Irish Peace Movement Continues as 3,000 March in Galway![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
The Galway protest comes a week after massive demonstrations in Dublin and Belfast encouraged Taoiseach Bertie Ahern to finally declare government support for a second UN resolution. Rattled by the sheer size of the protests and clearly out of touch with the mood on the ground, Ahern also ridiclously claimed to agree with the marchers while Tánaiste Mary Harney dismissed protest organisers as anti-American. Meanwhile anti-war activities continue around the country ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ) ( 6 ) ( 7 ) ( 8 ) ( 9 ) ( 10 ) ( 11 ) ( 12 ) ( 13 ) ( 14 ) ( 15 ) and the potential for war in Iraq continues to dominate the Irish political scene ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ). As the Ploughshare protestors remain in prison ( 2 ) ( 3 ) attention is now turning to a March 1st protest ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ) and direct action ( 2 ) ( 3 ) at Shannon Airport, despite concerns about organisation. |
