Kevin Myers article on the Irish tricolour
Here's an article to polarise opinion....
Personally, I would have no problem in ditching the Tricolour for something more distinctive and instantly recognisable as Irelands flag (instead of being confused with the Italian or Cote d'Ivoire flags).
The Harp is the obvious choice, or the Shamrock, but I'd hate to see Aer Lingus being our 'Flag Carrier', and the Leinster flag would be very close to the Harp on a background 'national' flag.
Ideas, opinions ?
And let's keep it friendly, ok ?
ps, Someone should tell Myers that black is not a primary colour, and that green actually is !
