The Irish standard is a vertical tricolor that features the colors orange, white and green. This national standard was first adopted in 1919 and hence flown from Irish and such flag poles for a while. Interestingly, this tri-color was adopted in the constitution some years later in '37. The orange vertical band is located on the fly-end of the Irish banner.
The republic of Ireland is part of the E.U., and is located in the western part of Europe. Ireland is not the only country to fly a tri-color type standard from national flag poles. Certain other countries also fly a representing tricolor type banner from their national flagpoles.
In history, this country experienced more than its fair share of turmoil. In modern times the territory is parted in two. One part is the Republic of Ireland whereas the other part is called Northern Ireland, which belongs to the United Kingdom. The island counts nearly six and a half million people.
The meaning of this tri-color remains to be defined by the Irish Constitution. However, the national government has indicated that green symbolizes the so-called "Gaelic" tradition of the country. Orange symbolizes the Irish that followed a gentleman called William of Orange. White represents peace between the two colors.
Many that have traveled to Western Europe will likely have seen the Irish tri-color flown from smaller and taller Irish flagpoles. This standard was flown during the Easter Rising that happened in the year 1916. At the time it very much caught the imagination of many as the tricolor that represented a "new country." It became more of a national standard in the then years following.
Considered a "modern knowledge" economy, This country has focused their economic endeavors on services of all kinds, including technological industries, and is dependent on trade and (foreign) investments. The economical crisis that hit the world in 2008, hit Ireland hard. Like other countries, property values plummeted dramatically. The country was in fact the first nation to enter into a recession in the E.U.
I have to yet to observe the national Irish tri-color flown from American and some European flag poles. If used in combination with other national standards, including Old Glory, one is supposed to learn the specifics in terms of Flag Code, and what is considered appropriate when used together.
