Where do the election candidates stand on Shannon?

US troops are continuing in ever greater numbers to use Shannon
airport on their way to Iraq. Over 330, 000 use the airport a year and
this is set to increase with a further 100 flights a month.
Why is Ireland participating in Bush and Blair's occupation of Iraq?
Where do the parties stand on this?

The Irish Anti war movement is campaigning for candidates to sign a
pledge to not participate in any future government that continues to allow US
troops to use Shannon.

In our consituency , Dublin North Central, three candidates have so far
signed this pledge: *Patricia McKenna, Joe Costello *and* Tony Gregory .
We are inviting all the North Central candidates to come along to this open
meeting and make their position clear.

Please pass on this message to friends.
