Don’t understand the mentality of a people that would have a Queen, or why Ireland would want her there.

For Antoman 10:58 AM Post- I'm home alone. I'll bet my next door neighbor heard me laugh. That's the funniest post I've read in a long time.

@drTrelawney - an 'off-the-cuff' comment at a commemoration ceremony by Tony Blair does not constitute an apology - but then what would a fake Irishman know. Póg mo thion agus have a nice day.

Amazed and awed at the prophetic gifts of some of the posters on this topic. Not only an insight into ‘judgement day’, but also instinctively know what the ‘Irish People’ will or will not accept in relation to apologies. Pity they know nothing about how constitutional monarchies, or even titular presidencies, work. The Head of State will do and say exactly what the politicians and speechwriters want him or her to do and say…it will be nuanced and calculated…and that’s why if she has to shake hands with one of the guys who ordered the murder of her uncle, she’ll do it, and if they want her to make an apology, she’ll make one. That’s the job they do.

Recognise a false Irish man below! 'drTrealawney'...
An Apology from the Queen of England will ever be the only Apology accepted by the Irish People!..The only Apology that carries weight!

What does Trealach mean "NO apology has ever been offered or received for the genocide caused by the Famine"? Tony Blair offered just such an apology in 1997 when, while broadcasting to a Famine commemoration, he blamed "those who governed in London". Clearly, nothing will keep nuts like this happy.

@Trealach - it seems you have been out-voted. I hope she does go to Croke Park so that she can see at first hand what an aspiring grass-roots community movement can aspire to. Who knows, there may even be another apology forthcoming!!

For God's sake move to the future.During the Irish "civil"war numerous atrocities were committed by both sides,did they ever apologize to each other?I agree with CitizenWhy.

It all sounds good...as she may go to Cork..why not a quick trip to a lovely pub ,near Ballygarrett,where she could relax with a nice drink,talk more GAA and listen to the owner serenade her with a lovely Irish song..."Because I love you so..." ..that would be unique..
I must contact Enda...
