Shannon war flights a separate issue

BRENDAN HAYES (Letters, August 13) asks “will the anti-war movement which has been protesting about US troop stopovers lend its support to the Shannon workers whose livelihoods are currently under serious threat?”

The answer is that we were, and are, protesting against the loss of lives in Iraq — not loss of livelihoods at Shannon.

It is regrettably the case that some of the workers at Shannon have been facilitating those losses of innocent lives.
