The Queen visits Ireland

It's really cool that the reigning British monarch (the Queen) has visited Ireland. Of course there's loads of stuff that has gone on in the past and I'm sure there's bound to be some bad blood but I hope everyone can bury the hatchett as it's all history. It's rather sad that the focus now is purely financial that seems to be motivating more unrest but I guess progress is progress and it just goes to show how much money plays a part in everyday life, even though the money wasn't ever there to begin with and it's all a false economy to start with... oh well! I guess that's the Irish for you... and before anyone starts, I'm Irish myself so I can say that!
