A demonstration in solidarity with 79-year-old jailed peace activist Margaretta D'Arcy will take place in Shannon today.

Miss D’Arcy has been in the Limerick Prison for the past 10 days for trespassing on the runway of Shannon Airport in opposition to U.S Military movement through Shannon.

Margaretta refused to sign a bond to uphold the law for two years and stay out of unauthorised zones at Shannon Airport, as a result, her sentence was not suspended.

Shannonwatch representative John Lannon says Ireland is a neutral country and is urging people to show their support at 2 o clock
