Irish hotel cancels Harry and Meghan event after republican complaints

-

South Londonderr­y RSC: Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the ‘New Ireland’ that you hear Irish republican­ism talking about. Be in no doubt: it is not a shared future, but a scared future we can look forward to should a united Ireland ever occur. Not much honesty, integrity and respect shown in this instance, I’m afraid.

Padraig Piarais Mac AnTsaoir: Charles and Camilla were given a very warm welcome last year.

Sean McGlinchey: No country that bears the scars of British imperialis­m should be showing a wedding of a British royal.

Rachel Kirker: This is becoming clearer by the day. I would have supported a united Ireland (stupidly thinking that people would put the past behind them and move on). Now, I see how wrong I was. Things will never change on their part; they will always hate us.

Stuart Neilly: Even though there are British people living here, Sean McGlinchey?

Padraig Piarais Mac

AnTsaoir: That’s right, Rachel. Republic of Ireland is a hotbed for anti-British sentiment because of this (literal, actual) non-event.

Steve Collins: So, the article is basically about how the majority of people aren’t bothered by people wanting to watch the wedding and a lot of people are actually interested in watching it. Somehow, you’ve misconstru­ed this as ‘Ireland is trying to eradicate our culture’ based on a few phone calls to a hotel.

South Londonderr­y RSC:

“No country that bears the scars of British imperialis­m should be showing a wedding of a British royal.” Cheers for this, Sean McGlinchey. This tells you all you need to know.

Aine Green: Why would a hotel think that people would be interested in an American actress marrying an unemployed British man?

Stuart Neilly: Not know how hotels work, eh Aine?
