Ihere is a Viceregal Court in Dublin with
stately functions, complexities OF etiquette and
d prllllant social life. There are more Ievees
ura"lng rooms and state balls and concerts in
DuOhh castle than there are in buckingham
Falace; and with the Improvement in the general
relations between England and ireland all these
cerenonials are conducted with unwonted
splendor The Lord Lieutenant, as the personal
representative of the Queen holds court with
stately dignity; and in that sense Dublin is an
important capital. although not legislative one.
