Council fiddle while Rome burns

In the week that Aer Lingus announced their intention to reduce their current headcount of almost 300 staff at Shannon airport to just 5, along with a small maintenance crew, the Town's Council have decided that it is time to drag up the hoary old chestnut of rendition. 

At last night's meeting of the Shannon Town Council a motion was unanimously passed calling for inspection of suspected rendition flights passing through the state.

Amnesty International welcomed the decision of the Council in declaring themselves 'rendition-free'.

Have any of the believers in rendition flights ever asked themselves what foreign government would risk the fallout of an aircraft with unmanifested passengers going 'tech' on Irish soil ? 

Perhaps STC would be better employed highlighting their efforts to secure the future of the airport rather than trying to undermine it.
