How to Fold the Irish Flag

The colors that make up the Irish flag are often symbolic and have designated meaning. Three colors make up the Irish flag. Green represents the Catholics of Ireland; orange represents the Protestants of Ireland; and the white stripe between the two represents the idea of unity and peace between both people.

1. Fold the orange section over on top of the white section.

2. Turn the flag over and fold the green section over similarly on top of the opposite side of the white section.

3. Fold the flag in half doubling the orange section in on top of itself, leaving the green on both sides of the remaining square.

The idea behind this specific folding pattern is so that the orange and green sections symbolically never touch. The orange section represents Protestant settlers in Ireland (there is a William of Orange connection but I am unsure as to what) and the green section represents the Catholic indigenous. Because of the conflict between the two in the past in the Republic, the white is included in the flag to represent peace, and to separate them when the flag is folded. Presumably the green section is left foremost as it is the National Color of Ireland. If the Irish Flag is folded triangularly (like the Stars and Stripes), this is incorrect.

What history of the Irish flag?

In the late 18th century green had become associated as the colour of revolution. The United Irishmen, founded in the 1790s, were inspired by the French revolution, and used a green flag, to which they had a harp emblazoned. A rival organisation, the Orange Order, whose main strength was in Ulster, and which was exclusively for Protestants, especially members of the Anglican Church of Ireland, was founded in 1795 in memory of King William of Orange and the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688. Following the Irish Rebellion of 1798, which pitted the "green" tradition of the republican United Irishmen against the "orange" tradition of Anglican Protestant Ascendancy loyal to the British Crown, the ideal of a later nationalist generation in the mid-19th century was to make peace between the two traditions and, if possible, to found a self-governing Ireland on such peace and union.

The oldest known reference to the use of the three colours of green, white and orange as a nationalist emblem dates from September 1830 when tricolour cockades were worn at a meeting held to celebrate the French Revolution of that year - a revolution which restored the use of the French tricolor. However, widespread recognition was not accorded to the flag until 1848. The Irish flag is always flown with the green at the hoist.

In 1937, the tricolour's position as the national flag was formally confirmed by the new Constitution of Ireland.
