Date: 26/02/04 PRESIDENT George W. Bush is to travel to Ireland for the EU-US summit, hosted by Prime Minister Bertie Ahern and scheduled for 25-26 June, the Dublin government announced yesterday (25 February). But critics of the US military occupation of Iraq promptly described the visit as an attempt to curry favour with the mammoth Irish-American community ahead of November's presidential election. Dublin Socialist MEP Proinsias de Rossa dubbed the invitation to Bush "an affront to the 100,000 Irish people who, just a year ago, marched against US aggression in Iraq". Foreign Minister Brian Cowen, meanwhile, said a joint EU-US plan to combat AIDS could be on the summit's agenda. US President Bush will attend the EU-US Summit in Dublin, 25-26 June 2004. |
