Flag Row Sparks Tensions in NI Power-Sharing
02:02|Newly released files from the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland reveal early tensions in the power-sharing government after the Good Friday Agreement. In 1999, Sinn Féin ministers refused to fly the Union flag at their departments on Christmas Day, sparking fury among unionists. This led to a standoff over flag regulations, highlighting deep divides. The row prompted then Secretary of State Peter Mandelson to introduce new flag regulations at Westminster later that year. Meanwhile, other files uncover quirky disputes like a 2002 debate over banning aggressive football shirts in offices and a 2004 clash over a Sinn Féin Christmas card. These papers also touch on SARS planning in 2003 and nineteen sixty-one census headaches from IRA threats. They paint a vivid picture of Northern Irelands bumpy path to shared governance.
