Ms Margaretta D'Arcy:

The Garda Síochána intimidates people who come to this very innocent one hour monthly vigil, by stopping them and noting their car registration number and asking to see their licences. This frightens people. They do not want to come to the vigil if they feel that suddenly everything they do has to be written down. It is a way of limiting the numbers who come to our monthly vigils.

I have heard the way the Garda Síochána discusses Dr. Edward Horgan. When we went to Ennis to make a complaint, the Garda behaved with total disdain and asked why we wanted to make a complaint. It was really humiliating for somebody such as Dr. Edward Horgan who after all had some kind of status. He has served in the Irish Army and defended the country. Equally, when I was there they said they saw that Ed Horgan slinking around. They have a personal disdain towards Dr. Edward Horgan and Dr. John Lannon, which then catches on. People regard us as losers who are not getting anywhere. As I stated at the very beginning, we are a small group and we are moving forward and in the end it will turn out that we are absolutely right that the airport should not be used by the military.
