Your Country, Your Call is a competition to ignite imaginations and inspire thinking. The winning ideas get up to €500K to help implement the idea.
A Chamber member has proposed an idea for a Tricolour Festival. The proposed annual festival will begin on the 1st of March with a Ceremony of the Flag on The Mall in Waterford City, at the location and on the anniversary of the Tricolour’s first flight in 1848, and will conclude in climactic fashion in Dublin on the 17th of March, to celebrate and commemorate its adoption by the Irish Republic in 1919.
During the 17 days the flag will be relayed through the towns and cities of Ireland (much like the Olympic torch) so that each location along the route can be showcased and highlighted by the media, celebrating some notable Irish achievements in that area.
The festival should be set up as a nationwide trail for visitors that want to achieve the total ‘Irish’ experience.

It has played a pivotal role in the economic, political and cultural life of the country and its motto Urbs Intacta (the untaken city) bears witness to the many power struggles and conflicts in which it has been embroiled through the centuries.
