I think it was a silly prank ,however how much money is going to be wasted investigating it.

    Well done to whoever did this as a massive wind up. It's a flag, hardly the end of the world. Some respect for the Irish Flag would go a long way in this country and demonstrate a willingness to move forward. If the loyalists stopped getting so het up about it they would gain massive respect.


    Have a read here if interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Ireland and scroll down to symbolism. What the flag represents is denoted there. Is that not what we are striving for?

    Might have been a fife player called J Galway stirring thing up?? :rotfl:
  • I seems pretty obvious it must have been some of the labourers working on the building work going on at Stormont so obviously was a prank.... it is quite amusing but it's a shame some young lad will probably get a ruddy good bollocking and no doubt "let go" from his job over some harmless fun that probably started out as a bit of banter over a sausage roll at lunchtime. !!
