Ireland Flag - Meaning, History, and Official Design #3868601 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Ireland, known as the Irish tricolour, consists of three equal vertical bands: green (hoist side), white, and orange (fly side). Green represents the Gaelic tradition and Irish Catholic majority, orange symbolizes the followers of William of Orange and the Protestant minority, while white stands for peace and unity between them. First flown publicly in 1848, it became the official national flag upon the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922.
