Court hears Government failed to ‘uphold duty to prevent genocide’ at Shannon
By allowing Shannon Airport to be used as a transit point for the US military, the Government of Ireland has failed to uphold its duty to prevent genocide. That is according to Pro-Palestinian activist, Emily Cathcart (23) who made her comment to Det Garda Colm Moriarty after charge and caution before Ennis District Court on Wednesday. Ms Cathcart of North View, Knocknagin Rd, Balbriggan, Co Dublin along with two co-accused, Kaspar Aiden Cantwell Strattra (23) and Conán Kavanagh (23) were each charged with entering the apron area and Taxi 11 of Shannon airport on November 22 last and causing the closure of the airport, contrary to Section 47 of the Air Navigation and Transport (Amendment) Act.
