Good removing them only makes the flag seem like a racist one. It’s our flag, fly it in the capital as much as you want

I think this is the right move you don’t want to fuel the narrative

Excellent news. Fly them high and proud.

Good, the people that put them up would only relish them being taken down

It must be a trying time for the knuckledragging racists up north, who can’t show what fucking terrible humans they are because they already have every lamppost filled with flags.

Please let this be an end to this absurd debate and narrative that is entirely made up by the far-right and accelerated by the division-hungry media — completely embarrassing that it was a topic of conversation during the feckin’ presidential election.
If arseholes want to erect the flag for the ‘wrong’ reasons, that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still our flag and it flying in public shouldn’t be an issue. They would only LOVE if they were ordered to take it down so they can march on with the “the system is against us/censoring our irishness” narrative.
One of the most transparently astroturfed, fake controversies of the last five years.

Do what I’ve seen in a few places – hang a LGBT, Palestine, Ukraine or EU flag just above it.

Good, put up more with advertising that says Ireland welcomes immigrants etc. You can’t “take back our flag” unless you actively take it back.

If you have a problem with the Irish flag, then you seriously need to look at yourself.
There are 2 main sides on this shambles.
The right wingers who are trying to hijack the flag and give it a reputation similar to the English flag.
The left wingers who seem to hate the Irish flag and already see it having the same reputation as the English flag.
Both sides are morons and are just as bad as each other.

Honestly why remove it and make it about anti immigration propaganda. We just embrace it for unity and everyone moves on. Maybe we put more up!

When your own national flag is being seen as a hate symbol it’s a sign that you have been invaded.

Completely agree! I honestly think they should fly the tricolour at the anti-anti-immigration protests as well to show them that they can’t take our flag for their racist agenda

Good, don’t give the concerned far right halfwits more fuel for their bullshit narrative

Saw on of the donkeys with one flying on his car yesterday. As a nationalist I found it damn insulting! If you’re going to fly our nations flag then give it the respect it deserves. This particular scrote was flying a ripped and dirty flag which is a disrespectful thing to do. Not hard to spot the ones hung in hate. They leave them there to rot.

I think coming from a Canadian living here. I love seeing the tricolour, I don’t see it as offensive at all.
I feel like taking it down would be insulting to most Irish people, would it not?

a better idea would be for the council to put up more tricolours, officially, along with Palestine, Ukraine and Pride flags.

Even before all the far right an anti immigrant stances,I always thought as a natuon we were too shy in having our national flag being flown.

I prefer the terms “pro-underpopulation”, and “pro-stagnation”. Just saying they’re anti-immigration doesn’t properly highlight how destructive they are.
