Ireland National Flag - Symbol of Heritage and Unity #1371171 (License: Personal Use)

The Irish flag features three equal vertical stripes: green (representing Gaelic Ireland), white (symbolizing peace between communities), and orange (honoring William of Orange and the Protestant minority). Crafted from satin-like fabric, the flag appears richly textured with natural folds and light reflections, evoking movement and pride. It was first flown publicly in 1848 and later adopted as the national flag of the Irish Free State in 1922.
