Giant Ireland Flag

Skuxx

Anyone have an idea where I'd get a giant Irish flag in town? Herself is heading off to America next week for the summer and she's looking for an Irish flag to bring with her!!

Depends how big you want giant to be. Penneys have Irish flags at the moment.

Thanks, I'll send her in for a look!! I think she's looking for something around the size of a bath towel!

Standard flag size is 5x3, you should be able to find them in town given the euros and the olympics coming up.

Champion sports had them yesterday in Cork so they will more than likely have them in Limerick too. 7 euro if i remember correctly.

you could do worse too than buy three single bed white sheets in penneys, get some clothes dye in a crafts shop or hickeys on cruises street, then dye one sheet green, the other sheet orange, cut to size then just how big you want it (or just stitch the three sheets together as they are!) and then hem the sides- one giant irish flag!


aaand here's one i... ah no, i didnt! :pac:

Have a look up william street in euro shops & dealz should be able to pick one up cheap.

bazz26

Dunnes Stores have them for €10.

jluv

Bought 5ftx3ft last week in€ store for €2! She could buy a few to take as gifts:D

Wow - €2 - that's good. I love the bit of Patriotism that's around before the Euro 2012. I have a lot of friends heading off on J1's and they will also be flying the National Flag. Long me it continue.

Skuxx

Thanks lads, managed to pick one up yesterday in Gleesons Sports, €6 I think it was!
I was in Dunnes Jetland yesterday evening and they had massive ones, 3m x 5m I think they were, incase anyone wants to dress up the house!

The one great thing about being Irish is we never cheapen the flag. When I see Union Jack boxer shorts etc etc, makes me hope we never go overboard like that. Still large flags for €2 and €6 are great prices

im guessing you've never bought boxer shorts in penneys then!

and while you're at it, take a trip out to shannon airport, you can fill twenty suitcases with a whole array of oirish tri-color macmickey knick knacks!

it wouldnt surprise me if dealz downtown starts selling tri-color toilet roll in time to show your, erm, 'support' for the irish team in euro2012... :rolleyes:

actually you wouldnt happen to know where in limerick i could get one of those tri-color spandex body socks the guy wears in the harvey norman advert on tv?

its quite disturbing on so many levels but i'd almost have the balls to wear it down to the pub just for the giggles! :pac:

If you don't have the balls I would suggest a rolled up pair of socks!

Try the joke shop or Glitzi bitz in Arthur's quay. They're called morph suits.

Never been in Penneys, looks like I'm not missing much. I'd be interested in white toilet roll with a red cross on it;)
