Poll: Would you wear a shamrock poppy?
It’s a divisive issue.
EVERY NOVEMBER, THE debate about whether Irish people should wear poppies rears its head.
Fine Gael senator Frank Feighan this morning said he’s asking Irish politicians to wear a shamrock poppy – a special commemorative design which honours Ireland’s dead in the First World War.

This morning we want to know: Would you wear a shamrock poppy?
