Queen Elizabeth of England has left Cork after a historic four-day State visit which is being heralded as a “resounding success” by officials from both English and Irish governments.
The security surrounding her State visit has so far precluded 85-year-old monarch from meeting the public. Despite the massive security operation surrounding the royal visit, which is to cost in the region of €30 million, officials are already labelling it a “resounding success”.
Up to 10,000 Garda and Defence Forces personnel have been involved in the largest security operation ever mounted by the State.
Only a small number of people held a peaceful rally in protest at the Queen’s visit in Cashel, while she was there. Many more protest were held before she came.
Personally I say: “Get the hell out o Éire ye dictator queen!” I think she had no business visiting Ireland, since she’s responsible for the suffering of many Irish in the past. Plus she’s still oppressing Northern Ireland. On the other hand I must admit she’s a very brave woman. She went to Ireland despite the fact the IRA threatened to take her live. Let’s hope this visit brought the Irish and English just a little bit closer…
