Despite overwhelming public opposition, more than 2.5 million US troops have been facilitated at Shannon Airport since 2003 with the support of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael to conduct bloody wars in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Yemen, killing hundreds of thousands of people. The public is paying for this. How much are the Defence Forces spending to facilitate the US war machine? Does the Government intend to continue to spend that money when we now have a racist warmonger in the White House intent on unleashing even more war on people across the world?
