Issues cloud royal visits

Thomas Kent remains the only leader of 1916 whose remains haven’t been returned to the family. This is due to an embargo of British archives not to release details where he was buried in Cork prison for 100 years.

It is surprising that the government hasn’t availed of the opportunity to resolve this issue during the State visit of the Queen to Ireland or last year’s visit of the President to Britain.

Another topic which remains unmentioned by the Government are the opportunities Irish unity offers on both sides of the border.
