One issue persists the Irish republic of late - no, it is not the bin Laden conspiracies, nor is it the RTE newsboards most used colloquialism 'current economical crisis' - it is something far more pretentious and controversial for the Irish mind. It is something many regard as insulting, others view as a waste of tax payers money, and fewer can symbolically shrug off their shoulders. It relates more to historical events and pride than current times and rationality. Namely, it is the Queen's timely visit to Ireland.
Prior monarchical visits outdate the Irish Republic's establishment, the Free State's inception, hell, it even predates that immortal event the 1916 Rising. Therein, it seems almost needless to note the secutiry alert it has, ultimately, triggered.
Threats have been flung left, right and centre. Conspiracy theories have entered the mainstage of the Irish republic. Suspicious packages litter every alleyway (and the Queen will most certainly click her heels on those streets, don't you know!). If the auld ones were lacking in gossip, they're sorted now
For the moment, the gossip concerns the most recent activities of Dublin's Garda Shiocana. Which - when not approaching unidentified containers or bleaching over the 'no royal visit' graffiti - is the unsealing, searching and resealing of the city centres gutters, manholes and shores, much to the scandal, shock and overall concern of the public.
The obvious answer/conspiracy remains: someone could place a bomb there.
"Yes, yes, of course. Another of the ever covert actions of that disputed, often feared, often praised faction of Irish history, inconspicuously referred to as the IRA. That's why their checking them. Yes. Sure enough. No harm being thorough, ensure the safely of both our royal visitor and our citizens. Only makes sense. Yes, yes, of course." - so says the recent conspiracy theory.
Now, my conspiracy theory? Much more exciting, much more convincing - teenage mutant ninja turtles.
Yes, yes, of course.
