The sight of our national flag has become a common feature at anti-immigration protests and gatherings around the country, and, more recently, the Tricolor has started appearing on lampposts and poles across Dublin city centre. Some have suggested the Tricolour is being weaponised by far-right agitators as a symbol of intimidation, and that its proliferation in public spaces is leaving certain communities feeling unwelcome. So, how are people interpreting the proliferation of this flag-flying? And who makes the rules on how — and by whom — our national flag is used?

Over the past 20 years, Limerick has been widely regarded as a shining example of urban regeneration, and it seemed that the place once dubbed "stab city" had finally exorcised the dark forces and dangerous criminals that had plagued it. But with gangland violence on the rise once again, have those old demons come back to haunt it?

Twenty-five years ago, as a long summer drew to a close, a night out ended in tragedy. It changed the lives of four young men forever, ending another’s far too soon.

It happened in an unlikely place, the leafy, affluent suburb of Donnybrook in south Dublin.

A fight broke out among a group of young men outside Anabel’s nightclub. When it was over, 18-year-old Brian Murphy lay on the ground. Hours later, he was pronounced dead.

What followed wasn’t just a murder investigation - it was a case that exposed a deep divide in Irish society.
