Madam, – Kevin James O’Mahony (May 19th) claims that the only reason that a visit from Queen Elizabeth II would be controversial is because of latent presence of Anglophobic bigotry. I feel this misrepresents the modern, multicultural country that we live in. I, for one, would be happy to welcome her Majesty to these shores, as long as the purpose of her visit is to apologise to the nation for the atrocities inflicted upon the Irish people by her ancestors. – Yours, etc,
