Lelia Doolan to walk from Shannon Airport to Dáil in protest

Galway filmmaker and political activist Lelia Doolan is set to undertake a peace walk across Ireland in protest against the US military’s use of Shannon Airport.

The 91-year-old will walk from Shannon Airport to the Dáil, to express the frustration and shame felt by many Irish people.

Lelia will be joined by community groups and activists along the old route to Dublin.

They will start on the 31st of March and expect to be outside the Dail around the 14/15th of April.
