Ten people have been charged with public order offences following yesterday's anti-war protest at Shannon Airport.
A number of those arrested were detained by gardaí following minor scuffles in the crowd.
The accused appeared before Tulla District Court in County Clare last night after being arrested during minor scuffles with gardaí. The protesters were demonstrating at the continued use by American military forces of the facilities at Shannon Airport.
Several political parties withdrew support from the demonstration following media reports of the intentions of Anti-war group, the Grassroots Network Against War (GNAW) which called on people to take part in a "mass non-violent civil disobedience" and stage a "mass trespass."
