WHAT!?!
The centre pole?
Anyone?
Thanks Mike O’Brien
Update:
Absolutely correct. On poles of equal height the National flag should be flown first on the right(observer’s left). EU flag is correct too.

Irish ag first, then Europe as we’re in Europe, third is our closest neighbour, fourth recognises our long and strong relationship with the US…. And I have no idea what that is at the end, a brand flag for DAA I imagine.
What’s the issue again?
Ag, ^flag :)
National flag should be flown in the centre if the poles are the same height, but the leftmost pole is higher, so that’s where the tricolour should be.
Didn’t know that, ta.
neil and Papi have conflicting views on flag layouts…
This needs to be settled the old-fashioned way…
Flags at dawn? My protocol rules are for the flag being flown abroad, so I bow to superior knowledge if it’s different at home. We also have to have the EU one next, then host country.
No I could well be wrong about the centre thing, but certainly it should be highest/equal height to others.
(hugs it out)
Surely not self-flagellation?
“When displaying the flag, no flag should fly higher than the National Flag and it should be placed on the right of any formation, that is to the observers left.”

But what colour are the kerbstones?
You can see why I instigated the ICI.

And who can forget this classic from the land of the moving statues …

Think you’ll find statues are moving all over the place these days?
Britain contributes over 40% of overseas visitors and generates around 24% of all overseas tourism revenue in Ireland. Specifically, that’s 4.75m visitors worth €1.4 billion to the economy of the island.
Undoubtedly, Britain will remain an important tourism market for Ireland given the impact of the pandemic and the likelihood that few will travel to Ireland from other overseas destinations.
