A royal welcome in Cork! (Like she’s just won the Euromillions) for the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.

Girl 2: she’s never going to wash her hand
Girl 1 I’m never going to wash my hands again.

They could’ve been masturbating before they shook your hand.

Cork really is the soup slurper county.

They're heading to Kerry tomorrow.
D'you think they're going to meet the Healy Rae's???

Really lads? They were kids ffs, excited about meeting someone famous.

I was supposed to go into town today but then i remembered that this visit was on so i stayed home. Helicopters were circling most of the day oh and by the way the girl who said those things was only a young primary school girl. I say that as a person who doesn't care about the Royals or any celebrities for that matter. I couldn't cared less and just stayed out of the way anyone else can make their own mind up on what they wanted to do.

Did they have a nice time?

Tangatagamadda Chaddabinga Bonga Bungo

There was no one there bar a few buses of school children brought in. Can't believe they put the whole city on lockdown for this sh1te.

Picture here from South Mall. The Street next to where they were headed. His car is in this photo. There was almost nobody there to see it.

Of course there's no chance at all that any British people live in the county or visited from elsewhere for the occasion.

Pretty sick comment to be fair given that they are kids of about 11 or 12.

Maybe there should be another purge of those pest Prods that live there.

Fair play to the three of them, that's the right spirit

Heaven forbid we try to foster better relations between the two countries from hereon in. I mean, why bother when we can just keep the old hatreds alive, eh?

The armchair republicans of Ireland would love to have the "war" back on and the bombs going off again. They're not into this peace process malarkey.

Given that by any standards it was the Unionists and West Brits in the Sunday Independent and John Bruton's Fine Gael who were screaming "No!" and putting up a huge raft of obstacles to peace at all stages until 1998/2003/2006, while republicans were pushing the peace process from Hume-Adams in 1988 on, that's a stunningly impressive piece of historical revisionism on your part.

The IRA were still more than active in the period 1988-96. The Canary Wharf bombing in February 1996 which killed two innocent people was seen as a tactical manoeuvre by Sinn Fein and the IRA and designed to move negotiations along.

Fair play to Prince Charles btw for having a private meeting with the two Sinn Fein leaders (and to them in return). It's more than welcome.

Precisely, because Major's government depended on Trimble's UUP votes to stay in power and therefore insisted upon "clarification" and then "decommissioning" as a means to stop the Peace Process which Unionists were firmly against for obvious reasons. The British government put its own survival in power over supporting the Peace Process.

Having been on ceasefire since August 1994 and met with only "No!" to all requests for talks, the Canary Wharf Bombing which ended the 1994 Ceasefire in February 1996 was long overdue. And IRA violence worked where the IRA ceasefire utterly failed: as a direct result of Canary Wharf Major finally announced that he'd agree to talks with Sinn Féin without preconditions.

Who really cares about this royal visit to Cork? If some locals want to meet and greet Charles and Camilla, than so what? Why do the armchair republicans, stuck in their hatreds and in circa 1975, get so het up about this?

We have moved on. The Queens visit proved that beyond a doubt. I personally have little time for the royal family but I’m not going to get foaming at the mouth about a minor royal visit here.

After hours - the forum beloved of the trolls, the bigots, the racists, women haters, homophobes, headcases and just general angry saddos who feel the need to spew their ignorant opinions on everything and who really need to get a life...

Don't be so bloody ignorant,if you knew any Irish history you'd understand that dissenters were the mainstay of the 98 rebellion etc,all educated leaders were not if the r,c, faith

Heaven forbid we forget bloody Sunday,as a Corkman who lived in Derry for over 20 years I for one won't,so relations won't get better until bloody Sunday is publicly apologised for by the parachute regiment who is the big eared boy himself Charlie

Seeing the photos of Prince Charles makes me feel very very old.

When we were at "smalls school" in England, the royals were at the centre of our universe. We had books of photos of Charles and Ann as they grew; every detail , every detail of their lives was ours.

And now we and he are old.

Going back to bed!

Wish though I could be to Muckross..Sad now... really sad

good to know that you think the death of two innocent civilians and the permanent injuries to many more was "long overdue".

They can call us Jackeens if it makes them feel better.

You know what's going to happen when the boot is on the other foot.

munsterlegend

Wouldn't go to see them if across the road but have no real issue with them
visiting given its all about diplomacy and normalising relations.

However am completely against the whole monarchy concept and it's little wonder British society is so divided given who is in theory top of the chain even if toothless.

Was just gonna say, some cheek to call us Jackeens!

Also, wasn't the Rebel county thing about the fact they supported Perkin? Nothing to do with the war of Independence?

The local Shinners used to (or might still do) a march up in Knocka.

Me mam always said that she'd love to go out and pop a balloon as they marched up past Harbour View Road. She said there would be a fierce scatter altogether from these 'hard' men.

So a GAA-obsessed guy and a dedicated IRA-supporter start a thread about how they can't understand why Irish people want to live in the 21st century and behave in a civilised manner with our nearest neighbour.

What do you think the response from irish people should be? - throw our own feces at them? I'd actually imagine at least one of you would be in favour of that.

There really should be a "1970's retarded bogger" forum where certain "people" with certain "views" can spew all the hatred and bull**** they want, and leave the rest of us alone.

It was.

It's funny when the 'RA heads get so pent up about this, when it doesn't agree with their narrative of how Irish people should be.

Most people have moved on, thankfully. They don't want to go back to the bad old days.

Kind of conflicted about it. On the one hand, glad to see friendliness between the two nations, we've moved on and thank Christ. Don't really care about the royals but no bad feelings towards them.

On the other hand, I work in the English Market and it was such a pain in the hole. Garda vetting, deep cleaning, needed photo id to get in yesterday (I actually took the day off and let my colleague who was very interested take the shift).

So, swings and roundabouts.

Great to see our Royal Family visiting the Republic. Good to see the respect they received by the fantastic Cork people.
