With all the historical connotations in that area, it was going to offend some sensibilities. I think there are people at the top of the Irish establisment who had certain vested interests in guaging the reaction to it.
Didn't MacAleese herself mention that the idea of re-joining the Commonwealth was one which interested her? At least Stormont is overtly British controlled.
In that respect, it is at least more honest about it's nature.

Yes, it had "test case" written all over it. The concept of "good fences make good neighbours" is an abomination to the EU integration, Globalist types. That is not an argument for any "Peace Lines" or even partition, but I am saying that no one should be forced to accept the unacceptable without a reaction. Union Jacks and Lambegs in Dublin cross the line. Anyone could have told them that. It just is. Like water is wet.
