The foreign military presence at Shannon Airport is an ongoing feature of Ireland's failure to take a stand against the failed policies of the US in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our neutrality has been abandoned and we have become complicit in endless cycles of suffering and death.
Furthermore the CIA use of the airport as a staging post for torture flights has not been acknowledged or addressed by the Irish government.
The monthly vigils at the airport continue, with the next one scheduled for 14:00 - 15:00 on Sunday November 13th. Please come along, and bring friends. Let the airport authorities and the government know that you care, and that you have had enough of the military occupation of Shannon.

Shannonwatch Press Release
8th November, 2011
Members of the U.S. organization Veterans For Peace will take part in a vigil at Shannon Airport action on Sunday next, November 13th, at 2 pm. The vigil is organised by Shannonwatch to demand an end to the ongoing US military use of the airport, and to express opposition to the ongoing US occupation of Afghanistan. It will also call for action to be taken against landing US aircraft that are involved in renditions, illegal assassinations and other human rights abuse.
"Two-thirds of Iraq and Aftghanistan veterans do not believe these wars and occupations have done any good," says Gerry Condon, one of the representatives of Veterans For Peace who will be at Shannon. "We want all the troops to come home now and we want an end to drone bombings and torture too".
"As an Irish American, I am really upset to see Irish neutrality being trampled upon by the US military. Shannon Airport should not be used to ferry troops and weapons to war, or for CIA torture flights. I hope the Irish people are as outraged as I am, and will join our protest at Shannon this Sunday afternoon at 2 pm."
Veterns for Peace is a 21-year-old organization of thousands of veterans from several wars who now devote themselves to campaigning for peace. It is currently occupying “Freedom Plaza” in Washington, DC as part of the “Occupy Wall St.” movement.
"The ongoing US military use of Shannon is a feature of Ireland's failure to take a stand against the destructive policies of the US in Iraq and Afghanistan" said John Lannon of Shannonwatch. "Our neutrality has been abandoned, and we have become complicit in endless cycles of suffering and death".

GALWAY ALLIANCE AGAINST WAR Press Release
An Evening of Films To Mark Human Rights Day
This coming Saturday, December 10th, is Human Rights Day. To mark this date the Galway Alliance Against War is organising an evening of films in the Nun’s Island Theatre, Galway city centre.
Admission to both films is free.
Topping the bill at 8pm on Saturday night is the Irish premier of a documentary,
4 DAYS INSIDE GUANTÁNAMO.
It shows for the first time ever an encounter between a team of Canadian intelligence agents and a child detainee in Guantánamo. The documentary is based on 7 hours of video footage recently declassified by the Canadian courts. The footage is shocking. At the time of the interrogation in February 2003, the boy, Omar Khadr, a Canadian national, was barely 16 and had been in military custody for seven months. Omar is now aged 25 and is still being held in Guantánamo.
The other film that will be shown at 5.30pm is Ken Loach’s latest political thriller,
Route Irish.
