[edit] NI anthem

Hi Stuart. On the Northern Ireland edit recently, you asked "Why on Earth is a "citation needed" for the National Anthem of part of the United Kingdom!". Well, officially, Northern Ireland doesn't really have one. Scotland and Wales are part of the UK, and they have their own. Typically at sporting events God save the Queen is played if the person is protestant, or the organisers are English, or The soldier song if the competant is catholic. I see what you're saying, but because we don't have any real individuality, unique culture, or even much pride in Northern Ireland, does't mean we should just take our flags, anthems etc. from other countries. Reading back of this, it looks a bit aggressive, but it's not really. All the best! :) Pauric 01:37, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
