A top presenter says Ireland shouldn't be watching Monday's state funeral because Elizabeth is 'not their Queen'.
Newstalk's Kieran Cuddihy says broadcaster RTE should be showing something else instead.
He told listeners to his show that he is dumbfounded about why taxpayer money is being spent to bring the coverage to the country.
The host isn't the only person from Ireland with views on the monarchy. Pop twins Jedward have had plenty to say and have been slammed for their twitter rants following the death of the sovereign last week.
The Queen's funeral is set to be one of the most watched television events in history when she is laid to rest on Monday.
The Irish Mirror report that the presenter is not pleased by the decision to spent money bringing the ceremony to the nation's front rooms.
Speaking on Newstalk, he said: "You have a wave of nostalgia sweeping across the nation just across the pond.
"But I didn't realise that wave of nostalgia, that nostalgia for the days of empire had even reached these shores.
"And it reached Dublin, and it reached Donnybrook and Montrose to be precise.
"RTE television are going to televise the Queen's funeral, they are sending Ray Kennedy and others over the London on Monday and from half 10 they are going to have a special programme so that everyone in Ireland can gather around the television set in the corner, around its warm glow, and watch her majesty's commemoration.
"That's right, that's what they are spending taxpayer's money on.
"Remember everything that's broadcast on RTE is taxpayer's money.
"And I know they'll say there is people up North for whom the Queen is head of state, but I hate to break it to RTE, but those people are not watching RTE."
He added: "She's not our Queen so I don't know why we're spending our money putting it on our national broadcaster."
Chances are, John and Edward Grimes probably agree with him.
They have claimed they’ve received death threats over comments they made about the monarchy after the Queen’s death last week.
The pop pair refuse to relent with their anti-monarchy crusade.
The Irish double act - who shot to fame on the X-Factor in 2009 - have peppered people's twitter timelines with political rants, sparking outrage after criticising the Royal family.
Blaming the British monarchy for 'oppressing' their country, the twins, 30, decided the time was right to educate the world, despite a ten-day period of mourning being announced.
On Sunday, as the Queen's coffin travelled from Balmoral to Edinburgh, they were back to remind people "in denial about Britain’s Imperialist past" that they "need to get a grip".
'Abolish Jedward' was trending on twitter as they were dubbed 'talentless', 'obnoxious' and 'irrelevant' by angry Brits.
