A group of anti-war protesters marched on Shannon Airport early this morning to show their opposition to the US military’s use of the airport.
A group of around 15 women embarked on a 2 kilometre walk to the main airport around 7 o’clock this morning, led by 82-year-old peace activist Margaretta D’Arcy, who’s previously been jailed for making an illegal incursion onto the runway at Shannon in 2012.
The women had been taking part in a 25-hour peace vigil at a camp at Drumgeely close to the airport.
