Status, Treatment and Use of the National Anthem
10:00 am
Mr. Nial Ring:
Labhair an Seanadóir Ó Domhnaill faoi tagairt d'Amhrán na bhFiann a bheith sa Bhunreacht. Regarding the national flag, protocols and guidelines, the flag is mentioned simply, so referring to "Amhrán na bhFiann" could be done just as simply. Article 7 reads: "The national flag is the tricolour of green, white and orange." D'fhéadfadh rud cosúil leis sin, atá an-simplí, a bheith ann. Tá an ceart ag an gcomhairleoir gur chóir go mbeadh sé sa Bhunreacht.
