Ok so we'll have the Union Jack flying up the Shankill the Tricolour up the Falls and the new flag flying in Malone?????

2 flags are too much FFS no need for another one, who da fcuk gives a flying fiddlers about flegs other than dumbwits?

This place is a shit hole at times run by shit stirrers
Surely there's 3 if you include the NI flag / Ulster banner / call it what you will.  A flag acceptable to all to replace the NI flag / Ulster banner might be something to consider.  Given that a significant % of Catholics now have some sort of Northern Irish identity (If the last census is to be believed), I think a new flag is worth considering at least.

Why cause more hassle by introducing another flag. I for one will not be dropping my allegiance to the tricolour ever. The ulster flag Michael is different from ni flag as it covers Donegal, Monaghan and Cavan- I'm sure you know that.
This new NI identity will not fly.

Maybe it's our shared Ulster identity we should be focusing on, rather than the 'Northern Irish' identity, which is always going to be contentious.

Fully aware of difference between 6 and 9 county flags, as I'm pretty sure you gathered from my post.  As for your closing sentence, although it clearly does not appeal to you, the new NI identity does seem to be acceptable to a significant number of younger catholics in Northern Ireland.  Therefore, why not introduce a new NI flag acceptable to all.  Obviously both communities will still have an allegiance to the tricolour and Union Jack as well, but why not have a third flag acceptable to all?

Not enough green in it.....not enough blue in it (repeat 8,000 times). A more interesting flag question is 'if' Scotland votes for independence will the union flag be redesigned?

Northern Ireland is an abomination, it does not need a flag implying that it is normal place.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Ban flagpoles, problem solved.

Because it won't be acceptable to all so it is a stupid idea. We should just wait until Scotland votes for independance, surely the union jack can't exist then in it's current format.  :D

They lost 26 Counties but didn't remove St Patricks cross so they will hardly remove St Andrews if they lose another 33.
