I think we need an update or a redesign. Maybe when we’re a united island or something. Some redesigns look class
It’s grand but even an update on the proportions or something would be nice
I saw heaps of them all over Drumcondra yesterday. What was that all about?
I’m not a fan of the new flag. It’s all about religions that hardly anyone cares about anymore, that were only ever used to divide people in the first place.
I’d prefer the harp, or even the starry plough, or something new and outside of the protestant versus catholic divide.
It would have been a perfect flag for a united Ireland
Green for Ireland
Orange for the north
White for the peace between them.
I think thats the way it goes, but the North would never accept that flag (because they consider it a South Ireland flag). they would want a new flag now.
Maybe take out the white just green and orange (maybe a harp in the centre or Ireland the island in the centre). What do you think.
Fleg!
We need to start bringing it to positive, friendly, open minded stuff more prominently again. I find it depressing the way the Irish flag’s being cooped into a hate symbol by those far right groups. If we don’t, it won’t be long before the flag’s seen as a symbol of xenophobia, which would be a very sad state of affairs.
Give it 5 years and people will say it’s racist to have that flag
Wee men and their wee flegs will do all of us over
I’m not patriotic at all but I always loved the fact that the flag was associated with happy times like Italia 90, St Patrick’s day parades, wiping the floor in the Eurovision. Flags being waved around by pissed up lads having the craic.
It’s sickening seeing it being waved at anti immigrant marches and protests. It’s not Irish to be anti immigration. Even if you have concerns about the governments approach to refugees don’t fucking wave that flag around like it’s inherently Irish to congregate to spread fear and anger about disadvantaged people.
It’s exactly why I’m not patriotic, even a country as small as Ireland is chock full of fucking idiots.
There are 68 tricolor flags in the World. The Harp is our national symbol. The gold harp on emerald green is a beautiful flag and should be our national flag. Only Ireland can fly it.
One fine day, maybe hopefully, the people represented by the orange bit will understand the meaning of the Tricolour
Fair bitta business there now
If you don’t like the far right co-opting the tricolour, then start flying it every chance you get. If you go to Sweden they have flagpoles in their garden. We should do the same.
Needs to be raised on every house in our beautiful country
Indeed.
Now if we can get dickheads to stop wrapping themselves in it, we’ll be fucking golden.

It’s classy, we aren’t one of those countries that plaster it outside every house and dumb it down.
Long Live The Ivory Coast !!!
I always preferred the flag with the harp on the green background.
