Presented as a gift in 1848 to Thomas Francis Meagher from a small group of French women sympathetic to Irish nationalism,[3] it was intended to symbolise the inclusion and hoped-for union between Roman Catholics (symbolised by the green colour) and Protestants (symbolised by the orange colour).
If it’s supposed to represented the union between those two, than why are the green and the orange regions separated by a giant white border?
That’s to represent peace between the two factions.
that went well /s
30 odd years of more or less peace and counting 🤞
