FLAG POLICY REVIEW

REPLY:

Following receipt of a proposal from Councillor W. Carey to the Mayor and Chief Executive regarding 'the flying of any nations flag outside of public premises should not take place unless our national flag is been flown alongside and on a higher standard'. The matter was discussed at the July meeting of the Corporate Policy Group, in accordance with the decision-making process set out in the Flag Policy, and agreed to recommend amending the Flag Policy to require the flying of the National Flag when other flags are flying.

The proposed word change is included in the attached Flag Policy, section 2.0 The Irish National Flag, and is now before the members for approval.
