Flag of Republic of Ireland. The national flag of Ireland (Irish: bratach na hÉireann) - frequently referred to as the Irish tricolour - is a vertical tricolour of green (at the hoist), white, and orange. The flag was adopted in 1919 by the Irish Republic during its war of independence, and subsequently by the Irish Free State (1922 - 1937), later being given constitutional status under the 1937 Constitution of Ireland. The tricolour is used by nationalists on both sides of the border as the national flag of the whole island of Ireland since 1916. Thus it is flown by many nationalists in Northern Ireland as well as by the Gaelic Athletic Association.
