Flag of Ireland- small (4.5 x 3 cm)

Embroidered patch shows Flag of Ireland-small.Also known as the Irish tricolor, the flag of Ireland was adopted in 1919 during Ireland's war of independence. The Ireland flag consists of three equally sized vertical strips of green, white, and orange. The green is a reflection of the Society of United Irishmen, a republican organization during the 1790s. The orange, on the other hand, is a representation of supporters of the House of Orange, who settled in Northern Ireland in the seventeenth century. The white between the green and orange is a symbol of peace between the two sides, reflecting Irish independence and the union of the people of Ireland. The green on the Irish flag also stands for the native people of Ireland, the Friendly Brothers of St. Patrick.
