Should it be illegal to burn our national flag?

If you burnt it in your home, then no its not illegal, but if its in a public space or on someone else’s property, you should be fined and punished.

Yes, it should be illegal and should be disposed of properly but no one should go to jail for it only if it was done countless times and began to feel violent

Should be a fine

No, but there should be a fine

I don’t support it but it should not become illegal.

I don't believe it should be criminalised but I do not condone this sort of action.

No as its 1 flag

Accompanied by a 2 year course in civics

only if the flag is your property.

yes but and add an extra year to the sentence if there not irish

No, unless it is used to incite a crowd to riot

Only in a sectarian context

Make it legal to do so but only the Irish flag no other nations

No if in a safe context (peaceful, organised protest for example), Yes if it's hooliganism or hate speech.

Not necessarily illegal but there should be a fine or consequence

It should be legal if the country is attacking other countries or doesn't respect human rights to education etc. Example currently Russia and Afghanistan. Otherwise should be treated as offenses if done for fun, entrainment only with no important purpose.

Yes, but only if it is done out of racism towards Ireland

If any country do anything bed(e.g. war) people can do it

Yes and The Person shall be punished severly

Should be illegal but brining the flag means they don’t like the county so deport them

The flag should be fireproof.

It is a piece of cloth.

If they so chose to then they shouldn't be living in the UK

If they so chose to then they shouldn't be living in Ireland if they hate it that much

No, it is just a piece of cloth, nationalism should not be a thing

No bc if they do I will fart on them

Yes, and make it a criminal offence.

I don't support the UK anyways.

It's up to you

as long as they are not trying to incite violence then it is not a crime, but I don't agree with burning of the Irish flag.

Yes but no, it violates free speech but it also is frowned apon

It's disrespectful but it shouldn't be illegal

Yes Aslong it's not where someone would be offended

We should be focused on bigger problems then the legality of burning a flag eg. climate change

Not a fan of burning the Irish flag, but citizens should get tax credits for burning the Israeli flag publicly.

Don't really have an opinion

This is done in the North by Loyalists to oppress Irish people living in the North on 12th July. For this reason alone, it should be illegal to burn the flag of any nation.
