Epona it is relevant inasmuch as the nationalist supporters in Norn Iron fly the Irish tricolour in a country where the Union jack is the official flag for better or for worse. These people I suggest would never fly the Union Jack, but would happily watch it burned. We do not have laws in this country about how the flag should be displayed, but I believe they do in the US. I was just attempting to point up the differences between our two countries.
