A story appeared in the Irish Mail On Sunday today and it prompted this article. Not a single plane has been searched in Shannon despite Green promises that state otherwise. The Irish Mail On Sunday ran an interesting article by John Lee today. The article was titled “Snub to Greens as 48 US flights pass unchecked.” The article appeared on page 6. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6not a single plane searched! when we think that the catamaran "lucky day" which capsized in the freak weather wasn't even carrying the amount of cocaine that a CIA rendition plane whose sister had been at Shannon crashed with a few weeks ago..,
Gummy Gormley and his chewing gum. Relax man! it's not worth it.
Slightly off topic but its not clear whether it was the majority who were present at the vote or an outright majority of all GP members who voted to support going into government.
510 members voted of which 441 voted in favour. The greens must have many more members than 510, surely? A few thousand more like. The claim 86% of the members voted in favour is misleading to say the least. It tallies with anecodtal evidence - its actually hard to find many Greens who don't think this was a negative step.
I thnk the membership figure for the Greens ia appropx 1,000. Only those who could travel to Dublin for the meeting got to vote.
here's more in the Greens, also from the Mail on Sunday
Here's a story of Air New Zealand following Shannon's business model, of war profiteering with a government playing dumb.
Air New Zealand a supposed antiwar country has been ferrying US and Australian troops from Darwin to 'Kuwait' ie Iraq and Japan Us military base with US fighter escorts

The NZ prime minister and foreigns affairs minister went on tv to claim they knew nothing about it even though the state owns 78% of the airline.
