Whats funny is that in Belfast today, people are overwhelmingly in the tricolor. The use of the tricolor vs the union jack is usually a contentious issue. I think this is the one day of the year where the tricolor isn't met with some form of contention.

It's also quite interesting that both Belfast and Dublin on the whole ar ebecoming extremely cosmopolitan. You tend to think of Dublin as the quintesential Irish city, truth is that it is experiencing a HUGE influx of immigrant labor, especially from places like Lithuania, Latvia, China, Malaysia, etc. It can be very hard to find people who speak English or are native Irish in Dublin.

Ahh the Celtic Tiger at work.
