Rebel descendants say visit ‘bizarre’

DESCENDANTS of 1916 rebel leaders have branded the queen’s visit bizarre and inappropriate.

James Connolly-Heron, great-grandson of Labour Party founder James Connolly, said the historic visit is full of contradictions.

Honor Ó Brolcháin, grand-niece of another signatory of the Proclamation of Independence, Joseph Plunkett, said she was initially indifferent to the royal visit but now finds the idea ill-judged.
