We are not<\/em> helping to keep HRH Prince Charles safe as he visits Ireland today to share the first meeting in the Republic of Ireland between the Sinn F\u00e9in leadership and a member of the British Royal Family.<\/p>\n

But it got me thinking about how much Royal guarding and exposure we have had over the past three years.<\/p>\n

Last September, The Prince of Wales hosted a cultural evening<\/a> showcasing Welsh food, music and people for world leaders on the first day of the NATO Summit<\/a> we secured at the Celtic Manor and Cardiff.<\/p>\n

Just three months ago, Prince Charles visited the Lee Valley Tunnel and Abbey Mills Pumping Station<\/a> in his capacity as President of Water Aid to mark the 150th anniversary of London’s sewer network.<\/p>\n

The infrastructure is run by Thames Water, with whom we have a long-standing framework agreement, and our highest protection fencing system ArmaWeave is installed at Abbey Mills, among other Thames Water sites.<\/p>\n

It is, of course, within a stone’s throw of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic<\/a> Stadium, which was the principal venue for the London 2012 Olympics, which were opened by The Queen and for which we were the largest security fencing supplier.<\/p>\n

More recently, our installations in Glasgow for the 2014<\/a> Commonwealth Games kept Prince Charles’ two sons and The Queen’s grandsons secure as Prince Harry and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended events and visited volunteers.<\/p>\n

And Princess Kate and Prince William, who is President of the FA, first came across Zaun fencing when they opened the FA Centre<\/a> of Excellence, St George’s Park, at Burton-upon-Trent back in the autumn of 2012, where our perimeter fencing surrounds pitch no 2, the David Beckham pitch!<\/p>\n

As for this latest Royal trip, The Prince of Wales has arrived in Galway at the start of a four-day visit, including a meeting with Sinn F\u00e9in leader Gerry Adams among other politicians, including deputy leader Martin McGuinness at the University of Galway.<\/p>\n

Mr McGuinness previously met the Queen in 2012 in his role as Northern Ireland’s<\/a> deputy first minister. The handshake between Queen Elizabeth II and the former IRA commander at the Lyric Theatre in Belfast was considered historic.<\/p>\n

A year earlier, Michael Browne, the Sinn F\u00e9in mayor of Cashel, shook hands with the Queen in County Tipperary, making him the first party<\/a> member to meet British royalty.<\/p>\n

During his own trip, Prince Charles will visit the village<\/a> of Mullaghmore in County Sligo, where his great-uncle, Earl Mountbatten, was killed by an IRA bomb in 1979.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
