heard on newstalk there are lunchtime that Kevin Myers has suggested that we change the tricolour and use a Gold harp on a Green background as our national flag rather than the tricolour. The presidential standard is a gold harp on a blue background.
My own opinion is I think Myers suggestion is a good one. how about yourselves?
The Presidential standard.
Basically your saying fuck the orange fellas so ya?
I think it would represent even further dislocation from the 6 Counties, so i say NO.
Myers is probably thinking of something like thisā¦
Isnt that the Leinster flag? Are we going to annex the remaining three provinces? I am all for this if so.
maybe leinster will have to come up with a new flag.
Trust the usual muppets to come on showing their usual ignorance. 
But shur youāre asking for three other provinces to take on the flag of another province, thereād be no hope of that, even though Tipperary did sport Kilkennyās crest for decades in GAA terms. As for getting rid of the tricolour, Iād say no, not a goer.
How about we get rid of Myers instead
Guinness would love that anyway.
Bullshit idea anyway. Absolutely no need. The tricolour is a good representation of an ideal Ireland.

[/quote]+1 Nothing wrong with what we already use.
Myers is a legend.
Itād piss off the Provos, so Iād be in favour of it.
the greens the beauty of Irish pastures
the whites the pureness of the soul
the golds the wealth of Irish history
so rally round the flag that we love
[color="#FFFFFF"]cue some mong talking about the tricolour been orange
I think this is what Myers has in mind
I dont see what the big deal is, sure the orangemen that someone mentioned above call the orange part gold and think it represents the Pope and Vatican and not them.
Me I would have a flag with the four provinces symbols on it, that would be more inclusive than the tricolour.
thats a beautiful flag
Why only the four? Just because the Brits couldnāt rule the five and thought four would be better administered, itās no reason for us to follow suit. Restore Meath to the equation and Iād be happy to have the 5 provinces flag.
i thought the article was brutal. āFlag brandingā? What the fuck is wrong with him?
Another thinly veiled assault on Irish nationalism, which wouldnāt bother me that much if he wasnāt so much in love with British nationalism.
Indeed, and Ireland right in the middle as the 51st star on the flag. 
It would have to be a green star though so we stand out from the other stars.
