A lad I know via on-line communications recently posed the following comments:
A question, all the old FCA / RDF flags are stood down and the RDF
have new flashes, so why on Paddy's day in cork city have the
military police RDF carry flags that are stood down I cant understand it.
I never heard of this, is it some sort of a tradition in Cork?

Well, the flags of all the past overseas missions were carried in the parade to mark the
90th Anniversary of the Easter Rising in 2006. These too, would have been stood down
at that point...
Hedgehog might even recognise a couple of faces here, as it's the Vikings carrying the
flags....
