Danger, Danger, Do Not Fly

There’s a brilliant radio show every Sunday at 11:00 am ET in New York City on WBAI called Radio Free Eireann with Malachy McCourt and John McDonagh, both of whom are veterans. The February 12, 2023, show featured Edward Horgan from Ireland speaking about his and Dan Dowling’s recent trial in Dublin to face charges for criminal damage and trespass at Shannon Airport in 2016. You’ll hear some Irish music and Ed Horgan’s brilliant summery of his and Dan Dowling’s trial and why there is ongoing resistance to U.S. military use of a neutral country’s (Ireland) civilian airport being used to ferry troops, weapons and renditioned prisoners to and from the Middle East, a clear violation of international laws on neutrality.

Malachy Gerard McCourt is an American-Irish actor, writer, one-time pub owner, and politician. He was the 2006 Green Party of New York candidate for governor in New York State.

John McDonagh has been driving a Yellow Cab on the mean streets of New York for over 30 years, and is well known for his activism and political satire. He is an actor and playwright.

The show can be found in the WBAI Radio Archives.
