“A popular Irish bar in Florida has been banned from flying the Irish flag just days before St Patrick’s Day. The owners of Culhane’s Irish Pub in Atlantic Beach, northeast Florida, have been told they are no longer allowed to fly the flag because of a local rule banning the commercial display of non-U.S. flags despite displaying it for eight years. The four sisters who own the bar said they would apply for a temporary permit to at least fly the green, white and orange flag on St. Patrick’s Day but are shocked by the ruling.”
