Answer: <br/>
The act of An Oireachtas that we usually cite to the Gardai at Shannon is the “CRIMINAL JUSTICE (UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE) ACT, 2000”. I suggest you read this act carefully, as it is an Act of An Oireachtas which brings the original UN Convention Against Torture into Irish legislation, and which imposes a duty on Gardai to enforce the provisions of this act, which they have been consistently failing to do. <br/>
<a href="http://www.acts.ie/en.act.2000.0011.1.html" title="http://www.acts.ie/en.act.2000.0011.1.html">http://www.acts.ie/en.act.2000.0011.1.html</a> <br/><br/>
In addition all crimes of assault, illegal imprisonment and or kidnapping, are also specific crimes under Irish law. Any prisoner being transported through Shannon airport has a right to be protected by the Gardai from any of these offences against him/her, and the Gardai have a corresponding duty to investigate any reports that such crimes may have been committed. These reports come not only from peace activists at Shannon, but are also supported by detailed research and reports by the EU Parliamentary Committee TDIP, by the Council of Europe, the United Nations, Amnesty International, and many other sources. I never suggested that there were “general power of arrest for a breach of international law", but there are specific powers and obligations imposed on all governments by customary international law, and by international law conventions, such as the Geneva Conventions on War, international laws on neutrality, and international laws governing the International Criminal Court. <br/><br/>
The following was published on the Government website on Thursday 15th December 2011<br/>
Ireland accepts compulsory jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court<br/>
The Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Eamon Gilmore T.D., has announced the formal acceptance by Ireland of the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice.<br/>
Speaking in Dublin, to coincide with the lodgement of Ireland’s official declaration at the United Nations Head Quarters in New York today, the Tánaiste said:<br/>
“I am delighted that, from today, Ireland will accept the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice.”<br/>
” This decision is fully consonant with the commitment in Article 29 of the Constitution to the peaceful settlement of international disputes by international courts and tribunals. It is also consistent with the Government’s objective of enhancing Ireland’s standing as a respected and influential member of the international community.”<br/>
The possibility of accepting the Court’s compulsory jurisdiction had been signalled as far back as the White Paper on Foreign Policy in 1996. The Government took a decision in principle in April that Ireland would accept the Court’s jurisdiction by the end of the year and a decision on 7 December that a declaration should be lodged. The Government’s decision has already been warmly welcomed by other states and by the President of the ICJ.<br/>

Under the Hague Convention on Neutrality, and other customary international laws on neutrality, the Irish Government has powers and duties as a self-declared neutral state, and these duties and powers include the arrest and detention of all foreign troops who are transiting through Irish territory, territorial waters or air-space, while on their way to war as troops of a belligerent state.
The Irish government therefore has the authority and the duty to order Irish soldiers to carry out arrests under these aspects of international law. <br/>
With regard to the powers of arrest applicable to Irish soldiers, you are incorrect to state that only “extremely limited powers of arrest that can be invoked by a soldier”. Every Irish citizen, and that includes all Irish soldiers, have certain powers of arrest, that apply in the absence of members of An Garda Siochana, and these powers of arrest apply when it is necessary to prevent a serious crime being committed. With regard to the powers of arrest applicable to Irish soldiers at Shannon airport, soldiers on duty at Shannon airport are normally there in their capacity of being “in aid of the civil power”, and that means that they are normally accompanied by a member of An Garda Siochana, and that Garda is the one who would carry out any necessary arrests. In the absence of a Garda, the soldiers would have citizens’ powers of arrest. <br/><br/>
Poor rhetoric, Contrarian, and poor knowledge of Irish and International laws.
