Flag of Ireland

"The national flag of Ireland – frequently referred to as the Irish tricolour – is a vertical tricolour 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."
