US troop carrier Omni Air N378AX arrived at Shannon airport yesterday for refuelling at about 3.20pm. It came from Robert Gray air base in Texas and them flew on to Kuwait, which is the main distribution point for US soldiers in the Middle East. In the meantime it now on its way back from Kuwait and will probably refuel again at Shannon airport this afternoon on its way back to the USA.

It is estimated that over one million children have died across the Middle East due to war related reasons since the First Gulf War in 1990/91. Ireland is complicit in this modern day slaughter of the innocents by allowing the US military to use our airspace and Shannon Airport.
