Should it be illegal to burn the Irish flag?
Flag desecration is any act that is carried out with the intention of damaging or destroying a national flag in public. This is commonly done in an effort to make a political statement against a nation or its policies. Some nations have acts that ban flag desecration while others have laws that protect the right to destroy a flag as a part of free speech. Some of these laws distinguish between a national flag and those of other countries.

No, it's just a piece for cloth. Person who feels the need to burn it has bigger issues and we have better use of our legal resources.

If it is for discriminatory reasons, like loyalist bonfires, British nationalists, etc then yes, Idk any other case of burning an Irish flag because of this
@B4LP8295 days5D
Yes, it is the flag of the freedom fighters of this country, and anybody who burns it is atleast associated with loyalists, or are hooligans
@9ZTDF4K5mos5MO
No, it is the proper the respectful way to dispose of a nations flag as long as its done respectfully
@9ZMGKRG 5mos5MO
It should be considered the same as vandalising public/private property and the consequences reflect that as an act of violence/vandalism.
@9ZL76C25mos5MO
Why would this be a question, the only people who would burn the Irish flag is the woke fools in this country
