Talk:List of Irish state funerals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Protocol

"Lying-in-state is only organised for a sitting taoiseach or president."

What exactly does "lying-in-state" mean? I thought deV lay in state, and he wasn't a sitting taoiseach or president. Ian Cheese 21:01, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missing funerals

These people may have been given state funerals:

• Eoin MacNeill [1]
• W. B. Yeats [2]
• Dorothy Macardle [3]
• Domhnall Ua Buachalla [4]

But a handful of Google hits isn't good enough, so I don't think they should be added to the article yet. Anybody have better sources? Anybody know of any other state funerals? Ian Cheese 21:01, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
