She was jailed for refusing to sign a bond to uphold the law and keep away from unauthorised zones at Shannon airport.

UPDATE: Following her release, Ms D’Arcy said:
“It is a fact that illegal ‘extraordinary rendition’ CIA teams travelled via Shannon en route to kidnap individuals and transfer them to torture venues. This is in contravention of the European Convention on Human Rights and the UN Convention against Torture. Our Government has turned a blind eye. They are complicit in these crimes.”
“President Michael D Higgins has called on Irish citizens to have ‘conversations’ in public places as part of active citizenship. I have sat on a runway, had a court hearing and gone to prison in an attempt to have this ‘conversation’.”
“I am facing another trial in exactly three months’ time. I hope to continue this conversation/dialogue with the Irish people and our Government and judiciary, and to highlight what we have sacrificed as Irish and world citizens by allowing this colonising of our airport for illegal and immoral purposes.”
“I will also be highlighting the conditions in our prisons, which I have unfortunately been able to experience in both Limerick and Dublin.”

Eoin Purcell, of New Island, writes:
“We’re leaving out free copies of Being Alexander, Diarmuid Ó Conghaile’s debut novel, [above] in some key places around the city today and tomorrow in see-through sandwich bags with stickers saying “TAKE ME READ ME I’M FREE” stuck on them. Set in boom-time Dublin, the book is about Alexander Vespucci, a man who is failing at life despite his every effort. Even when he tries to pull it back from the brink, Alexander cannot quite manage it. It’s a book about life, about knowing and noticing things and a satire of Irish society at the height of our recent madness. It has an anarchic wit, an electric pace and is fuelled by a chaotic energy and a dark humour. Diarmuid has really made Dublin a part of the story which is why we are doing this. We hope to give a wider audience a flavour of the book which we think is really great.”
