The Labour Party is consistent in its opposition. It is opposed to the future use of Shannon without a further UN resolution, while at the same time it is opposed to the use of Shannon even if there is a further UN resolution. I admire the Labour Party which is consistently inconsistent in its foreign policy. The Green Party has once again shown us its Peter Pan style policies – lofty ideals with no responsibility. What is even more confusing is the fact that it condoned recent acts of vandalism and public disorder in Shannon which contributed to the abandonment of campingn of genuine, unaffiliated peace activists.
