Women protest at Shannon landings

A GROUP of women is maintaining a vigil at Shannon Airport in protest at US Air Force landings there.

More than 20 protestors began the anti-war protest at a roundabout close to the airport on Saturday evening and last night they appealed for more women to join them.

“We’ve got a big bonfire blazing and we’re working hard to keep our spirits up. We want more women to come here as soon as they can,” said Mary Kelly.
