Donegal Opposition to English queen

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday March 10, 2011 13:08author by Donegal Republican Report this post to the editors

Republican Resistance to West Brit Agenda

As the 26 County State confirmed that the British monarch would be arriving in Dublin in May 2011 for an official visit. Republican's in Donegal responded with a call on Republican's and others opposed to Monarchy to openly oppose the visit. Two veteran Republican's from a long heritage and a life time of Republican resistance have thier voices heard.

Local Republican’s reject visit by British Monarch to Dublin in May

Following confirmation that the British Monarch will be officially visiting Dublin in May, local Donegal Republican’s have spoken out and have voiced their opposition to the visit.

Republican’s within Donegal and across the country are debating their response to the planned visit to Ireland. Some local Republican’s have decided to clearly outline their opposition and as they put it, articulate the clear “Republican position”.

Historically, the Republican community have always opposed Royal visits and indeed were out in force on the streets of Dublin in 1911 to oppose the visit of King George V and today Republican’s are planning to follow suit.

Prominent Republican , Eamonn Monaghan, son of famous IRA Commander, Barney Monaghan, said “I have no problem with the Queen of England coming to Ireland once British involvement in this country has ended. Our country remains partitioned with 5000 armed British soldiers in the 6 counties. This is unacceptable to a Republican. The English Queen is Commander in Chief of British armed forces and as such is part of the problem”.

Glencolmcille Veteran Republican, Bill O Brien, added, “the very idea of royalty runs against every thing I believe in, the idea that this woman perceives of herself as having a divine right to rule is abhorrent to a democrat. Elizabeth Windsor represents sectarianism; she represents a backward ideology that has no place in the modern world. The institution she is head-of is anti-democratic and is openly bigoted. I believe it is vital that people get involved in opposing this visit not least because it is morally wrong but also because it is obscene to see the amount of money being spent just to facilitate her visit”.

The largest Republican organisation in the country, Sinn Féin, has already issued a statement saying that as a party they believe the visit to be premature. While many other Republican’s consider this visit as a clear attempt to normalise and legitimise partition and British involvement in the north. Many argue that the move to bring the Queen of England to Dublin is part of an overall process to solidify Britain’s hold on the 6 northern counties.

Eamonn Monaghan concluded, “This visit by the British monarch is an affront to the Republican people who have given so much to achieve a 32 County Democratic Republic. Republican’s opposed the last visit by a British monarch in 1911 and they will be right to oppose this visit also”.
