尽管公众压力要求移除三色旗,都柏林市议会在2025年仍保留了三色旗,原因是极右翼滥用。
Dublin City Council kept tricolour flags up in 2025 despite public pressure to remove them over far-right misuse.
在2025年底,都柏林市议会收到262条公开信息,其中95%要求在公共场所移除三色旗,理由是担心它们被极右翼团体用来促进分裂,恐吓少数民族,并利用爱尔兰的国标.
In late 2025, Dublin City Council received 262 public messages, 95% of which called for the removal of tricolour flags displayed in public spaces, citing concerns they were being used by far-right groups to promote division, intimidate minorities, and exploit Ireland’s national symbol.
包括社区领袖和活动家在内的批评者认为,国旗正被武器化,用于推进排外法西斯议程,这与英国的类似运动相似。
Critics, including community leaders and activists, argued the flags were being weaponized to advance exclusionary, fascist agendas, mirroring similar campaigns in Britain.
该理事会选择不去除旗帜,害怕升级,而是致力于通过对三色的原始含义 -- -- 民族主义的绿色、联合主义的橙色以及和平的白色 -- -- 进行教育来解决根本原因,以此作为团结和包容的象征。
The council chose not to remove the flags, fearing escalation, and instead committed to addressing root causes through education about the tricolour’s original meaning—green for nationalism, orange for unionism, and white for peace—as a symbol of unity and inclusivity.
一些官员支持这一决定,认为这是一个有节制的反应,但尚未执行任何广泛的地方倡议,以促进国旗的包容性意义。
Some officials supported the decision as a measured response, but no widespread local initiatives to promote the flag’s inclusive significance have yet been implemented.
