Clip from The Anti-Broadcast 22nd April 2026
In a controversial speech in the Seanad, Senator Eileen Flynn admitted she is “terrified” to attend any protest where she sees Ireland’s national flag — which she repeatedly called the “tri-flag.” She described it as an “absolute disgrace” for a public representative to feel afraid of the tricolour and claimed the flag has been “overtaken” by the far-right at events like the recent fuel protests.Her comments have ignited widespread outrage across Ireland, with many accusing her of showing contempt for the country’s national symbol, its history, and the Irish people who proudly fly it.Is the Irish flag now a symbol of “hatred” in the eyes of some politicians? Or is this just another example of elites being disconnected from ordinary citizens?Watch the full clip and decide for yourself.What do you think? Should a Senator be “terrified” of Ireland’s own flag? Drop your thoughts in the comments
