To distinguish 'republic of ireland ships' from others may not be suitable, given how companies are flying flags of convenience. consider irish ferries. if they regularly ply irish ports then we should consider them to be irish ClemMcGann 23:07, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- I have a real problem with such a simplistic take on the matter. There are a number of major british shipping companies trading regularly into irish ports. Under this proposal they would automagically become irish. MurphiaMan 22:02, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- Problem is that considering the direction taken by Irish Ferries, there soon might br no Irish companies. Would we have to change all when companies & theirt ships register with a different flag. Then there are the British companies, P&O have a regular freight roro from Dublin, I would like some way of including them. Stenna in Dun Laoghaire is scandavian. So, have you a suggestion?
