Legal challenge to use of Shannon
March 24, 2003
(12:17) A retired Irish Army Officer has issued High Court proceedings against the Government in an attempt to prevent Shannon Airport being used as a refuelling stop for aircraft carrying American troops to Iraq.
Edward Horgan, a former Commandant with an address at Newtown, Castletroy in County Limerick, was ordered by the President of the High Court to notify the Chief State Solicitor this afternoon of his intended action.
The matter was adjourned until Wednesday.
