at least there's one painted above the door... at least there's one painted above the door...And in fairness correctly painted higher than the Irish Tricolour and to the right.
Protocol that is frequently forgotten by many Irish-Americans who sadly sometimes seem to wish to emphasize the “Irish” bit more than the “American” part of the equation.
Actually strike that, on reading further I see that in fact when the US flag is displayed flat against a wall (as this is) “the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right, that is, to the observer’s left”. So actually the Irish flag is being given prominence here, however
“When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.”
So MacSorleys have managed to disrespect both flags at the same time. Do you want to let them know or should I?
