Bertie takes Redmond line on imperial war

ON February 15 last the Peace & Neutrality Alliance and the Irish Anti-War Movement helped to organise one of the largest anti-war demonstrations in recent Irish history.

We opposed the war on Iraq and called for the immediate end of the use of Shannon airport by the US in its build-up to war.

Those of us who marched were ignored by the Government which went on to destroy Irish neutrality by allowing Shannon to be used by the US in their conquest of Iraq.
