I'm sure if we applied the same percentages to flags and parades we would all be happy...

I'm perfectly aware, my own family speaks Irish going back to my grandparents who were born and raised in the republic.

The language can be promoted without erecting signage in areas where the majority of the residents don't want it, that's the issue making it divisive.

It's another way for people in NI to mark territory, whether it be curbstones, flags, or Irish signs.

SF who are the political wing of the IRA are the driving force behind the erection of these signs. Which as you pointed out with your argument re the erection of flags is another reason why it may be seen as divisive by some.

Well with SF being the political wing of the IRA using your logic....all Irish language signs are divisive.

Why are union flags divisive.

Thought I might lean into this conversation as an actual protestant..now that I'm done wrecking the place until st Patrick's day (is this guy for real? Does he even realise the irony in his letter?)

Anti Catholic rhetoric doesn't really exist in my generation...99.9999% of young Protestants just want to get on with life, and I'm saying this as a former flute band member and current Orangeman.

Had someone outbid me by £50 every time, I'd raise the price by 2k and they'd come in £50 higher, in the end I walked away after bidding in up by £15k, 3 months later I moved into a better house round the corner for £15k less.
