Flags on Water Tower Spark Tension | Limerick News

Unionist flags were illegally hoisted on a water tower in Rathfriland, County Down — a repeat of a 2019 incident involving broken padlocks and suspected trespass. Local Sinn Féin councillor Michael Rice condemned the act as intimidation and territorial aggression, sparking community frustration. The flags have since been removed, and Rice plans to meet police and NI Water to prevent future incidents, urging anyone with info to come forward. This episode underscores how symbols can fuel division — and the hope is that dialogue will pave the way for peace.
