What flag to fly next?

Then, when that wore out, it got replaced by a Jolly Roger. Another sign of independence.

That has also reached the end of its service life. I'm sortof considering flying a quarrantine flag next, but as it's a plain yellow square, I'm not sure anyone would figure it out.

So, what are your suggestions, dear Boardsies?

You're a Moran and therefore originating from Connaught.
What about the Connaught Flag?
http://www.flagsandbannersgalway.com/images/connaught%20flag.gif

The Leinster flag (also the symbol of the United Irishmen) is also class for sheer coolness. I have one myself:
http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/images/symbols/leinster.gif

Both of these are freely available on the net (I got mine for around 15 euros in Dublin)

An Ó Móráin flag would be harder to get ahold of but also looks savage:

Didn't he put it up the right way in the end though?
And then got shot for it.

Speaking of, I'd probably get shot if I put up a Confederate flag as well.

How about the original Californian state flag? I was over there in August and seen a few of them. Got a t-shirt with it printed on it. Pretty cool, original and harks back to the old frontier days and exploration of the American west.

I'm sure you will a better print then this image!

They'd probably be justified in doing it if you choose the proposed EU flag from a few years back.

Since the flagpole is attached to my house and my house is made of wood, I'm not entirely sure that would end well for me.
