Special Visitors
One of Áras an Uachtaráin's most special visitor was Queen Victoria. She was
the only monarch to visit three times . In 1849 they built the State Dining
room for her because she was claustrophobic.
Every special
visitor who visits Áras plants a tree in the grounds. The Pope was no exception
the spade he used is in the musem under Áras an Uachtaráin.
