Ireland National Flag - Symbol of Irish Identity and Heritage #1371162 (License: Personal Use)

The Irish flag features three equal vertical stripes: green (representing Gaelic tradition and Irish nationalism), white (symbolizing peace and unity between communities), and orange (honoring William of Orange and the Protestant minority). Adopted during the 1848 Young Irelander Rebellion, it became the official national flag in 1922 upon the establishment of the Irish Free State. Its design reflects Ireland’s complex history and enduring aspiration for reconciliation.
