The History of The Irish...Worldwide
British royals, politicians and Unionist leaders will be invited to Dublin to remember those who fought for Irish freedom. Will we all get along ?
From The Independent.ie
Ireland's Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore said he hoped to host representatives of the Royal family and the British Government, along with the leaders of unionism, at commemorations for the centenary of the Easter Rising in 2016.
Mr Gilmore also wants all sides to respectfully remember those who gave their lives at the battle of the Somme, as well as Irish men who died fighting in a British uniform.

British military representatives already attend the Easter parade in Dublin. When the Queen came she went on a walkabout in Cork, but this was not possible in Dublin.
I grew up hearing the name 'Traitors Gate' for the arch at the entrance to St Stephen's Green. These days its almost taboo to criticise Irish people who fought for the British.
