With that in mind i did think it was a sign of how far we have come, to see the British Military attache on the reviewing stand, On O'Connell st, at the easter commemoration, saluting while the Irish national anthem was being played. With the Somme Commemorations later in the year, I don't think we are far away from the British Legion in Ireland being allowed participate. After all the wreath was to commemorate all those who died in 1916.
It would be a true sign of the maturity of the state if the regiment that is the descendant of the Foresters or the Lancers, were allowed participate in the 100th anniversary.
