It has been reported that the English Queen, Elizabeth Windsor, is to visit Armagh City on Maundy Thursday. A spokesperson for Republican Sinn Féin has said that they are opposed to all British Royal visits to any part of Ireland.
National Publicity Officer, Richard Walsh, said: “We are on record as being opposed to any British Royal visit to our country whilst England continues to illegally claim Ireland. Mrs. Windsor's visit to Armagh City can only be viewed as a softening-up exercise for a State visit by the Crowned Head of England to the 26-Counties in the near future – something which Bertie Ahern mooted recently.
“Normal relations between Ireland and England can only develop after the Brits have permanently left our shores. Until this happens England can only be viewed as a hostile power.”

Eire Saor!
Euskal Herria Askatu!
actually, the Queen is very welcome. I have no objection whatsoever to her visiting any part of our country. On the other hand, RSF and its mad, militarist cohorts are not welcome by me (or the majority of Irish people), and I would be very much obliged if they would fuck off.
You're dead right, Jose.
Independentzia!
Saoirse!
God bless her majesty, so long as she stays up in her part of Ireland and doesn't come down here blocking the traffic.
