    Noticed the Irish Flag is at half mast on a few government buildings this morning. Anyone know why? I'm guessing maybe for the firefighters. Maybe someone might be able to confirm?

    it could be his accountability, his credibility died long long ago.

    lol

    Seriously though-I thought there had to be directive issued to fly flags at half mast from government offices. We don't really go in for the whole flag flying business too much do we.
