Some of the counties also have flags. I know the ones for Dublin, Kildare, Laois, Wicklow, Limerick and Donegal. Source: Séamas Ó Brógáin: "County Flags" (same as above).

Mario Fabretto 21-AUG-1996

The flags which Mario sent are all flags of county councils - the elected bodies which are responsible for local administration. They are flown at council offices but they do not represent the counties and are not used by the general population.

Dublin County Council was abolished and replaced by three new county councils (Fingal, South Dublin and D�n Laoghaire-Rathdown) on 1 January 1994.

I don't know what flag (if any) Kildare County Council currently uses, but I doubt very much if the one sent by Mario is still in use because the council's present arms differ considerably from those which appear on the flag.
