Flagrant breaches of neutrality

Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh has said that Tuesday's admission by the Department of Transport that 26 US warplanes have brought munitions through Shannon Airport already this month merely confirms what anti-war protesters have been saying for weeks. He has called on the government to end its complicity in the war build up and to stop allowing Shannon airport to be used in this manner.

"The government approach to this matter has been one of misinformation and deception," he said. "It is time that we heard the truth, had an honest debate in the Dáil and ensured that the wishes of the people are respected."
