| DUBLIN (AP) -- Undeterred by real or fake bombs, Queen Elizabeth II on Tuesday began the first visit by a British monarch to the Republic of Ireland, a four-day trip to highlight strong Anglo-Irish relations and the success of Northern Ireland peacemaking. The queen arrived 100 years after her grandfather George V visited Dublin and an Ireland that was still part of the British Empire. |
