Real IRA: Queen’s visit is an insult

Masked member of Real IRA says at rally to mark 1916 Easter Rising that the Queen is ‘not wanted on Irish soil’ The Real IRA has described the Queen’s visit to Ireland next month as an “upcoming insult”. In a speech to republican dissident supporters in Derry a masked Real IRA man said the trip was “not on behalf of the Irish people”. At the ceremony to mark the 1916 Easter Rising, the Real IRA member said: “The Queen of England is wanted for war crimes and not wanted on Irish soil.” His remarks in the city cemetery in Derry were part of an event organised by the 32 County Sovereignty Movement. Around 200 people attended. They were addressed by the former IRA hunger striker Marion Price. Last week another dissident Irish republican claimed that the Queen should be regarded as a “legitimate target” when she visits the Republic in May.
