With her merciless slaying of the Freedom of Speech Act, Bridget Phillipson has shown herself to be a far more brutal political combatant than the enfeebled Tories. If you want to win the culture war, this is how to do it.

RSF will oppose any British Royal visit

category national | miscellaneous | press release author Monday December 29, 2008 15:19author by Saoirse - Republican Sinn Feinauthor email saoirse at iol dot ieauthor address 223 Parnell St Dublin 1author phone 01 8729747 Report this post to the editors

Statement by the Vice President of Republican Sinn Féin Des Dalton

Republican Sinn Fein answer to the chairman of the ‘Irish Tourist Industry Confederation’ Dick Bourke iquoted in the Sunday Tribune of December 28 as calling on the Mayor of Killarney to issue an invitation to the British ‘Prince of Wales’ Charles Windsor to visit Killarney in 2011. Such a visit would mark the 150th anniversary of the visit by the then Queeen of England Victoria – the ‘Famine Queen’ - to Killarney in 1861.


Once more Republican Sinn Féin places on the public record our intention and commitment to oppose a visit by any member of the British Royal family to Kerry or any part of Ireland as long as our nation remains partitioned and occupied by the British state.

Mr Bourke’s intervention is but a manifestation of the ongoing attempts to normalise British rule in Ireland. The British occupation of the north eastern part of Ireland is neither normal or acceptable and Irish Republicans will not cease to use every opportunity to highlight that fact.

hopefully the spirit of dan keating is still with the Kerry people and they will all turn out if this ever goes ahead.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England is welcome to Ireland and hopefully she will lay a wreath at the GPO and Arbour Hill and the Garden of Rememberance before laying a wreath at the Irish National War Memorial Gardens to the dead of the Great War.
I think that would be a beautiful gesture of reconciliation between the two nations of the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
That would draw a line under the 800 years of conflict between Ireland and Britain.

"There is a pub called 'The Prince of Wales' at 45 Great Queen Street, presumably named after the future George IV who was the Grand Master of the Freemasons in 1809".

Jim, unless Ireland has recently turned into a dictatorship - I'm pretty sure you don't speak on behalf of the people of Ireland. I for one see no need for an irrelevant person, who stands for imperialism and who soaks up a vast wealth which could be otherwise distributed to the homeless in Britain to come to Ireland.

I'm personally not a fan of RSF - But I'm with them on this. I'm not going to spend our tax for to welcome members of the Royal family to Ireland. Especially not when we can't afford 10 million for cancer vaccines.

Those who oppose Brit royalty visiting must see some "signifigance" in Royalty.

To me they are ordinary people with titles and airs and graces!
They are just a relic of a bygone age.

They can visit here if they like.

Pat,
You have just converted me.
I am an Irish socialist Republican and I am always open to the arguments of others.
I don't CARE if they want to visit Ireland. Let them. But we also have a right to protest and to highlight the continued British occupation of the island of Ireland. The Royal visits are part of a wider policy of normalisation that cannot be allowed to continue.
