After nineteen years here, I'm just beginning to get a feel for Corkery, Corkonianism and Corkocity and these lads are not Corkies. For a start, Cork people don't wear sunglasses.

Not so much wear as flaunt.

It has emerged that the Sinn Féin Mayor of Cashel, Cllr Michael Brown, shook Queen Elizabeth II's hand during her visit to the town today.

The pair also enjoyed a brief conversation as the British monarch and her husband, Prince Phillip, toured the Rock of Cashel landmark.

The royals will be visiting Cork city this afternoon, where hundreds of well-wishers have already gathered to greet them.

Cllr Michael Brown was elected to Cashel Town Council in 1985. He lost it in 1999, before regaining it in 2004.

No one going to comment on this? Ulick? Nally? Lawnseed?
It's a fairly significant deviation from party policy. And good to see.

Then there's Gerry Adams' comments...

Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams has praised Queen Elizabeth's "sincere expression of sympathy" for those affected by conflict between Britain and Ireland.

Mr Adams said: "I hope some good will come from this visit and I particularly was taken by Queen Elizabeth's sincere expression of sympathy to all those who had suffered in the course of the conflict."

He hoped the visit would pave the way for greater co-operation between the two nations, saying: "If there is to be more benefit out of this, it will be if it moves beyond these important gestures and remarks."

He added: "It's another step in the journey. It was the conditions created by the peace process which allowed this to happen.

"It's a page in a book - and we need to write the next page and the next page and keep moving the process on."

Mr Adams claimed many nationalists in Northern Ireland were disappointed the Queen failed to apologise for Britain's past in Ireland, but he said: "I never expected that."

Jesus, EG, this is really going to screw with your head now, isn't it? Even Peter Punt is getting in on the act!

DUP First Minister Peter Robinson speaks Irish

Friday, 20 May 2011

First Minister Peter Robinson followed in the Queen's footsteps yesterday — by speaking Irish.

After Her Majesty opened her ground-breaking Dublin Castle speech in Irish, the DUP leader yesterday jokingly followed suit.

At a Press conference after the first Executive meeting since the Assembly election, he said 'Sine' — Irish for 'that's it'.

Irish President Mary McAleese mouthed "wow" after the Queen opened in Irish on Wednesday night.

In the same room where Queen Victoria dined more than a century ago, her successor said: "A hUachtarain agus a chairde" which means "President and friends".

Sure they probably Brits living here, not is if the Irish in Britain aren't known for getting out their tricolours when the occasion arises.
