Ireland – The Irish flag has been lowered to half mast at Government Buildings to mark the death of HM Queen Elizabeth

The Irish flag has been lowered to half mast at Government Buildings last night to mark the death of HM Queen Elizabeth.

President Michael D Higgins said her visit to Ireland in 2011 was pivotal in laying a firm basis for an understanding between Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin said Queen Elizabeth made an enormous contribution to strengthening relations between the two countries.

A Book of Condolence will be opened at the British Embassy in Dublin today for people to pay their respects.
