"On the following Monday, he suddenly texts me, asking what my bank details are and wondering if I managed to get a PPS number. I assume the hotel has found out that I am a journalist because I told some of my colleagues before I left."
 
Being from the north (legend) I have never been a fan of flags. Always been a vibe I wasn't interested in. But, since I've been out of the north since 2005, I've slowly come round. Seeing the tricolour on Paddy's day and at matches etc, the sense of Irishness and pride has developed.

Now a massive big tricolour has been put up on the road outside our gaff, and it's pure intimidating fleg vibes all over again. Sucks.
 
Irish Freedom Party fool John Leahy supporters covered a motorway exit bridge going into Roscrea with tricolours and his European election posters. Someone was in a parked car on the bridge 24/7 for most of week leading up the European elections as you cannot leave banners there unattended.
Stopping this now is extremely important. Don't let racists high jack the tricolour. Most European flags have toxic nationalistic / far right vibes. Because of a very long colonial history (and never having a leftist government) Irish nationalism is anti imperialist and overwhelingly left wing.
The tricolour was originally designed to represent tolerance, peace and anti imperialism. Gaining control of the tricolour would be a huge victory for the far right.

Harmless drunk Irish soccer/sports fans have made friends all over the world. The far right call anti racists "traitors" but welcome support from British right wing media and make alliances with British far right.

I have always been extremely wary of national flags and clothes. I only have some Palestine things. But I was always proud of Irish neutrality (even it is very flimsy) and the lack of organised racist groups here.
Please don't let Irish symbols become toxic.

My cousin wanted to set up a group “Irish Muslims for Trump”.
I think about this a lot.

similarly....

“Some of us went in with flags to scream, ‘Free Palestine’.” said one young man who wouldn’t identify himself. Trump was talking about ending taxes on tips. “The flags got snatched from us. We got booed. We got kicked. I still support Trump though.”
