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.

No, it is the proper the respectful way to dispose of a nations flag as long as its done respectfully
@9ZMGKRG 2mos2MO
It should be considered the same as vandalising public/private property and the consequences reflect that as an act of violence/vandalism.
@9ZL76C22mos2MO
Why would this be a question, the only people who would burn the Irish flag is the woke fools in this country
@9ZJL48V2mos2MO
If a flag burning incited violence against the people from that country, no. Otherwise yes but I don't think it is ethical
@9ZJQ8WZ2mos2MO
Personally I think it should be illegal but I also acknowledge other people's opinions and the right to free speech
