- It was one of the most daring diplomatic engagements of her reign of nearly 60 years.
Britain's Queen Elizabeth has visited Croke Park sports stadium in Dublin, the scene of a massacre by British troops and a key symbol of Irish nationalism. 14 civilians were shot dead there in 1920 during a Gaelic football match.
More than 90 years on, some in the country still believe the Queen's presence there is unacceptable.

Why are people taking it out on the Queen Of England? I’m Irish and I know the history between them but the Queen isn’t like them? What the hell?
What history? English history might be kind of bias. She was in charge during Bloody Sunday and the troubles
@@High_rise12 yes but it was prime minister who had power. The royal family is just for show nowadays.
@@High_rise12 yeah and she wasnt even born yet. Isnt in courteous that somebody who was born in the generation after the British controlled Ireland that they show up and acknowledge that their predecessors fucked up?
She still represents a thousand of years of colonisation.
The Queen is a cold Prick.
Honestly I hate the people who thinks all Britons are bad, literally just the stupid ones are the problem. Please stop hating, the only reason there is hatred is because of people stuck in 1900. These people are holding the tricolours which resembles peace between Catholics and Protestants but are still ranting from events that happened because of people that have been dead for centuries. Grow up, and this is coming for an Irish guy.
How did America win its independence but Ireland can't seem to? Britain, let go of the things it's time to let go of. Stop clinging to things that deserve their freedom. They don't want to be part of your countries anymore. Let them go.
You clearly don't understand the situation... at all.
Shut up
No indeed we do not want to be a poor angry society for ever. The comments of the negative few as expressed here are not representative of Irish people views in general. The majority of Irish people have move on and are more than happy to put the past to one side. Most people feel a sense of warmth towards her majesty and even those who were undecided have been won over by her sincere expression of respect to our freedom fighters of 1916 at the garden of remembrance.
@thevoice81111 It's people like you that give us all hope for the future my friend,we don't want to be your enemy and would rather put the mistakes of the past behind us and move forward with equal respect for each other and try to work out a solution peacefully regarding the Northern part of your nation,as an English lad I'd rather have the craic and a few pints of Guinness with the Irish than harm or disrespect them in any way.
davyjones68 you don't want to be our enemy. Too late
The Phantom keyboard warlord? I’d rather drink with decent man like davey than a dickhead like you.
There Is Only One Queen The Queen Of Ireland And Heaven Our Blessed Lady Mary.☘🇮🇪
@MsMissy Thank God I Am.💚
May I congratulate the the previous contributor "fallsman1888/the voice8111" wow you have summed it all up so well. Even if I tried I could never have said it so well. We are real Irish born and bred people and have lost a lot but we are prepared to move on. How glad I am and how proud I am to see the positive events of this week. How happy I am to welcome her majesty to our soil in a spirit of optimism and hope for the future.
there will always be some who need a scapegoat for their own frustrations. be the change you want to see in the world.
@hugobear1 I have no problem with English people, my girlfriends family on one side is all English which is fine by me, beautiful Somerset... I do however have a problem with Bigots, which 90% of people from Northern Ireland seem to be. God bless to England and The Irish Republic.
@shayno125 It is odd...I've never come across friendlier people than the Irish. In fact I followed Ireland round South Africa during the 95 World Cup as I couldn't get England tickets and I was jolly glad I did - we had a riot and were welcomed. Then there are their Lions fans - never heard anyone mention politics or history.
@lukeanatr The tricky thing is to what degree can one be blamed for one's forefathers? To do so is illogical ... as Her Majesty said one can wish to change the actions of the past. But they were carried out by someone else. I am not acqainted with anyone who'd want to do down the Irish, nor anyone who is pleased that they have been. We Catholics were persecuted for hundreds of years here in England but I can't say it alters my opinion of the CofE one iota.
So did she apologized?
no
@hugobear1 I'm Irish and I don't hate anyone o.O I think the only ones that do are the 45 year olds on word. All my friends don't hate anyone or care about what happened between England and Ireland before they were born.
It is pronounced crow park not croak park
No it’s Croke as in croak
@aloverssoulz im 45 and i dont hate the english. Well not that much lol
@Kobaganda And Scotland too!
@strathpipe
nice poem my man,to those victims of the queens evil regime,you are not forgotten
There will always be an angry few who can never be satisfied. Lets leave them in there anger..so long as they do not claim to represent me or my equals. Long live the queen I say and long live peace and harmony
TheTroy103 there is no such thing as peace while they rule Northern Ireland and the Falkland Islands
The Phantom The northern Irish people literally voted if they want to stay in the UK or United Ireland and the majority said stay... if they voted United ireland then our leaders would gladly give Northern Ireland back.
or your equals? So you look down upon the people of Ireland? That makes sense. Only way you could live with yourself and your countries repeated human rights abuses. Firing on unarmed civilians is not forgivable and never okay. How many times have you done this now? You have no place in Ireland.
@lukeanatr get over it. you want to be a poor angry society for ever?
A waste of time really - the Irish hate us, plain and simple. I still think Brian O'Driscoll is a god however. My father's family left Ireland during the famine - and I'm bloody glad they did and I feel 100% English. Isn't it time people started looking forward. SHame they hate us as I always have a great time over there on holiday. That's life I guess!
Sometimes people just can’t let history fade and it’s upsetting
Sometimes people can’t forgive patterns of behavior like firing on unarmed civilians.
@MsMissy sorry ur mad that you killed innocents. My bad I guess.
Good one! lol
