Calls For Urgent Checks At Shannon Airport Amid 80% Surge In US Troops

Calls are being made for an urgent enforcement campaign at Shannon Airport to ensure the US military is not violating international law at the Clare base. New figures show there's been an 80% increase in US troops transiting through Shannon since the onset of the Iran War. In March, 3,604 troops travelled through Shannon, according to The Irish Times. Shannonwatch Co-Founder Edward Horgan has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that he believes Ireland is complicit in war crimes in the Middle East.
