/// if the irish hate us that much why are so many living here ///

One could say that about other nationalities that live here, not just the Irish.

Don't respect our laws, run about stabbing each other, some are little better than savages.

well the news today that there has been a bomb on a bus de-fused by the irish army shows that the threat is real...

[rockyracoon]

What is the point of a bomb on a bus. Her Maj is hardly going to be on the number 29 is she, the only victims of that device going off would be innocent Irish people.

One hopes that those who call upon moderate Muslims to march against the extremists will also call upon the moderate Irish to do the same.

I may be waiting a long time to hear that call...

where did you get the idea that any trouble that could be caused would have anything in the world to do with the IRA? Link please?

[DTCwordfan]

Did you see the fly pass from the 4 aircraft of the Irish Air Force - it probably was all their Air Force and they used their annual budget up in putting on this show of immense force.

And the security has cost them the same as the Royal Wedding - £20 mln - how can Ireland afford this? - at least London had quite an injection in the arm financially with 5000+ Americans plus all the rest visiting the City for the wedding.

But then, seriously, it is important to put markers down about the seriousness of the relationship between our two countries. The Irish are our 5th largest trading partner.

Poor old Queenie, gets through this and she gets the Obam-bams coming in to stay at the ranch. Bit like waiting for the referred to No 29 bus, none for nigh on for a year or so and along come two.

DT - the Obamas are coming here first after QE2, seriously can you pop a few quid in an envelope...?
