Irish Flag - Symbol of Ireland’s Heritage and Unity #2307518 (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). First flown publicly in 1848, it became the official national flag after independence in 1922. Its vibrant silk-like texture and dynamic folds convey movement and pride.
