Why is there two Northern Ireland flags?

Answer 1

England's flag represents the 'State' of England as St. Georges flag. The Union Flag, or Jack is the flag of Britain (UK) and is the country comprising of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each State within the UK have their own flag but the Union Jack is the national flag

Answer 2

There is only one flag for England which is the cross of St George - a red cross on a white background - which has been used since the time of the Crusades when the Pope requested knights from different countries identify where they came from.

However, there is also the Union Flag representing the United Kingdom and Great Britain. This flag has a complex political and design history but put simply it is an amalgamation of three separate national flags which make up the red, white and blue flag representing all the countries of Great Britain and the United Kingdom - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

When England is to be represented alone the Flag of St George will normally be flown. The Union Flag will be used for anything that involves Great Britain or the United Kingdom.

There are not two Northern Ireland flags. You may be confusing the flag of the province of Ulster and the flag that was used for Northern Ireland until 1972 and which no longer has official status. The flag of the province of Ulster is yellow with a red cross and a red hand on it. The former flag of Northern Ireland was white with a red cross and had a hand and a crown on it. Ulster and Northern Ireland are not the same. Ulster is a province of 9 counties. 6 of those counties make up Northern Ireland. You could also be thinking of the Union flag, which represents the United Kingdom, of which Northern Ireland is a part. There are also a number of other flags associated with aspects and officials of Northern Ireland. See the link below.
