All ships should. But I don't know if there is anyone in the VS tower to notice any more.
The Old Skipper of Cill Airne was ex NS, so he was particularly keen that this tradition be maintained. Have not seen any ship do it for some time.

I have a small related question if someone can answer it.
I spent a couple of days on the Cill Airne doing my work experience during transition year (all too long ago). One of my 'jobs' was to dip the ensign when we passed Haulbowline.
What ships have to do this? and how many still do - I think I mean how many still fly the irish flag?

Thanks for that photo Derfel. From the angle that I was looking at it, it really did look like it was at half mast. If you look at the photo I can easily be understood how the mistake was made. Thanks for that
