Residents In Swords Estate Told To Take Down Irish Flags By Management Company
Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy
About
A row has kicked off in a private housing estate in Swords after the management company emailed residents giving them three days to remove eight Irish tricolours hanging from lampposts.
On this episode, Adrian and Jeremy ask: do management companies have every right to enforce the rules… or should people be allowed fly their own flag with pride wherever they want in their estate?
Callers are furious, arguing it’s “our flag, our island” and claiming the tricolour is treated differently to other flags. Others say it’s simple: you don’t own the lamppost, and flags on poles look tacky and can cause division.
