I've taken six calls frommainstream media in the last 24 hours in relation to this vigil, without putting out a media release.
There is obviously a lot of interest in Shannon due to the release of government stats that 333,000 U..S troops passed trhough the airport in 2005.
What is no so obvious is a movement willing to get out in public and denounce the government's ongoing policies in supporting the U.S. war effort.
If you find yourself downtown this afternoon deop into the vigil for any length of time you are available.
Thanx

The picket went ok, 15 on it. Also managed to keep 5 Garda and a Branchman busy (probably another one hiding). they must have expected an occupation.
