 ''What I am fighting here is a criminal government that has been involved in an illegal war. We have
facilitated more than half the US troops that went to fight in an illegal war. Also they've
turned our Constitution to shreds. They've not allowed our Gardai and security forces in
Shannon to go on board these planes and even find out what was [in] them. They have had no
regard for the safety of the citizens living [near] Shannon and it's been reported that
there is a huge arsenal of weapons flying over at least Shannon and there is no concern for
the safety of the citizens in that area.
So, I will be fighting this case vigorously,
but as I say, I need support, very strongly I need support, and I call on anybody who might
be free next Tuesday or whatever court dates are set in the future, to come and support, to
come and picket outside, to write about it, to do media interviews, and to put the word [out] that Ireland has been complicit in an illegal war, despite the will of the Irish
people.''

After a long period of preparation conducted in a refreshingly open and transparent manner, a diverse range of up to 40 citizens groups, organisations and NGOs are preparing to meet in Dublin for the Irish Social Forum Summit of Co-Operation and Solidarity.The Irish Social Forum is affiliated to the World Social Forum, a Civil Society initiative which developed in opposition to the World Economic Forum. The WSF meets each year at the same time as the WEF and poses an increseangly coherent civil society alternative to the neoliberal economic agenda which holds sway in Davos. The Co-operation and Solidatity summit was planned as an Irish civil society response to a WEF summit on the theme of Competition, which had been planned to take place in Dublin this October, but which was subsequently cancelled. The Irish Social Forum website has full details of workshops and plenary sessions which are taking place from 17th - 19th October in and around UCD. UCD coincidentally had a recent eventful visit from a leading Irish cheearleader for the WEF economic agenda - Mary Harney. - Full ISF Programme - Indymedia interview with ISF activist
