The national flag of the Republic of Ireland (Irish: bratach na hÉireann) is a tricolour vertical flag of green, white, and orange.[1][2] It is also known as the Irish tricolour. The flag proportion is 1:2 (length twice the width). To unionists it is frequently seen as antagonistic to their history and culture.

Its meaning is not explained in the Irish Constitution,[3] but the Irish government has stated that:
- the green represents the Gaelic (catholic) tradition of Ireland;
- the orange represents the followers of William of Orange in Ireland who were supporters of the Protestant Anglo-Irish loyalist tradition.
- and the white represents the hope of peace, or a truce, between them.[4][5]
