Sir, – I see that national flags were not flown nor anthems sung at the recent women's soccer international between the Republic and Northern Ireland (Sport, Thurs. 21stSept.ember 21st). Whatever about anthems, the absence of national flags must have been a wrench for the two sets of supporters. How else could they advertise their local pubs? This would never have happened if the men were playing. – Yours, etc,
LOUIS HOGAN,
Wicklow Town.
