Solar's cheerleaders continue to make extravagant claims for its "transformative" power. But the reality is solar remains propped up by subsidies, mired in practical challenges and far from 'clean', says Dr Tilak Doshi.

Court case against two GAAW members, Margaretta D’Arcy and Niall Farrell.

category national | anti-war / imperialism | event notice author Sunday December 01, 2013 17:53author by AV. Fitzgerald Report this post to the editors

Monday 2nd December 2013

Margaretta and Naill are due to attend Ennis District Court on Monday 2nd December 2013 at 11 am, to face the totally absurd charge that they

“DID INTERFERE WITH THE PROPER USE OF THAT AIRPORT BY GOING ON THE RUNWAY WITHOUT PERMISSION.”

In fact, Margaretta and Niall went on the runway to prevent the IMPROPER use of that civilian airport. And on Dec 2nd Margaretta and Niall will represent their views on this matter – without the need of a lawyer – by showing that Shannon’s civilian airport has been IMPROPERLY transformed into a US military base in contravention of Bunreacht na hÉireann and numerous international human rights conventions, including the Convention against Torture. To back up their argument they will arrive at the court with two wheelbarrow loads of hard evidence and a selection of dictionaries to help determine the meaning of the “PROPER”.
However, Margaretta and Niall will not be presenting a “defence”, rather they intend to use the court to hold a “conversation” in a public place as proposed by President Michael D. Higgins.

We would urge peace supporters from all over the country to come and show solidarity with Margaretta and Niall and opposition to the on-going militarisation of Shannon airport at Ennis Court on Monday 2nd December 2013 11am
