Queen Elizabeth Dublin Visit 2011

The first meetings between Sinn Fein/Provisional IRA and The Real IRA that discussed an attack on Queen Elizabeth in 2011 took place in an educational facility. It was from these meetings that it became clear that there was a serious threat to Queen Elizabeth when she visited Dublin.

By 2011, I was working with a number of businesses in Gardiner Street, Dublin. I was fully and comprehensively aware of PIRA and Real IRA activity in north Dublin.

When I was unable to be psychically present on Gardiner Street, I used CCTV to record Terrorist activity, which could be viewed live from a remote location or reviewed later.

An Garda Siochana knew that there were serious threats against Queen Elizabeth, as they prepared for The Queen’s visit to Dublin, and those threats were made more real as The PIRA had provided both personnel and Commercial explosives for an attack on The Queen when she visited Dublin.

In 2011, I certainly did not know that Bertie Ahern and other corrupt criminals had granted a De Facto Amnesty (McDowell, 2021) to Sinn Fein/PIRA murderers. I did, under-supervision and direction, play a key role in preventing the plan to murder Queen Elizabeth in 2011.

It is worth remembering that The DUP had been duped in 2006 when Sinn Fein/PIRA said that The PIRA was gone for good and full decommissioning had taken place, yet 5 years later the same Sinn Fein/PIRA were preparing to Murder Queen Elizabeth with Semtex.

Following the St Andrews Agreement in 2006, the DUP agreed to enter into power-sharing devolved government in Northern Ireland with Sinn Féin/PIRA. Despite reports of divisions within The DUP, a majority of the party executive voted in favor of power-sharing in 2007.

This picture was taken by this Author a few seconds before Queen Elizabeth was supposed to die if An Garda Siochana had not compromised the operation.

Thousands of Gardai were on high alert for the Queens Visit to Dublin. Every premises along the route that the Queen would take in Dublin had been visited.

While a pipe bomb was stopped on a bus on its way into Dublin, this made the situation even more serious as threats now became a reality. Nobody wanted to believe that The PIRA were involved, but they were, no politician would say publicly that it was The PIRA.

As security concerns heightened, Gardai found another bomb in Dorset Street a short distance from The Garden of Remembrance where the Queen was to visit.

While An Garda Siochana had pulled out all the stops, there was still a lingering doubt as to whether something had been missed, could The Queen still be in danger.

Even during the Queen's flight from London, doubts arose about whether it was safe for her to land in Ireland, and British Prime Minister, David Cameron, held an urgent meeting in the situation room in Downing Street in response, while Queen Elizabeth was airborne.

A senior Garda Officer called in a long serving security operative, and that operative walked every inch of the route to be taken by the Queen, and he then took up position in an area that he believed an attack would be most likely.

Sleeping rough on the back streets of north Dublin, the security operative finally got a break when he spotted Real IRA Leader, Alan Ryan, enter the rear of a building on Gardiner Street. The steel door that Alan Ryan entered lead to an unknown tunnel that ran/runs under Mabbot Lane which runs parallel to Gardiner Street.

As a result of this indicator Alan Ryan and others were arrested, but later released. The plan had been to assemble a bomb in the concealed tunnel and attach it with a magnet to the steel Railway bridge that runs over the bottom of Gardiner Street.

The PIRA had learned from operations in Northern Ireland that security vehicles were normally not fitted with blast proof roofs, so the intention was that the bomb would blow downwards and using shrapnel, kill The Queen inside her vehicle.

The Queen came within a hairs-breath of dying in Dublin, had it not been for the initiative of senior Gardai then The Queen would have died in 2011.

It would not be until 2014 that Garda Commissioner, Martin Callinan, would admit publicly for the first time that The PIRA were involved in the 2011 plot to Murder Queen Elizabeth.
