Killarney firms want visit by British monarch

Essexboy

Hotel and business leaders in Killarney are urging the Government to invite Queen Elizabeth II to visit Ireland and Killarney next year.
http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/0602/queen.html

After years of posturing as the only truly Republican county, Kerry wants to see the Queen. Why? is it de money-ah!

When money was being raised for the Cork-Swansea ferry these people were nowhere to be seen. " the chairman of West Cork Tourism, the organisation that is spearheading the fundraising drive, said: 'We had hoped that the business community in Kerry would bring 50 shares to the table. But we were terribly disappointed when – after the meeting last Saturday morning – less than ten people signed the pledge form.' ”

What posturing?

...Kerry investors might put some money into a Swansea Fenit Car Ferry.

Would be a great boost the the economy. Really shows the maturity of people these days to see such an invite.

Although, I do worry for HM with Healy-Rae in the welcoming party!

I dont know what the hassle about the Monarch coming to Kerry is. Don't the vast majority of people sign up to their "Britishness" every week:eek:

Tesco
Boots
Mothercare
Debenhams
Next
Halfords
Costa Coffee
Ulster Bank
New Look
Burtons
Marks & Spencers
Game Stop

Do I have to continue. Give your own brand of "Irishness" a thought :mad:

As she doesn't have to sign up to her Britishness, there's more chance of finding her in Kerry than there is of seeing her in any of those establishments.

My point is why the fuss over the Queen or whoever coming to Ireland because in the last decade we have surrendered our Retail industry to UK multiples.

Maybe Sarcozy shoud visit :rolleyes:

She might be offered cheap B&B as an incentive, which would very handy for the old dear, as the Tories are playing havoc with her pocket-money.

Yes. This is the reason she has been asked to Killarney and it is clealy in article.

Clearly you have an angle, I'm just curious to see what it is. Perhaps you might answer my question this time?

Gerry Adams when asked by journalists about his feelings on the Queens visit to the North a while back answered "Mrs Windsor can come and go as she pleases!" Thought it was a very good answer

Im sure that Mrs Windsor would have a very nice time in Killarney - whilst we take her money from her..

sheesh

ok just to be clear.

you do realise that the people who claimed proudly that kerry was the most republican county in Ireland and the people that want the queen to come to killarney are 2 different groups of people?

Honestly whats the problem here?

tourism is a big part of the Killarney economy a visit by the Queen of England would be a major boost.
