Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I want to return to the question I asked the Taoiseach about a possible visit by Queen Elizabeth. In his reply, the Taoiseach said that if there was to be such a visit, it would be likely to be in the term of office of President McAleese, which expires in a little over a year. I am still unclear on the position with regard to an invitation. Has an invitation been issued to Queen Elizabeth to visit Ireland? Has the Government made a decision on a visit before the expiry of the term of office of President McAleese?
