Ireland National Flag - Symbol of Irish Identity and Heritage #1371163 (License: Personal Use)

The Irish tricolor consists of three equal vertical bands-green (hoist side), white, and orange (fly side)-adopted in 1916 during the Easter Rising. Green represents the Gaelic tradition and Irish Catholic majority, orange symbolizes the Protestant minority and William of Orange, while white signifies the hope for lasting peace between them. It became the official national flag of the Republic of Ireland in 1937.
