8,000 police deployed in the biggest security operation in the Irish Republic’s history.
The Real IRA and the Continuity IRA have threatened the armed police who will accompany Queen.
 The Queen will be protected by armed British police on the streets of Dublin tomorrow amid fears of a terrorist attack during her state visit.


A team of 120 Scotland Yard royal protection officers will accompany her as she becomes the first British monarch to visit southern Ireland since King George V in 1911.
More than 8,000 Irish police and 2,000 troops will be also deployed in the biggest security operation in the Irish Republic’s history, with republican group Eirigi staging a preliminary protest against the visit yesterday.
