Ploughshares
action
comes
to Ireland
The
first
ploughshares
action
took
place
on September
9, 1980

eight

entered
the
General
Electric
Plant
in King
of Prussia,
Pennsylvania
and
hammered
on nose
cones
from
nuclear
warheads
and
poured
blood
on documents.

did
this
as a
way
of enacting
the
words
of Isaiah
(2:4)
'to
beat
swords
into
ploughshares'.
