Queen Elizabeth II and Ireland

Available for over a year

In 2011 the late Queen visited Ireland - a trip that was widely seen as a landmark in relations between the two countries. It was the first visit by a reigning British monarch to Ireland in a hundred years. In the City of Cork in particular many remember her visit with great affection. Now Queen's Elizabeth's death is being marked with many government buildings flying the Irish tricolour flag at half-mast. For 5 Minutes On BBC Special Correspondent Fergal Keane re-visits Cork to reflect on the Queen's life and legacy in Ireland. Image Credit: Getty Images
