Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of urgent national interest requiring urgent consideration, namely, on the fourth anniversary of the illegal invasion of Iraq, 78% of Iraqis now oppose the President of the US and allied troops, 69% believe their presence makes the security situation worse and the man famous for toppling the statute of Saddam Hussein in 2003 has said the Americans are worse than the dictatorship, every day is worse than the previous and the scale of the civilian death toll, which now stands at nearly 60,000, and the urgent need for the Government to reverse its alliance with the US Administration in the so-called war on terror and, in particular, the war on Iraq, by ending the use of Irish airports and airspace by US military and intelligence agencies.
