This episode, once again drawing inspiration from Irish News articles from 1925 and 1975, explores debates on Irish national symbols and identity. Topics include the 1925 flag (tricolour vs harp) and anthem (Soldier's Song / Amhrán na bhFiann) controversies. They discuss how accents, sport, and symbols reflect identity and division under partition in Ireland and they recall some contrasting views on Ireland's and the UK’s EEC membership back in 1975 with some interesting reflections on how parties have changed their stances on the topic of Europe.
