Poll: Do you welcome the State visit to Britain?

The President will pay an official visit to Britain in April. But are you pleased with the news?

THREE YEARS SINCE Queen Elizabeth II made history by paying a visit to Ireland, she has invited the Irish President to return the favour.

On 8-10 April next year, President Michael D Higgins will become the first Irish head of state to visit Britain.

The news has been welcomed by political parties and is seen as a way to advance relations between Ireland and Britain.

So we’re asking: Do you welcome the State visit to Britain?
