| Message | Academician Brian Boru rises to speak on this bill. With the exception of the new design for the flag, which we think is an excellent improvement over the current one, we can see no reason to accept any of these changes. The Celtic citizenry of this great land deserve to be represented in the naming conventions of the country, and we feel that the current titles are necessary and sufficient. |
