Statement by TUV vice chairman and Causeway Coast and Glens councillor Allister Kyle:
“I have today written to Dublin Airport to register my protest at their decision to mock Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales who is currently recovering from cancer.
“We have all been profoundly moved by the Princess’s bravery in going public about something which is deeply personal and something which she and her family need to deal with away from the glare of the media.
“To say, therefore, that it is in poor taste for the official X (formally Twitter) account of Dublin Airport to still be displaying a tweet mocking the Princess and her husband is an understatement.
“Dublin Airport have come in for considerable criticism on X for their post and have disabled replies to that particular post. Disgracefully, however, it has been left up.
“Many people in Northern Ireland will draw their own conclusions about what this says about the deeply embedded anti-Britishness in the Republic.
“It is time for Dublin Airport to remove this disgusting post, explain how it ever appeared, what action will be taken against those responsible and apologise to their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales.”
