FF's Eoin Ryan's opinion on use of shannon and idea about confronting councillors and wannabeMEPs

Eoin Ryan fully supports the US military use of Shannon airport, he told Indymedia at 8am this morning while asking for votes at Pearse station, Dublin.

The newspapers on the stand beside him all had headlines about the systematic human rights abuse and breaches of the geneva convention perpetrated by US soldiers.

When answering, he could not even turn around to fully face his constituent.



*idea:* how about confronting, emailing and ringing local councillors and wanna be MEPs and asking them bout this and local issues eg road through Tara valley, Dun Laoghaire baths...

All the councillors numbers are in the section 15 freedom of information manuals, most of which are on-line. I'd say the MEP's have websites.

I know its working inside the box and representative politics is failing us but might be worth a call or too. or not... there'll be a chance for a shannonside picnic in June anyway.

now if only anyone had seen that Royston fellah . . .
