Queen’s visit marks a new era, says Kenny

THE visit of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth marks the start of “a new era” according to the Taoiseach, who said he intends to greet her in a normal but proper fashion.

Enda Kenny said the €20 million security operation for the four-day visit starting tomorrow is “an investment” in future tourism, trade and relations between both countries.

The British Home Secretary, Theresa May, confirmed armed British police will patrol Irish streets saying her department will “be working with the Gardaí and with the Irish Government about what is appropriate.”
