I am well aware of what Tyndall is supposed to be but as someone who has first hand knowledge of working there its all Propaganda.
You could count on one hand the number of patents coming out of there .

This is an 85 year old woman - how much longer are they going to make her walk around? Her feet look like they're beginning to bother her.

She is some lady.....I cant see how anyone could fault her.

She has been amazing on her trip.

I am sure she will be looking forward to a break now in Balmoral with her doggies!

My name is URL

Good to see her interact with the crowds.. it was obviously missing until now

I feel even more angry now watching this thinking of those Republican "protest" knackers we had in Dublin:mad:

Well if anyone told me last week Elizabeth would be generally interested (and surprisingly knowlegeable) about Ireland, I'd have laughed.

But fair play to them, (in the main at least) the two of them have appeared to be genuinely delighted to be here.

Ya live and learn.

Dont be silly. She has a trolley, couldn't expect an 85 year old to carry round a basket.

Through no fault of the ordinary folk of Dublin.

(Bloody hell, solidarity from a Cork person, Liz is a feckin miracle worker. )

Cork people seem to get a image of being snobby and all that...

Spoiled for the majority , by the minority and opportunity lost for the good people of Dublin of whom I'm sure the queen would love to greet and meet .But she might come back again soon .

As long as she's in good health, I wouldn't be surprised to see her back in a private capactiy at least (maybe for a race meet or something.)

No hes not and he would be a very interesting replacement for Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh.

I think they should have organised to bring to Queen to the actual campus instead of going to the Tyndal. It's much prettier.

It is kinda sad that it took so long for her visit.

If she was younger and this had happened earlier you can bet she would have been over for the races etc......over the years.

Hope they come back and glad they enjoyed it.

Well done to all who participated and who helped make this trip a success and make us as a country look amazing worldwide!!!
