IAWM won't let this government off the hook

To mark the end of Ireland's tenure on the UN security council the Irish Anti War Movement will picket the Dept. of Foreign Affairs, St. Stephen's Green on Tuesday 31 December at 1pm.

The picket will serve as a reminder of the craven role played by the Irish establishment in kowtowing to the drive towards war in Iraq by the Bush administration.
However the end of Ireland's tenure on the security council does not mean an end to its responsability in this matter. The availability of Shannon Airport landing and refuelling facilities for US warplanes and the likely public support by this government for the war in Iraq will be met by ceaseless and growing opposition by the Irish Public. Come to the lunchtime picket and bring your friends and workmates!
