The Motion read as follows :
this council will ask the chief executive to ensure/confirm that the irish flag will fly permanentely outside the county hall
if the motion is passed arrangements will be made for the national flag to be raised and lowered during office hours will be put in place
Councillor Matthew Waine of the Solidarity People Before Profit party opposed the Motion to fly the Irish Flag .
In his address to other Councillors Mr Waine says :
I dont really agree with this . we have one of the most multicultural populations of the whole country living in fingal and I think we need to consider the sensitivity of this , because the issue of religion , language nationality , all of those issues are extremelty sensitive.
I think we should flow the flags of minority groups
I come from the tradition of the workers movement , the labour movement which doesn't see the country of your birth being anything really significant
I would prefer to see the red flag fly outside county hall here , maybe in the future that will be the case- Councillor Matthew Waine (solidarity-PBP party)
Mr Waine's Views met with strong rebuke from Independent councillor Jimmy Guerin , the brother of murdered journalist Veronica Guerin who said :
I take offence at the comments of councillor wayne .
I'm not surprised at him suggesting we fly a red flag , in fairness you've been appointed to the council by someone who only last week told us that our inspiration is from the russian revolution ,
so i dont think we shoud take surprise at anything thats said by councillor wayne and I'd be very supportive of this motion , I'm very proud to be irish , I'm very proud of my flag and i think it is a very appropriate and well thought through motion- councillor Jimmy Guerin (Independent)

that video of Yale Students attacking the Professor is disgusting . Of Course , Yale is the home of Cultural Marxism in the USA . To think that anyone would be rewarded for such behaviour is very worrying indeed .

Gemma is so right . How does it benefit irish people , if foreign corporations come here , pay very little tax , hire mostly foreign workers and send profits back to foreign shareholders and then silence any criticism .

he'll soon realise the reality , that communism = oppression , the government become the bourgeoisie or middle class , everyone else is left to fight it out for scraps of food while they enrich themselves at the expense of the working class
this idea to fly the communist flag is highly offensive not only to irish people but also people from eastern europe who are living in fingal
if a picture could paint a thousand words , it would show how far the country has fallen over the past 100 years
now ruled over by communists and europhiles
