The last resort and unacceptable solution is war. The Irish people are neutral and they wish to remain that way and see a peaceful solution emerge. Those people who marched last Saturday are sincere in their beliefs and want to prevent war. However, in some cases the peace movement at Shannon has been hijacked by others, including party political organisations, who wish to further advance their own agendas and not further the cause of peace. The Government has provided facilities at Shannon Airport which are in keeping with international agreements. As an independent State, Ireland is entitled to provide these facilities to assist in implementing UN Resolution 1441.
