But not relevant to Protestants living in Northern Ireland today , who also celebrate this religious festival. The official colour for St Patrick is blue - the Tricolour is the national flag of the Republic of Ireland. They are not interchangeable.
Nobody said the two flags were interchangeable; the point is that the Republic of Ireland flag is very relevant to the holiday of Saint Patrick.
It’s even relevant to the “Northern Irish” who geographically are farther south compared to some people in the Republic of Ireland. They might not want unity with their Catholic neighbors but they should consider the fact that Saint Patrick himself was a Catholic.
Religion has nothing to do with it - the majority of people in Northern Ireland prefer to remain as part of the United Kingdom. And I still fail to see how the flag that was frequently draped over the coffins of dead, murderous, terrorist scum has any connection to a Christian Saint.
