Brief Description
The Republic of Ireland's flag has three equal-sized rectangles of orange, white, and green (a tricolor). The green side is by the flagpole. The green color on the flag represents the native people of Ireland (most of whom are Roman Catholic). The orange color represents the British supporters of William of Orange who settled in Northern Ireland in the 17th century (most of whom are Protestant). The white in the center of the flag represents peace between these two groups of people.
