Royal Mail Bags and 1916 paintings

I find it utterly revolting to see Royal Mail bags being used to collect and transport Irish mail. And not just in the 6 counties still under English occupation. These bags can be seen in every post office in the 26 counties of the Republic of Ireland. The worst insult is to see them lying around in the GPO! The courageous men and women who fought there to give Ireland our freedom are being totally disregarded and disrespected. We must get our own mailbags immediately! What in God's name is wrong with this country? Did not Bertie Ahern promise that Ireland would stand on its own feet?
