No win for DCC in this one
Leave them up and it really is telling these lads they can do what they want.
Take them down and you’re playing into their hands
I despise how these right wing crowds steal the flag from us and try to turn it into a symbol of hate. It’s vile.
Same shit is happening here in Drogheda where a new piece of art with the star and crescent keeps getting vandalised, cause some nutters decided it was a call to arms for Muslims. And not a symbol with a long history here in Drogheda. They keep placing a flag over the symbol, as well as spray painting a cross on it (cause, as well know, the catholic church hasn’t caused any significant damage in Ireland).
A tiny tiny minority of racists trying to dictate to the larger community about who can live in that area.
so called patriots who sponge off the real workers in Ireland.

Reclaim our flag off these gobshites. Then whatever they start flying in instead, take that too.
We need to reclaim the flag. Make it a symbol of inclusiveness. Launch a major campaign to have everyone fly the flag and have migrants at the heart of the media campaign.
Any kerbs painted yet? I think that’s the next step
The cunts using the flag colours like this get their money from Brits.
Nationalism is…le bad
Leave the Irish flags. Put other flags alongside them.
These are plastered all around North Clondalkin as well, South Dublin County Council seem fairly proactive in taking them down but the proud patriots must have bought a bulk supply from Temu and they go right back up.
Honestly I don’t mind it, I hate the message they’re trying to get across but at least flags are festive. I think the best way to combat it is actually adding more flags, some EU ones and some Pride ones would look great
It’s….a flag….
Leave them up. Like everything else the scauldies are involved with, they’ll be neglected and fall to tatters and ultimately are a reflection on them
They’re just flags leave them there. I have one flying in my back yard myself.
shouldn’t they be flying their Russian flags? That’s who commands them through tiktok and facebook
Wait is the Irish flag like the American and British flags now?😭
Haha cant these paytriots stop copying the Brits? Operation raise the flags!! Jaysus
I assume the people putting them up are maintaining them, not letting them go to tatters, etc……….
It’s our national flag that symbolises us all, and we should be proud to fly it wherever and whenever without being made feel ashamed of doing that.
How do they distinguish between the flag of our nation and the flag of our nation put up by someone you disagree with?
Thoughtcrime, anyone?
Fuck the far right and anyone who is appropriating the flag for racist purposes, but how would anyone genuinely distinguish between an anti-immigrant tricolour and someone putting the flag up for a match or St. Patrick’s Day?
If the councils do anything, they should put up more flags. If they start taking down the tricolour they’re just going to drive more people towards that ideology.
Isn’t the law (often ignored) that the national flag can only be flown by official bodies?
For a load of irish nationalists these far right lads sure love copying the english
The flag(any flag) is a tool loved by fascists. It has always been the case and is one of early weapons taken to protect their movement. If you fight against they accuse you of being against what it represents and if you ignore it they take over the identity of it. It’s a complete mess.
Take down the flag and you play into their hands. Celebrate the flag and Ireland’s values, combine it with humanitarian and friendly messaging.
If you remove or demonise national flags, you’re just helping these people gain more traction. They can claim to be oppressed and victimised, and in a way, they are right. Run a campaign with everyone embracing the flag and make sure it is not at odds with immigration in the public consciousness, and the other way around
Immigration and national pride should be made compatible
You are doing either of them wrong if that’s not the case tbh
There’s been an issue with for-profit immigration where a few individuals make loads of money to the detriment of everyone else in Ireland, Britain, Germany, and who knows where else
I think you actually have to improve the immigration system too, not just tell people to shut up about it or you’re really empowering far right movements that want no immigration at all
i’d recommend everyone put it up than let it be co-opted, places of worship to community centers
I Send a complaint to lighting @ dcc. I simply drew attention to their own policy that states nothing can be hung from or attached to lamp posts without prior permission. Take the flag away from it and get them to enforce their own policies.
