Queen’s gesture at Republican site wins raves

She's back in her palace giggling "their easily convinced"

@Daithi - like I said before, shes gone, away home, so relax. You're still here, as am I and the sky didnt fall in. You'll have loads of time to ferment plenty of angst and loathing before the next Royal arrives. Who knows, William and Kate maybe? More likely to be one of the "lessers" engaged on Trade Mission and such like!! Still, A Royal by any other name is still a Royal, eh!!!!!

@ Barneyjo- No I believe my 'sickness' is actually disgust from some of the comments you and others like you continue to post regarding this 'unethical' royal visit. Anyone have a Bromo?

GoergeD, covering your embarrassment by trying to be funny cause you can't read irish. ouch. The words you wrote earlier were backwards, irish does not go in a straight line like english.

Towngate wrote: "A simple display of Majestic Humility.Thank you,Ma'am, from the heart of my Irish Bottom!" Well said, sir.

Momma G: Is that gibberish you wrote supposed to be Irish? It's like something that a monkey fooling around on a computer wrote. Was that what happened?

To those who wanted an apology: PM Cameron apologized for Bloody Sunday, and PM Blair apologized for Britain's role in the Famine. Would it really have been any more meaningful if the 80 year old queen, who holds no real power, apologized for each and every atrocity committed by the crown since the time of Henry II?

@Daithi et al- could it be that your sickness bout was brought on by the many inconvenient truths you are obliged to swallow in the course of this visit? Dont worry, in two days she'll be gone and then you can go back to producing your own natural wholesome psuedo republican "take" on things that impresses so many across the world!

Every where her royal tragic visited she was surrounded by her shameless Irish cohorts. To have labour party ministers bow and scrape to a British monarch would bring tears to their eyes of Larkin and Connolly. She is so loved by the Irish, the spineless authorities cleared Dublin of all it's citizens.

i gcuimhne ar fad a throid ar feadh gaeilge irish saor in aisce.

So very well said Sirpeter, and quote ( the way the queen bowed her head after she laid the wreath was exceptionally powerfull ) jasus everyone does that in remembrance. What do you people want the irish to do, go down on our knees and say..oh thank you your majesty...for what ? We are still waiting.

@jerrydonovan..Let me tell you something.The reason a hell of alot of Irish people look over our shoulder is because the ordinary Irish people have been stabbed in the back many times by foreign and domestic traitors. Tune in to the visit and have a good look at who they are!!

Thank God that the vast majority are willing to look and move to the future.For those who are contionually looking back I would remind them that the easiest way to trip over something is to always keep your head facing backwards.Also,like a picture a gesture can be worth a thousand words.

This episode of 'Irish History' was so moving, I had to move to the toilet to puke my guts up. What a pathetic display.

She should apologise. Even if her advisors haven't approved of it. Even Mary Robinson said it wasn't appropriate. I don't know why.
