The Covid Inquiry has allowed itself to degenerate into a cudgel to flog the Tory government of Boris Johnson. But an inquiry that instantiates a lie is worse than no inquiry at all, says Will Adie.

As he entered Downing Street, Keir Starmer told us he would "tread more lightly" on our lives. In 18 months Labour has gone from merely lying to bullshitting, losing all attachment to reality, says Sean Walsh.

US Navy Transport warplane and OMNI Air Troop Carrier at Shannon

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Wednesday July 01, 2009 18:06author by Edward Horgan - Shannonwatch Report this post to the editors

Gardai continue to obey unlawful orders

Irish army soldiers provide guard duty for US navy warplane at Shannon, while up to 200 armed soldiers transit through Shannon on an OMNI Air troop carrier.

Shannon airport security and Gardai at Shannon failed to search or investigate US military aircraft at Shannon when requested to do so by Edward Horgan and Conor Cregan. As usual there was no effective security in place to protect civilian airport users from the threat of terrorist attack, and no precautions were in place to protect the public from blast and flying debris in the event of fire and or explosions involving one of these warplanes.
The army guard as usual were sitting in an army jeep parked far too close to the Navy warplane. There was no garda or airport security staff at the checkpoint on the road to the airport, as usual, except during peaceful protests.
Edward Horgan submitted a formal written request to the Gardai at Shannon Garda Station.
Conor Cregan also submitted a formal written complaint concerning a member of the Shannon airport security staff who refused to identify himself or to show his Warrant Card, as he was attempting to prevent us from taking photograhps.
