message: The current 'sky blue' colour being used for Dublin's colours is too dark by several shades, I think. Bastun 15:18, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  Yep - still looks too dark. If you look at the blue of the 'sea' in the Dublin GAA crest, that's the correct colour. Bastun 16:04, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The Armagh flag looks a bit too like the Antrim one. Think it needs to be a bit more orange (no offence intended!). Will use the colours from their jersey. Afn 11:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

County colours of the GAA (Gnevin 22:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see a need for dab.  GAA currently redirects to Gaelic Athletic Association; I've only just now created GAA (disambiguation) and neither alternative is likely to be confusable in this context.  Many articles within :Category:Gaelic Athletic Association including most of :Category:Gaelic Sport Governing Bodies use "GAA".  If you think County colours of the GAA reads better than GAA county colours, fair enough, change it; I don't care either way. jnestorius(talk) 15:34, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I was asked to give some tips on improvement. I am not very familiar with this subject, but I'll give it a go. 
*References in the form of in-line citations should be added (Wikipedia:Citing sources)
*Some more on the history
**When did the custom start?
**Did it play a role during the independence and civil wars (wasn't hurling forbidden during the union)?
*Some more on the use of the flag
**As county flag (are the flags used officially or by people not interested in GAA?)
*The list of colours could also contain the year of first use.
Hope this helped :) Inge 11:31, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Just noticed this: Written Answers - County Flags Dáil debates Wednesday, 14 September 2011; Vol.740 No.1 p.113:
*Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Finance (Michael Noonan) if his attention has been drawn to the fact that in the Upper Yard, Dublin Castle, the display of flags with county colours includes 26 and not 32 counties; if he will ask the Office of Public Works to rectify this and to ensure that all 32 flags are included. [24052/11]
* Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Deputy Brian Hayes):  The number of flags displayed at any one time in the Upper Courtyard of Dublin Castle is dictated by the number of flagpoles available. At present 28 flagpoles are available representing the members of the EU and the EU flag which are flown during the EU Presidency. The flags of the 32 counties are currently flown in rotation. It is not planned to erect any further flagpoles at present.
There are some (not very good) photos of the flags in question in this blog post. A similar (but better) photo would enhance this article. The flags seem to be the newer style with the county crest in the centre. jnestorius(talk) 18:33, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

message: The article lists the Offaly colours as green, white, and gold. I'm almost certain that this is wrong, and that the actual colours of Offaly are green, white, and yellow. (Note: The flag of Ireland itself is green, white, and orange, but is often inaccurately described as green, white, and gold. Perhaps some confusion is creeping in?)

message: , would you be able to clarify what the image used is of? The caption says "Fans of Tyrone (red and white) and Meath (green and yellow) on Hill 16 in Croke Park watching the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship 2007 semifinal." but the image description says it was taken at the quarter-finals, so the teams would have been Sligo, Cork, Tyrone and Meath.
