news report
Friday September 13, 2013 13:49 by Margaretta D'Arcy
Court Case of Shannon Airport arrests Margaretta D'Arcy and Nial Farrel A packed courtroom yesterday erupted into laughter after ‘Guantanamo Granny’-79-year-old anti-war activist Margaretta Darcy, Unusually, the case against Margaretta D'Arcy and Niall Farrell was dealt with before lunch at Ennis District court yesterday (Wednesday, 11th Sept). Normally cases involving peace activists tend to be postponed until the end of the court session, thereby inconveniencing the peace activists as much as possible. Perhaps it was because Margaretta and Niall were dressed in orange Guantanamo style boiler suits that the authorities decided to get them out of court as quickly as possible.

Article 28.3.1 of Bunreacht na hEireann (constitution of the Republic of Ireland): "War shall not be declared and the State shall not participate in any war save with the assent of Dáil Éireann."
The excerpt (the part in quotes) just above has come from: http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/en/constitution/index.html
I'm not sure if our State (Republic of Ireland) ever did get the "assent of Dáil Éireann" -- for "participating" -- in the ILLEGAL (under international law) invasion of Iraq, for example? It would be VERY strange if they did: allowing for the well-known illegality of that particularly nasty piece of outrageous "Bush/Blair" CRIME which has already cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people (and possibly millions according to some reports).
Personally, I would not be in the SLIGHTEST bit surprised if our State didn't get the necessary -- required by law -- assent.
Much more likely -- I suspect (???) -- that our lily-livered, greed-and-corruption ridden, and grossly ignorant, Dáil Éireann occupants would have UNLAWFULLY caved into one or other of the George W. Bush's crime-ridden type mantras? Such as (for example):
"All those who fail to 100% support our 'war on terror efforts' (so called!!) will be treated as the arch-enemies of the United States of America".
and/or:
The constitution "is just a goddamned piece of paper" and "don't anybody EVER talk to ME -- GEORGE W BUSH -- about it being the SUPREME LAW of the land, and all of that very silly and COMPLETELY OUTDATED verbal rubbish and nonsense" (or words to that effect).
"Do you NOT know who I, GEORGE W BUSH am? Do you not realise that, among MANY other things, I can walk on water, catch and stop bullets with my teeth, and -- far better than ANYTHING Christ could EVER do -- that I can even shit ice-cream (for example): so mind what you say in my presence!!".
"Know what I mean 'Arry"?

Seeing as you mentioned the UN thus may be relevant: "Al-Qaeda chief Ayman calls for U.S. attacks and economic boycott

Al-Qaeda chief Ayman, in a speech marking the 12th anniversary of 9/11, called for attacks on the United States and a boycott of the world’s largest economy.
A summary and translated English excerpts of the roughly 72-minute address was made available by the SITE Intelligence Group.
The speech was posted on jihadi forums a day after America held ceremonies in honor of the nearly 3,000 people killed in the attacks of September 11, 2001.
“We should bleed America economically by provoking it to continue in its massive expenditure on its security, for the weak point of America is its economy, which has already begun to stagger due to the military and security expenditure,” Zawahiri said according to the SITE translation.
“And keeping America in tension and anticipation only costs a few disparate attacks here and there, meaning as we defeated it in the gang warfare in Somalia, Yemen, Iraq and Afghanistan, so we should follow it with that war on its own land,” he added.
Aymani went on to say that these strikes could be “done by one brother or a few of the brothers” and that it was worth waiting for the right moment in order to mount a large-scale attack.
“With these strikes, we must monitor and lie in wait and seize any opportunity to land a large strike on it, even if it takes years of patience for this,” he said.
Aymani also referenced the twin bomb blasts at the Boston marathon in April that left three dead and scores wounded and maimed.
“The Boston incident confirms to the Americans the extent of their lying and tricking of themselves, and their arrogance from accepting the truth that is as bright as the sun, which is that they are not facing individuals, organizations or groups, but they are facing an uprising Ummah [Muslim community], that rose in jihad to defend its soul, dignity and capabilities,” he said.
According to the SITE summary, Ayman also urged jihadists in war-torn Syria not to cooperate with Protestants."

September 14th 2013 "bigger picture update" (of sorts) from Human Rights Ireland ...
=== === ===
'The text in the several sections indicated below, parts of which were written by international political analyst, researcher and consultant Adrian Salbuchi, was used as the message-text in an e-mail sent last Thursday afternoon (September 12th 2013) to the United Nations titled:
" ... global criminals gone berserk ..."'
=== === ===
Yesterday morning, September 13th 2013, the earlier mentioned message-text (i.e. the same message-text as that used for the September 12th 2013 UN e-mail) was sent to Colette Nolan who is the Chief Executive Officer of the Republic of Ireland's Irish Advocacy Network. A full copy of the e-mail used, which was copied to several of her work colleagues (using the same e-mail), can be viewed at:

An e-mail containing the same above-mentioned UN message-text was also sent yesterday (September 13th 2013) to the British Monarchy, and to a selection of UK Members of the House of Commons, and the House of Lords. A full copy of the e-mail used can be viewed at:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/BritishMonarchy/13Sep...l.htm
In addition, and also sent yesterday, an e-mail was dispatched to an international Group of MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) which also featured the same above-mentioned UN message-text (of September 12th 2013):
