This Dublin Kid Wrote To The Queen To Get The 6 Counties Back – And Here’s The Response

Kids do the darndest things, like write letters to monarchs to kindly ask for entire counties.

Appearing on Newstalk today, Reese explained the reasoning behind his letter,

His mother also told how she allowed Reese to post the letter in February thinking nothing would become of it, only to get this response last week...
