Number 5 on my #countyflags and it's time to go to Castle Leslie in Monaghan. There are a few variants on the Monaghan coat of arms and again the GAA uses its own logo, but I'm using the crest of Monaghan county council as the basis of my flag design.
For the fourth of my #countyflags I'm off to the banks of the Boyne in Louth. This is a county where the GAA emblems and colours have nothing to do with the county coat of arms.

Third of my #countyflags and I'm off to Sligo. This crest has a text banner which is a no-go for vexillologists so I've gone for a very simple model.

The second of my #countyflags is Limerick county. I'll do the city later. I also include the symbolism of the crest at the heart of the flag.

One thing that I notice in Portugal is that all the municipalities have their own flags, which fly from the town halls etc. This is something which we don't see in Ireland as we don't have official county flags.
As a an amateur vexillologist I've spent some time imagining what these flags might look like and I'll upload them over the next few weeks, starting today in Antrim.
