Of course it isn’t. There are only so many ribbons you can cut in a day regardless how many people exist in the country.

You paint the picture as if they spent their lives laid down being fanned by banana leaves and grapes dropped into their mouths. It’s comical, like the Beano crossed with the Morning Star.

The fact is we’d have to have another head of state who’d cost just as much if not more, with far more political ties and the power to wield them. You can’t just wipe the slate clean I’m afraid. The money argument doesn’t consider the alternative.

The total budget for the Irish president's office in around €5m I believe.

the pish take in this country, no monarch in Europe receives anywhere close, is down to ignorance of the electorate.
 
the 'peterfile' criminal gets to dress up and tuck in

Oh the grand old Duke of York
He had twelve million quid
He gave it to someone he never met
For something he never did

Again only serving 5 million people. Insignificant number in comparison with the UK let alone the Commonwealth.
 
Aye but if you take away the number of "forriners" who have invaded the country, it's not far off surely .......🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

How much is that per tax payer and is it more or less than what our monarchy receives per tax payer? How much does the Irish president bring into the country with tourism etc? How much does our monarchy bring in?

Oh do tell me what they fill their days with…..you paint the picture that they are grafting down t’pit? Or 14 hour shift at the hospital? Stressful Back-to-back-to-back strategic meetings to save the company and keep people in employment? What exactly are their days like. It’s pretty close to what I posted according to their diaries which are published (and probably highly exaggerated for affect)

Why the obsession with ‘pet tax payer’? Because it sounds less than 350m

Piffle- especially when considering the millions watching the coronation. The queue for the queens coffin went back 30 hours for heavens sake.

These were one off generational events. 99.9% of the time they have zero direct daily influence with 99.9% of us. It's behind the scenes where they impact us

People turning up to look at them go past, dead or alive, doesn't mean that they have nothing to do with 99.9% of the population. It means people, like yourself perhaps, are in awe of them for some reason unknown to many others.
