Flag of Ireland
About the Flag of Ireland
The flag of Ireland, sometimes referred to as the Irish Tricolour, is green, white, and orange. In 1848, it was given to Thomas Francis Meagher from a group of French women who were sympathetic to Irish nationalism. At the time, Irish people hoped for a union between Catholics and Protestants in the country. It became the national Irish flag in 1916 during the Easter Rebellion against British rule.
