The Irish Tri-Colour Centre Stage
“I think any councillor… that feels intimidated, by my flag, in my country, should maybe find another country to go to”
Cllr Malachy Steenson on RTE News
RTE interviewed Malachy Steenson in relation to a alleged controversy and complaints by politicians and others who find flying of the Irish flag in Ireland deeply offensive, even hateful.
Full transcript of Malachy Steensons’s comments aired by RTE News:
“I think any councillor in Dublin City Council that feels intimidated by my flag, in my country, should maybe find another country to go to …I think that if they are taken down that the people who erected them will put them up in bigger numbers and I think that other communities around the country will see this as an attack on our flag and an attack on our nation and our people”
