The Irish Flag has a green vertical stripe on the left, an orange stripe on the right with the two separated by a white stripe in the center. Green has long been associated with Ireland. Its appearance in this flag has to do with those who supported Irish independence, the orange represents the minority who are descended from the supporters of William of Orange, and the white in the center represents the belief that diversity can be accommodated in peace. Naturally, there is more to be said about each of these elements and the flag in general.
