The Irish flag features three equal vertical stripes: green (symbolizing Gaelic Ireland and Catholic heritage), white (peace and unity between communities), and orange (representing the Protestant minority and William of Orange). Adopted during the 1848 Young Irelander Rebellion, it became the official national flag upon independence in 1922. Its design emphasizes reconciliation and shared identity across Ireland’s diverse historical traditions.
