No flag is allowed to fly above the US Flag, in the United States, though other flags if not on the same pole may be displayed at the same height and to the left of the US Flag.

It is protocol for handling the Irish flag in Ireland. The same applies in many countries with national flags. An Irish flag flying in another country would not be flown highest, whereas the flag of that country might be. It is the national flag of Ireland, so it is of greater importance than any other flag in Ireland, and so it is flown higher than other flags.
