Details of schedule for the establishment of peace camp in Shannon for Bush visit.
Directions to Hurler’s Pub: The First Camp:

From Dublin:

Come off new roundabout at beginning of new Limerick by-pass. Finnegan’s pub is at this roundabout. Follow signs for Limerick/Annacotty. Keep going past Lodge Hotel on right and Superquinn Shopping Centre on left. Hurler’s Pub is just beyond the roundabout at Esso garage. Most Dublin to Limerick busses stop here.

Phone: [phone] at this juncture to get to the place (don’t use this number before then).

This camping area is available from Monday 21st for people who wish to come down and help with the establishment of the peace camp (henceforth second camp). The first camp is totally legal, on land belonging to one of us, but is on the far side of Limerick, a considerable distance from Shannon. It is also available during the protests.

We particularly need people to come down for the Thursday to take the second camp. Which is to be on public land, in the Shannon area. We are aiming to have it established before Friday June 25th, to be ready for any influx of people, to have it held before people arrive for the demonstrations looking for somewhere to stay or to know to implement contingencies. In particular we need volunteers with vans/cars for the Thursday.

Such people should get to the first camp at least by Thursday morning.

2. The Broad Majestic Shannon

The last time I saw you was down at the Greeks
There was whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
You sang me a song as pure as the breeze
Blowing up the road to Glenaveigh
I sat for a while at the cross at Finnoe
Where young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom
Heard the men coming home from the fair at Shinrone
Their hearts in Tipperary wherever they go

Take my hand, and dry your tears babe
Take my hand, forget your fears babe
There's no pain, there's no more sorrow
They're all gone, gone in the years babe

I sat for a while by the gap in the wall
Found a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball
Heard the cards being dealt, and the rosary called
And a fiddle playing Sean Dun na nGall
And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks
There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl
About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball

So I walked as day was dawning
Where small birds sang and leaves were falling
Where we once watched the row boats landing
By the broad majestic Shannon
