Foley's pub/restaurant, Merrion Row, Dublin 2 (near St. Stephen's Green) has been flying the national flag of Israel.
The move began when the proprietor learned of the annual celebration of Israel's Independence Day, Yom Hatzmaut, which this year fell on 26 April and was celebrated in Dublin on Monday 30 April, and decided to fly the blue-and-white Star of David flag of Israel in honour of the occasion.
Despite pressure from some predictable quarters to remove the flag,
the pub has courageously continued to fly it.
If you happen to be in that part of town and are considering where to have lunch or are planning a meeting,
