John Arnold: Tricolour is the best flag option

No flag other than the tricolour is better placed to symbolise an inclusive Ireland, according to veteran GAA official John Arnold.

The Bride Rovers man has read and listened as GAA president Aogán Ó Fearghail said in November that the GAA should keep “an open mind” about its use of the tricolour and the national anthem at games.

Earlier this week, Tyrone manager Mickey Harte suggested the association could stop the practice of showing allegiance to both but only “when the time is right”.
