Heavy Duty Flag Of Ireland (Large) 5'x3' by OUTBOUND
The OUTBOUND Heavy Duty Flag of Ireland is a large-format representation of the Irish national flag, featuring the familiar vertical tricolour of green, white and orange. Measuring 150 cm x 90 cm, this flag is suitable for Irish cultural events, sporting occasions, St Patrick's Day celebrations, heritage displays, schools, clubs, workplaces and private collections.
The Irish tricolour has its origins in the Young Ireland movement of the 19th century. Thomas Francis Meagher first presented and flew a green, white and orange tricolour in Waterford on 7 March 1848. The design was influenced by the French Tricolour, which had become an important symbol during the political upheavals taking place across Europe at the time. In April 1848, Meagher explained the symbolism of the white central stripe as representing a lasting truce between the traditions associated with green and orange.
The flag was not immediately adopted as Ireland's national flag and saw relatively limited use during the remainder of the 19th century. Its significance changed dramatically during the Easter Rising of 1916, when the green, white and orange tricolour was flown over Dublin's General Post Office alongside other flags during the proclamation of the Irish Republic. Following the Rising, the tricolour became increasingly associated with the Irish independence movement.
The tricolour was used by the Irish Free State from 1922 and received formal constitutional recognition in 1937. Article 7 of the Constitution of Ireland states that the national flag is the tricolour of green, white and orange. The Irish Government specifies that the three colours are equal in size, with green positioned next to the flagstaff and the flag having a width twice its height.
