Ms Helen Mahony:

The position of the IPSC, in common with many people in the country, is that the US should not have unfettered use of Shannon Airport and the ability to bring whatever it wishes through Shannon Airport. Similarly, the airspace should not be used to transport munitions. Two of the key areas of active complicity by this country relate to the transport of arms to Israel. There are actually three, because there is also the export of dual-use goods to Israel. However, the funding of munitions, the IDF and all of the war crimes is one of the key areas of active complicity. As individuals, as committees and as organisations, we all have to do whatever we can to stop this. It can be stopped. It is not complicated. We really have to work at every level. I appeal to people who voted against the emergency motion and the Bill to look to their consciences when it comes before the Dáil again. This is a moral issue as well as public one.
