Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

I am not asking for legislation in this regard but this is an education process. The Leader might convey to the Minister for Education and Science that some sort of a module should be introduced into our schools, perhaps in the context of the current civics class for the junior certificate, which would inculcate into the minds of our young citizens a respect for the national flag. The flag has been besmirched by violence over the past three decades. It is time we as a nation took back the national flag for all the citizens of this country, not only for one exclusive sector.
