About the Flag
The tricolour, as it’s known in Ireland, is also known as Bratach na hÉireann in Irish.
The three colours have specific meanings: the green represents the Catholic religion, the orange represents the protestant religion, and the white in between signifies a lasting truce or peace between the two.
The troubles in Ireland were a huge part of Irish history when civil war broke out between the two religions, the Catholics predominantly in the south and the protestants in the north. The flag is a sign of peace and unity
