Protests mount in Ireland over jailing of Margaretta D'Arcy
First topic message reminder :
Protests mount in Ireland over jailing of Margaretta D'Arcy
Margaretta D'Arcy, the acclaimed Irish writer and peace activist, is serving a three-month prison sentence in Ireland for her protests at the US military use of Shannon airport.
She could have avoided the jail term if she had agreed to sign a bond to uphold the law and stay away from unauthorised zones at Shannon. She refused to do so and was taken into custody last Wednesday (15 January).
But the Irish authorities have been confronted with a torrent of protest, and a measure of embarrassment, since D'Arcy, who is 79 and suffering from cancer, was incarcerated in Limerick prison.
She has been visited by Sabina Higgins, wife of Ireland's president, Michael D Higgins. And protests on behalf of D'Arcy have been growing day by day. Some 240 artists have called for D'Arcy's release, including journalist Nell McCafferty, film-maker Lelia Doolan and former UN assistant secretary-general Denis Halliday.
Yesterday's demonstration outside the Dail - as in the video above - was attended by several politicians, journalists, writers and supportive members of the public.
Former staff of the late, lamented Irish Press will spot one of their old colleagues, the poet Hugh McFadden, among the protestors.
D'Arcy is no stranger to prison, having been arrested on dozens of occasions down the years. She was a campaigner against the Vietnam War and British involvement in Northern Ireland. She also joined the Greenham Commons peace camp.
Her latest arrest has certainly heightened interest in, and opposition to, what D'Arcy has called "acts of unfathomable criminality" by the American military at Shannon.
She lives in Galway and, apart from receiving treatment for cancer, also suffers from arthritis in her neck.

The lady is an inspiration and has stuck to her principles for so many years.
This has a lot more info on why she is doing it:

I have every right to say what I think is best suited for protesting by the Irish people, being as half my family is from there Tess, being as what I speak of has much history with my family and pain, hence why it is more important to me than some transport planes, which I think is a waste of time

Right Queen, bearing in mind that the Irish haven't got a hive mind as you said, Didge has the right to tell you what to protest about anyway, after all, it's his inheritance!

Re: Protests mount in Ireland over jailing of Margaretta D'Arcy
People are happy to see an old woman locked up for a protest but ignore the use of Shannon Airport by the US military in breach of international regulations on rendition flights and the transit of US military aircraft and troops? Was she armed? Was she threatening to blow someone up?
Wrong priorities I would say.

Are you saying that no military transport aircraft or aircraft carrying troops went through Shannon Airport?

Bang of out order to say that sassy, so people cannot be witty now because of your treatment. Yes I hate you are suffering at the moment but don't pull that guilt bullshit on me, that is low beyond belief
So you have protested as many others have, so what, none of which has any relevance to the debate, or my points I have made, being as the problems in Northern Ireland matter

She asked if I had booked by flight to Shannon Airport, knowing full well I couldn't even if I wanted to. Right, and you thought it witty. After all the 'I'm sorry for your condition' etc. Got nothing to do with guilt. You have no need to feel guilty about me.

Who the hell do you think you are? What right have you got to tell her what her priorities should be. As she has been an activist for many years, make films about things, written books about injustices, I think she has a damn sight more right to decide what her priorities are than you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, I think that Margaretta D'Arcy cared more about the cause that she was protesting about than she did about herself.
Why would it be anything other than that?

People through the centuries, especially women, have got things done by bringing attention to it by breaking the law. We wouldn't have the vote unless they had.

To be honest Irn this thread has descended into "I've protested for the cause", "I'm a better protester and more committed than you" and "You are weak willed and never protested against anything which makes you a bad person"
More about the protester and little about the cause itself

Who knows but to me a more pressing matter in Ireland that needs 100% is the troubles still being done by the Real IRA, part of the job has been done to end troubles there but more needs to be done.

So this thread has descended into discussing another member who said that she has been an active protester in the past. And where has this member said what you have written above?

Like I said. Ignore what is going on at Shannon airport in that military transport aircraft and troops have been channeled through Ireland and just let it go on. Some people don't agree with that and are prepared to protest against it. She's an old woman and hardly likely to be an armed terrorist or a physical threat to anyone.

Irn, sorry the belief of troops being passed through Ireland really does not concern me in the slightest, sorry being again how the conflict up North has affected my family I consider that problem insignificant to what I see as the real need for peace protesting with the troubles in the north

Thanks Nems, sorry I meant to say you would not say a thing like that, though I know you knew what I meant
Anyway back to the debate.
Irn, sorry the belief of troops being passed through Ireland really does not concern me in the slightest, sorry being again how the conflict up North has affected my family I consider that problem insignificant to what I see as the real need for peace protesting with the troubles in the north
It does not concern you Didge but it concerns an awful lot more people who are prepared to protest and speak up about what is going on at Shannon Airport and why shouldn't they?.

No worries Didge the more things change the more they stay the same as the saying goes

I agree with you on what is highlighted above because that's what will happen at Shannon Airport if people don't speak out and question what is going on.

Affecting millions of people, not just hundreds. Why anyone thinks they have the right to tell someone else what they should protest about is beyond me. Talk about ego.
