Sceala Irish Craic Forum Discussion:     JFK was assassination target in Ireland

In the just released declassified state papers of 30 year rule it shows that JFK was the subject of three separate assassination threats during his visit to Ireland in 1963.

One of the death threats claimed a sniper would target Kennedy as his motorcade traveled from Dublin Airport to the residence of the Irish president at the start of his visit. The second warned a bomb at Shannon Airport, in southwest Ireland, would detonate as Air Force One was about to depart. The third JFK assassination threat was phoned to a newspaper and indicated that Kennedy would be attacked at Dublin Airport, although the method wasn't specified.

The state documents also reflect the Irish state officials desire to impress both U.S. visitors and onlookers in Britain. In a letter, Commissioner Daniel Costigan, the commander of the Ireland's national police force in 1963, described the Kennedy tour as "the most important visit to this country since the establishment of the state, with worldwide publicity. British journalists are likely to be ready to criticize any fault in arrangements." He added that although a JFK assassination was unlikely, "we cannot overlook the possibility" of an assassination attempt.
