Irish Government signs secret treaties with United States
by kronoc
Looks like the Irish Government have been up to their old tricks again. Although officially neutral, Ireland allowed itself to be used as a refuelling point for United States military before, during and after the Iraq war. Even today there is a large amount of American military traffic though Shannon Airport. All of this was done amid much public disquiet at the almost complete abandoning of neutrality without a vote (parlimentary or otherwise). It seems now that the Government has gone even further than people thought, by secretly signing treaties with the United States without telling the Dail!
