The British flag has the Irish Saint's Cross in it! What could be more inclusive of all the Irish people than that! Indeed, without the clever inclusion of the Cross of St Patrick, the Union Jack design is far less dramatic.
Alistair McConnachie on the Union Jack’s cross-community (and border) appeal.
Also on a connected matter, contrary to common belief, Wales is already represented on the Union Jack...now, how? Think about it!
I’ve got to say though, that if it is to be altered, Mr Mc Connachie’s suggestion makes much more sense aesthetically than the Milton Keynes ‘Mare:
The St David's Cross is a gold cross on a black background. Theoretically, this could be incorporated quite attractively into a Union Jack, perhaps for some ceremonial occasions in Wales, by running a gold trim down the sides -- inside or out -- of the red St George's Cross

Shankill Moaner suggested a dragon. It showed a picture of the Union Jack with the face of Thatcher in the middle of it.
Well she is of Welsh ancestery after all (maiden name: Roberts, methodist)
Wales is represented on the Union Jack already because a lot of people FORGET that Wales is simply part of England! Now we just need to reunify the 26 republican counties in Ireland with the rest of Britain to restore the best flag in the world to its rightful former glory!
Can I shoot anon 8:50 for his ignorance?
Wales has never been part of England, it was part of the Kingdom of England when it merged with the Kingdom of Scotland. The WLaws in Wales Act (our version of Acts of Union) explicitly explains that Wales and England remain seperate. Think of the British Empire. India was part of the British Empire but not of the UK - same with Wales, the Kingdom of England and England.
Wales is no more a part of England than England is of Wales -sorry if that spoils your fun!
