> Ireland is the only EU country with English as its primary language. Speaking of politically correct, I can imagine some people from the gaeltacht would not approve of the description of English as the primary language in Ireland. The good thing about flags is that they are visual icons. Country codes are usually in English and our script. How would this work in countries that can't read that? Or people visiting an ATM in e.g. an Arab country and having to find which option is "English" in Arabic. This is where flags really shine.
