment, following evidence unearthed by the North West Telegraph that Raytheon had been developing the Joint Effects Tactical Targeting System (JETTS) for the MoD, which aims to improve "lethality". During a meeting, Raytheon bosses confirmed to the council that the revelations in the documents, obtained from Invest NI under the Freedom of Information Act, were true.

Last ditch by FEIC to save Derry's Democracy from the Raytheon Company

Presentation made by FEIC to Derry City Council on Thursday 16 November 2006 in a last ditch effort to make them hold to their own 2004 policy against the arms trade. Read clear indictment here.

http://www.blackshamrock.org/article/133

Sinn Fein councillor Gerry MacLochlainn is expected to put forward a motion at Thursday's Policy and Resources Committee meeting calling on Raytheon to stick solely to civilian work in Derry.

At a full council meeting three weeks ago, the council voted through an SDLP motion to lobby the British and Irish governments for tougher controls on the arms trade after a debate on Raytheon's operations in the city.DUP councillor Gregory Campbell, however, argued that while everyone in Derry would prefer environmentally sound investors, the North West was in no position to be choosy.
