Warship should not be welcomed to Dublin

TOMORROW (June 29), a British Navy warship, HMS Ocean, is due to arrive in Dublin on what is termed a ‘courtesy visit’.

HMS Ocean is the largest warship in the Royal Navy and it played a prominent role in the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

A great deal of attention has been focused over the past few years on US involvement in the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and British participation has received much less emphasis.
