Needless to say, Sinn Fein have opposed the visit, announcing that:

"Until there is complete withdrawal of the British military and the
British administration from Ireland, and until there is justice and
truth for victims of collusion, no official welcome should be accorded
to any officer of the British armed forces of any rank."

I wouldn't be too early to condemn such a statement, since it actually
says nothing.

A mere recommendation as to what should be done, but to a process that
has already taken place several times over. Cross border co-operation
between the British and Irish military, police and security forces
have been taking place for more than a decade.
