Extract

The first thing that pop up in peoples mind, when Ireland is mentioned, is the Troubles. I have chosen to have a closer look on the country's flag, what it symbolise, its story and its relations to the Troubles:
Article 7 of the Constitution of Ireland states says that "The National Flag is the Tricolour of Green, White and Orange."
It's a symbol of the conflict, it symbolise the diverse people of Ireland. The green is a symbol of the ancient Ireland (Emerald Isle) and of course the previous (unofficial) flag which was a symbol for the Irish nationalism from 1798 until the start of the twentieth century. The protestants are represented by the orange colour, this colour has represented them since the battle of Boyne in 1690 where William of Orange defeated James the second. Obviously it wasn't to honour this defeat that the colour was chosen, but instead in recognition of the protestant "minority" in Ireland. The white part of the flag symbolise the hope of peace between the two groups.
