Facts & Secrets About Dublin

The Irish Flag

Miguel B

If you're a foreigner in Ireland, you will have noticed that the Irish are quite proud of their flag, more than other countries :)  You have probably seem all types of merchandise with the Irish flag, haven't you?

As you know, the national flag is a tricolour of green, white and orange vertical stripes.

Why Orange?

The color orange is associated with Northern Irish Protestants because of William of Orange (William III), a King of England, Scotland and Ireland. 

Green for the Emerald Isle?

Green is the color for the Irish Catholics and the Republic of Ireland. Also, the green symbolises revolution. 

White for the peace between Protestants and Catholics

The white in the centre means a lasting truce between the 'Orange' and the 'Green', together in peace.

The current Irish flag was adopted as the national flag of Ireland since the independence from Britain on December 6, 1921.
