Taoiseach calls for 'respect' for monarchists after RTÉ criticised for coronation broadcast plans


THE TAOISEACH HAS called for respect for people who support the monarchy in the UK after two People Before Profit TDs questioned the amount of time that RTÉ is devoting to the coronation this weekend.

The UK’s King Charles and his wife Camilla are due to be crowned in London this Saturday to much fanfare.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said today that the model of constitutional monarchy is backed by a majority of people in the UK, responding to criticism from Paul Murphy and Richard Boyd Barrett.

The two TDs raised concerns that RTÉ One is devoting four hours to televised coverage of Saturday’s events in London.

Murphy described the monarchy as an institution built on “racism, privilege and empire” and claimed the coronation was a “very obvious attempt to rehabilitate that institution”.

“Some republicans are saying that they are going to attend this coronation on the grounds of reaching out to the unionist community,” he said.

“We think it is perfectly possible and necessary to build a united socialist movement of working-class people from a Catholic background, Protestant background, and a non-religious background, not on the basis of this sort of anachronistic and hated institution, but on the basis of the interests of ordinary people and the need for a socialist Ireland in a socialist world.


“Even in Britain only 29% of people think that the monarchy is very important, it’s an increasingly unpopular institution. But, yet, if you turn on RTÉ on Saturday, you’re going to be treated to four hours of the coronation.

“Why on earth is our state broadcaster spending four hours on a Saturday displaying this so-called coronation?”

He has a point in that an awful lot of Prods have no use for the Monarchy outside of it being something to troll themuns with. I think the carry on of Michelle O'Neill in this regard is not so much reaching out to the "unionist community" but rather demonstrating to Dublin senior civil servants, London, Brussels and Washington that they are now firmly "grown up".

The British should have an elected head of State, then they wouldn't end up with some as truly awful as Charlie Windsor. You know, an elected Head of State, just like Ireland has with Higgins. The English can say 'Not My King' but what excuse can the Irish give?

Typical of the West brits in RTE to be broadcasting this "Humbug" not a nano second of this Dung will I be watching

The British get a WEF-er and we get a fella kicked out of the Leprechaun club for being annoying ! ! !

Gotta have a bit of razzmatazz to perk up the auld arm sales to dodgy regimes now that they can get barely used kit cheap from even dodgier Ukrainian generals.

The grating English accent of myres and Shane Ross is like nails on a blackboard to me

 

[clarke-connolly]

I suppose Varadkar will be sliding down something in London ! ! !

 

[Anderson]

I hope poor Kevin Myers doesn't get a heart attack with the excitement.

Probably sat by the post box every morning praying he receives an invite to the bash in London, failing that begging Leo to have him as his plus one.

Murphy described the monarchy as an institution built on “racism, privilege and empire” .

Cueball is a fukking Bell end

What did Myres do now?

I did nothing. Has somebody reported me?

As an Irish man, I admire England's past trade, enterprise and particularly its engineers. I go to England now and again to see its model engineering exhibitions. I sell my farm food into England at great prices, I had a fling with an English woman years ago before I met the Missus car.

That said I hate all things Roman Empire and all things British aristocracy. I hate the Tower of London and the
executions. The execution of Oliver Plunket makes me angry. Dianna was treated bad. I would have had her pregnant 15 times. Charles is a bit green and into climate crap. Without a King, we would have President Tony Blair or a big black or brown jungle migrant as president. Even is we had no history, Ireland would have to be represented at the coronation. It is unthinkable that Northern Ireland or this state should shun it. That would be only if we were at war and it would make the Queen's visit invitation false.

Its like being asked to a wedding when you don't like the couple, you have to go and you have to buy a toaster for
a present and a baby suit if she is up the pole. When its over, you talk about the food, the spuds, custard.

It's unthinkable?
Not really. These countries are not asked to come and pay tribute to the English King. Russia, Belarus, Iran, Myanmar, Syria, Afghanistan and Venezuela. None of whom are at war with the UK but beacuse they are actually self respecting Nations with some dignity they are not invited. They have less reason to maintain their dignity than Ireland does, as none their territory is currently occupied by Crown Forces.

Look, you can just lighten up about the execution of the former ArchBishop of Armagh Oliver Plunkett. The current ArchBishop of Armagh is relaxed about it, and even describes the King as a good friend of 'Northern' Ireland.

King is ‘a proven friend of Northern Ireland', cathedral service told

The Catholic Archbishop of Ireland Eamon Martin was at the service at St Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh city.

Didn't you run around with Lord Farnham?

Del Boy Trotter gave a tow to an aristocratic lady who had just been to Charles and Diana's wedding (they later destroyed the chandelier in her gaff).

He said its a pity she didn't look them up beforehand because he was doing a line in toasters and they would've made a "blinding present".
