and yet they kept the church hand in the pot when they announced the new irish maternity hospital, WHY. it does not send a good signal that the church and state are separating.Change what a flag, removal of church from school structures there is already a majority for these
it not just separating church and state, you would need to take a leaf out of the "norths" book and make work places a neutral work space ie no religious/political symbols
the flag not personal a issue for me i can see were it coming from the orange and the green, how ever for many every time they see it, it reminds them of every ira/inla member that died and had it draped over there coffin. or every time they came on TV to take "responsible" for some atrocities it was there in the background.
it also say that we are two people not one. in this new ireland a flag that says we are "one" people. different but the same would be nice
See not impossible have a conversation, but everything needs to be on the table troubles, sectarianism, civil right abuses, flags, and future.
100% right, talk is good and your right everything need to be on the table
including what went on in the RoI. what the RoI government did. What help they give the IRA, and what help they got from other bodies with in Ireland.
at the moment it just seems to be about what the British did. yes the North has a dark and dirty past. but so has the south
