Hi the Irish flag is green(hoist side),white & orange...green represents the native people of ireland..white represents peace and honesty...orange represents the protestant faith of northern ireland...The Irish tri-colour was first used in 1878 by irish nationalists...and it was offically the Irish flag in 1922, when the Republic of Ireland became independent from the United Kingdom.....
From: Ingrid on 2006-02-26 23:08:30
thanks for that! but white stands for peace... why does that sound so weird in combination with ireland... I mean.. with all the IRA war stuff e.d.

It does Ingrid,i wonder if any one has any history about the WHITE in the Irish Flag??myself as an American;i would be interested,any extra history?
From: History of the Irish flag for U2 fans worldwide! on 2006-02-27 20:02:33
The Irish tri-colour was first unfurled and introduced in public on March 7th,1848 by millitant nationalist-THOMAS FRANCIS MEAGHER of the 'Young Ireland' group;he said that 'the WHITE in the centre signifies lasting truce between GREEN and ORANGE,and i trust that beneath its folds,the hands of Irish Catholic and Irish Protestant,may be clasped in heroic brotherhood'-The tri-colour was not adopted as the flag of the Republic of Ireland until December 6th,1921 when the Irish gained their independence from Great Britain.

that stuff sounds really cool! thanks for all the info, uh, who are you btw?
From: Octu2 on 2006-02-28 18:10:52
The orange is Protestant and the Green Catholic. Orange from I believe "William of Orange."
From: Message for Ingrid & Octu2 on 2006-02-28 19:43:47
Thanks for your comment Ingrid & you are correct Octu2-in fact,the original tri-colour (in which orange was on the hoist side) was forgotten when the 1848 rebellion collapsed. But it was revived by the Irish Volunteers in the Easter Rising of 1916,when the colours were arranged green-white-orange.The Rising took place at the General Post Office (G.P.O),O'Connell Street,Dublinwhich was the Volunteers base.The Irish Volunteers leaders were men such as, Eamon de Valera(who would be come President of Ireland in the future), Michael Collins & Padraig Pearse.Victory by Irish Republicans in the 1918 election ensured it would be the future Irish flag.(The Easter Rising of 1916 is depicted at the start of the Hollywood film 'MICHAEL COLLINS' starring Liam Nesson-which you may have seen-which shows Collins & the Irish Volunteers gunfight with the British forces-you can the Irish tri-colour on top of the G.P.O.)

you must be irish then ;)O'Connell street, that's where the original BonaVox hearing aid store was located XD

Hi there Ingrid-you're correct i'm Irish. I've been giving you the irish flag history,you are correct- by the way about the Bonavox store. Also, the Irish national flag BEFORE 1848 was a gold harp on an emerald green background (the harp is still found on the back of our EURO coins with the word 'EIRE'; which is Irish gaelic for Ireland).Also, the reason our flag became a tri-colour is; that it is based on the national flag of FRANCE. French nationalists had sympathy with THOMAS FRANCIS MEAGHER, and they advised him to make the French & Irish flags similar-which he did.

I feel very informed now. Thanks.
