International Womens Disarmament Day

The Unmanageables held a Mourning Tea at the Irish Aviation Department this morning as part of the International Womens Day for Disarmament.

Veils were worn in mourning for the lives lost to War.

The location was chosen by the Women to symbolise our disgust at the Irish Aviation Authority's facilitation of the continued illegal war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan.

Blood on our hands symbolises our culpability in war and rendition flights.

We say Our Government is not mandated to utilise Shannon in such a manner.

Lady Unmanageable say's "Out Damn Bertie ! ".
With wind in our sails
