Ireland National Flag - Symbol of Unity and Heritage #147129 (License: Personal Use)

The national flag of Ireland consists of three equal vertical bands: green (hoist side), white, and orange (fly side). Adopted in 1916 during the Easter Rising, it symbolizes hope for lasting peace between Ireland’s Gaelic Catholic majority (green) and Protestant minority (orange), with white representing neutrality and reconciliation. Its design is simple yet deeply meaningful in Irish political and cultural history.
