Ireland Tricolor Flag Cotton Tea Towel

The national flag of Ireland (Irish: bratach na hÉireann) – frequently referred to

as the Irish tricolour – is a vertical tricolor of green (at the hoist), white, and orange.

 The proportions of the flag are 1:2 (that is to say that, as flown horizontally, the

flag is half as high as it is wide). The Irish government has described the symbolism

behind each colour as being that of green representing the Gaelic tradition of Ireland,

orange representing the followers of William of Orange in Ireland, and white

representing the aspiration for peace between them.

 The flag was adopted in 1916 by the Easter Rising rebels and subsequently by the Irish

Republic during the Irish War of Independence (1919–1921). Its use was continued by

the Irish Free State (1922–1937) and it was later given constitutional status under the

1937 Constitution of Ireland. The tricolor is used by nationalists on both sides of the

border as the national flag of the whole island of Ireland since 1916. Thus it is flown

by many nationalists in Northern Ireland as well as by the Gaelic Athletic Association.
