Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

On a different issue, I would like to enlist the help of the Leader, as a former Minister for Education. A letter appeared in yesterday's edition of The Irish Times from the National Graves Association regarding the growing disrespect for the tricolour. This was heightened considerably in the last local elections when one party in particular seemed to appropriate the national flag, the national emblem. Not only has it appropriated it but the manner in which it publicly exhibited it conveyed a grave disrespect to the national flag.
