Republic of Ireland is a term used to describe the type of independent state Éire/Ireland is. The Irish president and many presidents have been to the North of Ireland. As a nationalist I’m still very well aware that the north of Ireland is part of the UK so again she’s wrong. It’s the first visit to Great Britain.

[@Adson_von_Melk]

No, he made the first STATE visit to the UK, those he made to Northern Ireland were not state visits.

[@gingerbaker4390]

Ireland was part of the UK. You had representation in Westminister. I don't know where the republic idea came from. ?? It must've been foreign.

[@phillipwilloughby5013]

@@gingerbaker4390 No not foreign. It was the Irish Volunteers, the Irish Citizen Army, and the Irish Republican Brotherhood. They created Ireland's Proclamation of Independence and the seven men who signed it were all executed and that compelled the Irish people to establish the Irish Republic. The Irish cherish their Proclamation of Independence like the Americans cherish their Declaration of Independence. And Ireland never wanted to be part of the UK and were forced into it in 1801. And as the Irish Declaration of Independence says (yes there is an Irish Declaration of Independence too) "English rule in Ireland is, and always has been, based upon force, and fraud, and maintained by military occupation against the declared will of the people.".

[@rnw2739]

Let's face it, you people are so obsessed with hanging on to resentment and do not even want reconciliation. It woukd never be good enough and the fact the loudest voices were not even present or alive during the incidents they cite is laughable. The vile comments made by so many Irish over the events of yesterday make tuay all too clear. Enjoy your wallowing and bitter hate filled lives whilst the rest of us embrace the future and forgiveness on BOTH sides - a concept strangely alien to Ireland who purport to be religious lol.

True. Ireland quickly set up a trade deal with France after the Brexit referendum. New shipping routes were established between Ireland and mainland Europe so the Irish truckers can avoid driving via the UK. And the Irish government is having the size of Rosslare port doubled.
