Lelia Doolan is encouraging us all to stand up (& walk) for peace. Join us from 31st March.

At 91 years, Lelia has seen too much of the devastation caused by wars, apartheid and genocide. She is donning her (ethically sourced!)  walking shoes to blaze a trail from Shannon Airport to Dáil Éireann.

Joined by community groups and peace activists along the old road to Dublin, they will express the frustration, shame and anger felt by the many Irish stalwarts who have for over 30 years, (since 1981!), regularly protested at Shannon at the use of the airport by US military planes - whose personnel and cargos the Irish government refuses to inspect. 

Starting on March 31st from Shannon Airport, the walk should arrive in Dublin around April 14th/15th.

The Irish government’s financial and political cap-tipping to the US government results in turning a blind eye to our obligations under international law, thus making itself complicit in the deaths of tens of thousands of children in Gaza and most recently in Iran.

It has also arrested, jailed, fined and currently confines to Court censorship many of its own citizens for their opposition to this current practice.

This is a walk for peace, for closing Shannon airport to US military planes and personnel, to passing the Occupied Territories Bill, and to protecting our national neutrality from war mongers.

All are welcome to join for a step, a mile, a song!
