“This visit is part of a carefully orchestrated campaign to normalize British rule and the enforced partition of Ireland. Irish Republicans will actively oppose this visit in order to send out the clear message that British rule and the partition of Ireland will never be either normal or acceptable.”-Sinn Féin

The oldest Irish political party, Sinn Féin, along with the Irish Republican Army and the Socialist group Eirigi, have all come out with statements, or acts, against the visit of the Queen of England to Ireland.

Eirigi has executed the queen’s effigy.  Several IRA members have been preemptively arrested for comments made before the queen’s visit.  Bomb threats have been made, as well as fake and real bombs found.

The queen still has several days left in her visit to Ireland.
