Anti-war protestors Margaretta D'Arcy and Niall Farrell each received a two week suspended sentence from Judge Patrick Durcan at Ennis Court on Tuesday, 24 June, following their conviction for 'interfering with the proper use of an airport'. On 1 September 2013 both peace activists had carried out a protest by going onto the runway at Shannon Airport wearing bright orange 'Gitmo suits' and carrying placards that detailed their objection to a prospective invasion of Syria. They were then detained by the Airport Police and handed over to the Gardai who arrested and charged them under (4.1 (14) of the Airport Byelaws (1994).
