tricolour stickers...

Táck

not sure if this should go here, as its more dublin county then city. maybe for after hours...

but has anyone seen lots of tricolour stickers around the county of late. i've seen them all over. usually on the back of signs facing the opposite direction. some small, like a plaster, some bigger, like the size of an average remote control.

I have seen these as well. They are on lamposts usually. I also saw some Scottish flags in Finglas also.

The National Flag should be more prominent in society, clean flags on public buildings etc but sticking it willy nilly about the place like advertising stickers is disrespectful.

I think those stickers began with taxi drivers using them on the roof sign as a 'tactful' way of indicating that the driver was Irish.

It drives my old lad nuts when the flags are not lowered at sundown as per protocol.

And then we have all those Irish soccer fans who seem to think nothing of defacing it - e.g. 'Davy Keogh says hello' et al.

It's time to reintroduce Civics at school.

SF sellotaped many small Irish tricolours to lamposts in the Dublin 12 area in the run-up to Easter, making the place look much like a republican stronghold of the north.

Anyways they never removed them and most are now filthy and tattered, very disrespectful to the flag.

they're out the M1 aswell on the bottom of a lot of the sign posts. On the side facing you though, not on the back.
Weird.

Some people don't like the Orange

Maybe some people think it's white and yellow for the Pope!;)

e.g. the idiot who recently put "prods out" graffiti near Kilbarrack Station.
