1- The "Free State" was abolished in 1937
2- If we ever want to have a monarchy we only have to go out the road from Castlerea to Clonalis House to the O'Conor Don who is the one entitled to be King.

Ironic Tony gives out about people worshipping unelected leaders that most of us don't give two hoots about!

1. It's still alive and well as today has shown.
2. Tish and pish. He's from Sussex and as English as Charlie. Probably would be a great fit for you!

It said in a News report when Charlie met Gerry that it was the first time someone from Sinn Fein met a member of the British Royal family. Didn't Marty meet the Queen when she was over or was it just that they were in the same Building/Room
