"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)
These people may have been given state funerals:
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)
Redking7 ( talk) 21:33, 8 May 2008 (UTC)== Opening paragraph re independence ==
The article currently opens as follows:
" State funerals in the Republic of Ireland and predecessor states since independence in 1921 have taken place on the following occasions (This list is incomplete):"
This is inaccurate. Independence only came on 6 December 1922. Strictly the funerals of Michael Collins and Arthur Collins took place in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. On the basis that we still wish to list them, I will change the text to read:
" State funerals in the Republic of Ireland have taken place on the following occasions since 1921 (This list is incomplete):"
Strictly, the early funderals were not in the RoI but in Southern Ireland (a part of the UK) and later funerals in the Irish Free State and since 1937 in Ireland (still today the name of the state) - but I think the above text is sufficient. Regards. Redking7 ( talk) 19:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Do they have to be well-known before their death to be included on this list? Garda Robert McCallion -- can dle • wicke 04:09, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
This article says:
"Following tributes from across the political spectrum, the Cosgrave family, his three children, Mary, Liam and Ciaran, were offered a State funeral.
"At their request the funeral Mass and burial will have some elements of State but it is a private service."
I don't think he should be included in the list. Maybe just a comment like the one about John A. Costello. Ian Cheese ( talk) 16:21, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
The cited source only says James Fitzmaurice got military honours, not a state funeral, so I've removed him. jnestorius( talk) 18:49, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
