At least eight key Government advisors and senior civil servants attended last week’s royal banquet at Windsor Castle for the official state visit of President Michael D Higgins, according to details published on the official website of the British monarchy.
While full guest list information was not forthcoming through official Irish channels last week, a breakdown of exactly who got a seat at the most sought after of diplomatic dinners emerged in the weekend circular.
