Cork's army of loyal GAA fans vowed to rebel against calls to ban the red and white American Confederate flag from matches.
The Socialist Worker's Party (SWP) claim the flag is racist and insults people from ethnic backgrounds but the Cork County Board insist fans are unaware of its connotations.
A vast red and white sea of flags proudly flutters in the breeze at the Rebel County's All-Ireland Championship matches, but the SWP is determined to have one of them banned.
The SWP in Ireland are about as powerful as Socialist Labour here. So the red and white flags will be flying over Gælic football matches for a long time, I'll bet.
Stumble It!
