Use of the Ulster Banner at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games

That this Assembly deplores the unilateral action of Commonwealth Games Northern Ireland in declaring that the Ulster Banner will not be used as the flag of the Northern Ireland Team at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games; notes that this flag has been used for this purpose for many decades; and, in the absence of Executive guidance, calls on Commonwealth Games Northern Ireland to desist from such divisive political meddling.
