Is the Republic of Ireland taking a huge risk opening yet another airport for U.S military re-fueling?

Question

Republic of Ireland Re-fuel U.S military aircraft on route to Iraq at Shannon Airport now proposes to open Knock airport for same purpose.Ireland use to be a neutral country until it was taken over a few years ago.

Answer 1

The most disgusting thing about this is that nothing is going to change after this year's elections. Any Fine Gael led gouvernment will l**k the criminal US gouvernment's boots as assiduously as the present one.

Answer 2

Ireland is a neutral country you ignorent person.  And please tell me when was Ireland taken over a few years ago?? Stop giving out false and misleading information and get educated.

Answer 3

I agree. How can a neutral Ireland justify fuelling a countries air force so that they can go and bomb another country ;killing innocent people in the process. It is making extreme islamists look twice at our country and decide that we are helping their enemy. By having anything to do with America and this (unnecessary) war we are making ourselves a target for terrorism. I think we, as Irish people, should make a stand against this. I don't remember any referendum where we voted to give up our neutrality,

Answer 4

i think it is a discrase allowing these kilers into our country. Neutrality,what does that mean to the Ireland of today, nobody cares anymore. The usa need to be stopped from refueling.

Answer 5

They must be getting some benefit for doing it?  Plus how would they be taking a huge risk?, don't you want Ireland and the US to be allies?

Answer 6

some neutral country eh?

ooooh... got to keep the americans sweet, they might 'liberate us' if we dont.

Answer 7

Ireland is a sovereign country, they can open any airport they wish, for any purpose they choose. America isn't the bully, Islamofacisism is!
