Stormont Tricolour flag to be debated

[AKA pseudonym]

A Northern Ireland Assembly committee will discuss whether the Tricolour should fly alongside the Union Flag at Stormont as part of a debate on good relations.......
It will be the first time the issue has been debated at the Assembly.
No fixed date for the meeting has yet been set, however it could take place in the coming weeks.
Nationalist politicians have welcomed the news, while unionists are adamant the Irish national flag will not be flown.

I'm voting: Fly the Union flag and the Tricolour OPTION
EQUALITY as always

VOTE EARLY N OFTEN would be cool for us to win this in the interests of parity etc etc.....

Couldn't see the option to fly a red + black flag, so I went for fly the tricolour.

Fine, so long as it's regularly rotated through all our other EU neighbours' flags, otherwise, what's the point?

 

[19sixtysix]

There's the solution. Put up the flags of all the EU nations.

Why have you crept back under another name after being banned cobbles?

hmmm... I hear ya... but its the principle, we should have parity and not just the 'butchers apron' flying at that old bastion of loyalism... maybe a statue of Connolly to complement Carson too
tbh: I couldn't give a feck about any flags, its the principle!
btw: the poll has to be feckin rigged :-( We have been pushing hard and still no change...

The idea of having the Irish Tricolour flying above Stormont must really aggravate Unionists, poor sods, but it is entirely consistent with that special Northern Irish version of multikulti, 'equality of esteem'. If you refuse to fly the symbol of Irish identity, you are surely saying that it is less valued here than British identity.

Northern Ireland is a funny place. It is one of the Unionists' misfortunes that most British people don't have even one tenth of the loyalty to the Unionists that the Unionists have to Britain. I'm English and I have no preference at all about the solution to the Great Stormont Flag Question.

Looks like someone sorted it out themselves . Today the 2 union jacks were hauled down and replaced by a tricolour and a green Irish Republic flag . A team of builders repairing the roof are prime suspects . Unionists going hopping mad , police investigating . A hoo hah .

 

[DotCommunist]

will there be more fleg protests over this gross injustice?

 

[Casually Red]

Doubt it . There'll probably be arrests though . And maybe a few builders sacked too .

Why does everyone want the French flag flying in Ireland?
