(See no offence there 😉) Just about to round up the lynch mob until I saw your perfectly plausible explanation 😃 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Given the trouble over the years, I was surprised there hadn't been calls to change the flag. I was also thinking along the lines of harps, shamrocks etc. Maybe we should go the whole hog,A pint of Guinness, some bacon & cabbage,a hurley & 'Top of the mornin to ya Begorra on the side!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

RiseAgainst 3,776 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Genuine question - where does the white element originate from in the Irish flag? I'm always fascinated by the reasons behind the colour choices in national flags. Link to post Share on other sites

When you start digging into it, its amazing how complicated politics was back then. Ruling families intermarrying all over the place...then family feuds starting wars anyway. Anyway, at least we can blame that one on the Dutch. Definitely not our fault! 😁 Link to post Share on other sites
