    I believe that most of the manholes in the city centre are being sealed as we speak by gaurds, corpo, eircom etc etc before the queen arrives, and now we have helicopters hovering as well. wtf like......:rolleyes:

    Things would have been a lot easier if she just got a last minute deal and took a flight to Cork airport of a morning.

    Not another thread! Does it really matter what they do to the manholes?

    I thought they were sealing them because alot of them were a good few inches lower than the road,one by debenhams and one on washington street i recall.

    It's to guard against explosives. Standard practice for a very high security visit. For example they do it even within the States for presidential visits.

    If they will start using some of the sealant on numerous potholes as well, that would be a plus.
