So the Queen is to make a state visit to Ireland, what can be gained by this, both from Ireland's point of view also England's?
The visit will cost Ireland millions both in organisation and security, at a time when they can least afford it.
Or could it be because only at the end of last year the UK offered the Irish government a £3bn bi-lateral loan as part of Ireland's international bail-out.

The Queen visited Northern ireland several times during the troubles. Security wasn't the show-stopper for previous state visits. It was simply never deemed "appropriate"
By the way I don;t know for certain, but I am fairly sure she has never set foot in Ireland. I think we would have heard about it ...
